Back in 1994, when the radio stations were playing this on the air, I couldn't help but get a little teary-eyed every time I heard it. According to Wikipedia, this was their last single to make the charts, but honestly, if I were Chrissie, I would be a-ok with this being my parting single.
Before I leave you this week, here's more Chrissie Hynde triva: She was married to Jim Kerr, the lead singer of Simple Minds - I covered them not too long ago - and she ran a vegan restaurant in her hometown of Akron, Ohio, for a brief time.
I'll also include another one of my favorites from their album, Get Close, called "Don't Get Me Wrong"...
Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
