Stand By Me - Ben E King
When my late partner died following a fight with pancreatic cancer I was listening to Gold Radio and was putting a request in for anything by Queen, something in my head then deleted Queen and put Stand by Me, my internet connection dropped, I got back in and they was playing Stand By Me, that was quick I thought, then the DJ said the weirdest thing, in 22 years as a DJ he had received a text asking for stand by me the very second he queued the track to play, it shook him, he then said okay, lets play something by Queen, There have been a number of instances when I've been in a predicament fearing the worst, or one instance when my car broke down, the track played literally to the slip road, then as I went up the slip road the cam belt went and the car stopped dead, just off the motorway avoiding a potential major accident in rush hour, I remember the AA guy saying someone must be watching over me as that could have been nasty on the main M25, even odder was when her sister died she had wanted another one bits the dust, which the church werent keen on, but the night her sister died the radio played Stand by Me followed by another one bites the dust, synchronicity maybe or perhaps an indication there is something else, most odd was literally a couple of mornings ago, I woke at 2:15am to the sound of Stand by Me, followed by Aerosmiths dont want to miss a thing, which was played at my late partners funeral, this was after a night when I was asking for guidance over a rather major thing in life at the moment and questioning if the spirits do listen to your prayers, I felt a lot of contentment in that and that song, though not often on the radio does appear when i have the biggest problems in life, like a reminder that the better half is still there watching out for me.
