STAND BY ME

This soundtrack beautifully evokes the nostalgic soundscape of 1959 America, with a compact but powerful selection of rock‑and‑roll and doo‑wop classics. While Jack Nitzsche’s original film underscore sets mood behind the scenes, the released album focuses exclusively on period songs featured in the film, culminating in Ben E. King’s iconic title track, which re‑charted in 1986 thanks to the movie’s success. The collection delivers emotional resonance and authenticity that perfectly complements the film’s bittersweet coming‑of‑age narrative  .
