Platten’s “Stand By You,” co-written with Morris, became an anthem of affirmation when it appeared on Wildfire. The composition’s strength lies in proportion: its melody ascends without strain, its lyric insists on hope without sentimentality. The 2025 re-recording, Rachel’s Version, reinterprets the same material with tempered urgency, transforming youthful resilience into lived perspective. The continuity between versions underscores how pop’s simplest promises can accumulate complexity over time.
