Talk:I'll Stand by You

movie?
Was this song ever used in a movie? I feel like I associate it with a certain movie, but can't think of which one. KannD86 (talk) 16:17, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Minuet in G Major
The statement that the melody of "I'll Stand By You" is based on some piece of music "A" was true and should never have been removed. The statement was true even though it contained tacit assumptions that were false. It's false that the piece on which the "I'll Stand By You" melody is based is titled "Minuet For Lovers". Most people know it only as "Minuet In G" which might be a title or a description-in-lieu-of-title depending on whether such phrases worked the same way in minds back then as phrases we call 'titles' work in our minds now. It is false that the piece on which the "I'll Stand By You" melody is based was composed by JSBach. It was composed by Christian Pretzold. But to state that "I'll Stand By You" is derived from that piece of music (i.e. the minuet by Pretzold from which "I'll Stand By You" is derived) is still true whether you botch the title and composer or not. If I point at a cardinal and say "That bluejay is red" I am making a correct statement about the COLOR of the bird I am pointing at but making an incorrect statement about its NAME. You should not react as if I pointed at something that wasn't red and said it was red and therefore lied as to the color. That's not what I did. I made a true statement about the color of the thing being pointed at but erred ONLY in using the name of a different species. When we point at Pretzold's piece and say "that piece is the source" the utterance is true, and if we say "that Bach piece is the source" the fact of its being the source is still true while ONLY the assertion that Bach wrote it is false. You should restore (but then CORRECT) the text.2604:2000:C682:2D00:35E8:BA1:A70F:2CD7 (talk)Christopher L. Simpson —Preceding undated comment added 06:06, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Glee version
I believe that the song is performed twice in the TV series Glee, including in The Quarterback. Is this notable enough to be mentioned in the article, and if so, where should it go? Thanks. JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333 (correct me if I'm wrong) 19:07, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
