This little gem of a song showed up in a recent YouTube search.

The 1962 song “Stand In” by Don Robertson and Hal Blair and sung by Jim Reeves might be more of a song about unrequited love, but many a TV/film stand-in can surely relate to the distant dreams for which the singer pines.

Have a listen!
