Les coulisses
Pour cette chanson de Juillet 1989 dont la première caracteristique était cette arrivée progressive d'une chorale, Monmix voulait pousser encore plus loin en amenant un crescendo d'ambiance et d'arrangement quasi orchestral. Une intro avec des cordes, une harpe, des choeurs lointains et une trompette.
Un premier couplet tout en retenue ou le piano se marie avec des cordes et les premières harmonies de chorale
Un deuxieme couplet qui explose avec un coup de distorsion pour laisser immediatement à l'orchestre et une chorale qui commence à s'installer
Le couplet final propose d'abord une petite pause avec un solo cool de guitare (qui rappelle une des mélodies de l'orginal) pour mieux lancer un chorale gospel toujours soutenu par l'orchestre
La version d'orgine etait une gageure sur un magneto 4 pistes, celle là l'est tout autant malgré les moyens modernes puisqu'il a fallu jongler avec plus de 120pistes . D'ailleurs; en 2021, Monmix a décidé de revoir le mixage lors de la conception de la version vinyle de l'album

Paroles
Fight
When someone lets you down, someone sometimes hurts you
Fight
Even if your heart is down
Somewhere another one needs you
When you'll find the reason why somewhere someone is crying
You'll try to find strength to fight
You'll see his eyes crying alone deep inside
You'll never let him down-(you'll never let him down)
Make him never be alone-(you'll never be alone)
Oh, never let somebody cry
A friend in need is a friend indeed, don't forget it
You know misfortunes never come alone
See to it that they will never come alone without you
Fight-
When someone is walking on to implore an help from you
Fight
Just before that he falls down
Nothing more than an help from you
When you'll hold your hand to anyone who wants and needs it
(when you hold, when you hold your hand)
A thrill of pleasure you'll feel-(a thrill of pleasure you'll feel)
You'll see his eyes with a smile deep inside
He'll never let you down-(you'll never be alone)
Make you never be alone-(he'll never let you down)
Oh, always let somebody smile
A friend in need is a friend indeed, don't forget it
You know misfortunes never come alone
See to it that they will never come alone without you
Fight
Oh sometimes somewhere there's always be someone
Who needs your help to find the way to freedom
Oh sometimes somewhere there's always be someone
Who needs your help to find the way to freedom
When you hold-(when you hold) your hand
A thrill of pleasure you'll feel-(a thrill of pleasure you'll feel)
If you hold-(if you hold) your hand
He'll never let you down-(you'll never be alone)
Make you never be alone-(he'll never let you down)
Oh, let always somebody smile
A friend in need is a friend indeed, don't forget it
A friend in need is a friend indeed
A friend in need is a friend indeed, don't forget it
