This record, signed by all four band members, is one of the most prized pieces in my vinyl collection. Hard to believe it's coming up on 40 years since the passing of James and Pete. Chrissie has always been my favorite female voice. What could've been....
He's appreciated. Quite a bit. John Mgceogh on the other hand is not. He was the chill down your spine with Magazine and the guy that made Happy House magic.
some say he didn't have enough material to be judged. Seems like the second album would have been better if there more guitar breaks from Honeycutt. Very inventive guitarist.
Listening in front of my job. Been loving the pretenders since I was a youngster. 42, 3 in a month. Good music has always motivated me. This song takes me back to when I was young and innocent. Clean and sober and not, many times over. Finding motivation for day 1 today. Thankfully this time I didn’t lose everything, except my pride. Wish me luck. I’m blessed. 🙏🏻
@@saraliza3137 haha good question. I never minded but I think maybe my mother did because she ended up divorcing him and he went on to find a girlfriend who kinda looked liked Chrissie but he'd rather it was actually Chrissie 😂
@@cyclinggirl3212 That's so sad and heartbreaking for your mother. I hope she's happier now! I've seen dudes make comments like that over the years and even under videos like this where they married their wives because she looked like a singer he had a crush on. I would never want to be married to somebody who wanted to be married to me because I looked like someone they had a crush on that they couldn't get. Since they couldn't have her they would settle for whoever looks like her instead.
There wasn't much that the 17 year old me was right about, but my love of that guitar solo was spot on. Endlessly rewinding the cassette just to hear that bit.
Fantastic song. Great vocals, guitar and structure. James Honeymoon Scott was phenomenal and very missed, but who isn't still impressed by Martin Chambers' drumming?
Ok, so after listening to this lots of times just to make an assessment: this is extremely hard to challenge as being one of the most important vocal performances in the entire popular music canon. Yes, Chrissie Hynde makes extensive use of that unmistakably distinctive signature vibrato vocal quivering effect in just about everything she sings, but this one is nothing less than a complete tour de force. There's arguably nothing that comes close, not just in her back catalogue, but in the whole of singing. It delivers a totally overwhelming emotional punch, each and every time you listen. Incomparable.
What a great song. Pete’s bass really makes that song come alive. And James solo (what can I say) shear genius. When you look up perfect guitar solo it shows a pic of Jimmy with this song. And praise for Chrissy writing it.
love the pretenders & all of there work, i have to mention as an older semi pro guitar player and having loved all the greats, jimi, srv, eric, george harrison, the guitar break in this song has to be one of the best if not the best for me by james honeyman scott, it lifts the song to another level rather than being a filler as in many songs they are, god bless you james.
One of the great guitar solos ever...so sad that Jimmy Scott's life was so short. Chrissie Hynde is without a doubt the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll...and DAMN does she look good here!! Pretenders, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, Graham Parker, Television, The B-52's, Blondie...new wave sure produced some damn fine music.
Right now, I'm thinking this is the most perfect song I've ever heard for all its parts. I spent some time in Akron last month in the spirit of taking a trip down memory lane and nearly cried a few times I was so happy to be there. I hiked in the woods, drove through the quaint neighborhoods, re-explored Highlands and downtown, and visited that old Akron cemetery that I also used to like to walk through. Your music will always be part of my Akron nostalgia, my teenage years in L.A. (yours was the first concert I ever picked to attend,) and now I have even more appreciation for your music as if I'm hearing it for the first time all over again. Thank you! Thank you!
Saw them live yesterday evening in Portsmouth, after 42 years. It was like listening to the album. Chrissie still has such a powerful voice and she's definitely an icon.
Such a beautiful song, such a sad story for some of the band members who died so young from drug abuse (including the talented founding member Honeyman-Scott (died age 25) who plays the iconic guitar solo in the middle of this song)
This and Stop Sobbing were my favourites by The Pretenders. Her curious phrasing added a little mystery, and the music was so punchy and dynamic. An amazing time with a surfeit of great new acts popping up every few months. Where did the years go?
I played this album to death. Precious, Tattooed Love Boys, Up The Neck, Brass In Pocket, Stop Your Sobbing and this song. It was on vinyl. Played the whole album. These are the ones I remember.
James Honeyman-Scott's death was a true loss for rock-and-roll music. He had Johnny Marr's style before The Smiths, but he could also bring the crunch on tracks like Precious and Tatooed Love Boys.
Incredible song, incredible guitar playing, and with the inimitable ever-so-unique voice of Chrissie Hynde on top of it--it doesn't get better than this. Wow, this brings back such good memories!
man, what an incredible song, even after all these years, it's stood the test of time... the instrumentation, tone, phrasing, lyrics...everything so perfect...
Kid, what changed your mood You've gone all sad, so I feel sad too I think I know some things we never outgrow You think it's wrong I can tell you do How can I explain When you don't want me to Kid, my only kid You look so small, you've gone so quiet I know you know what I'm about I won't deny it But you forgive though you don't understand You've turned your head You've dropped my hand All my sorrow, all my blues All my sorrow Shut the light, go away Full of grace, you cover your face Kid, gracious kid Your eyes are blue but you won't cry I know, angry tears are too dear You won't let them go
This song is magic. A miracle Chrissie Hynde. If you ever read this comment, you are truly blessed with Light & love from god above. This song is a miracle and one of your best🏆
Ah, early 80s MTV, so many great tunes, this, "Message of Love," "Talk of the Town," "Brass in Pocket." I'm partial to the Honeyman-Scott era but "Chain Gang" later was great too.
What I Ioved about the early Pretenders were how varied the songs were. You got this, then Precious or Tatooed Love Boys or Private Life.This new wave era was my favourite.
right then. i was in high school when the Pretenders first album broke and i was already trying to be the next Eddie Van Halen - anyway, when this album came out every single girly in my school showed up the very next day with a Chrissie Hynde haircut and a leather jacket, every one of them suddenly smoking a cigarette trying to be a cool bad-girl. damnit that was 44 years ago
That's amazing! I never realised when this lovely song came out. One of my dad's favourite bands. I just realised - I've been angry with my dad for too long over his lifestyle but it didn't mean he doesn't love me.
@@cyclinggirl3212 thats cool! im listening to it again, and some of her little vocal choruses sound a little like modern retro, like Chromatics. im gonna have to dive deeper, go back and listen to more of her stuff. cus i listen to alot of new retro stuff, Chromatics, Cannons and Wolf Alice, bands like that. it's like, Chromatics has a track called THE PAGE, and it has lot of guitar riffs sounds like The Cure. and one of Cannons newer songs: TUNNEL OF YOU, sounds a lot like Chris Isaak. i love that stuff.. it's fun to go back in time! ☮
@@somejackballHello 👋🏼 I'm back again. I had a listen to the songs - thank you for that, I love discovering music that was unknown to me. For you, I have Anathema Thin air, the video is also lovely and Anathema a natural disaster.
This song always made me sad and then when I heard the story behind the song it made me feel even sadder. I also have a kid of my own now, so that can change one's perspective. Beautiful song.
"Kid" Kid, what changed your mood You've gone all sad, so I feel sad too I think I know some things we never outgrow You think it's wrong I can tell you do How can I explain When you don't want me to Kid, my only kid You look so small, you've gone so quiet I know you know what I'm about I won't deny it But you forgive though you don't understand You've turned your head You've dropped my hand All my sorrow, all my blues All my sorrow Shut the light, go away Full of grace, you cover your face Kid, gracious kid Your eyes are blue but you won't cry I know, angry tears are too dear You won't let them go.
This original line up was something very special. I love the later stuff too, but without Jame and Pete there was a magic lost forever. I get kind of sad when i listen to these early songs.

Treasure that memento forever.
A great band while they lasted. Still, she remains a great artist..
If only they hadn´t overd-dosed, their legacy would have been even greater
But what we got it´s what we got
What was. They created some beautiful music that is special enough. everything is fleeting only the beauty reamains.
Very cool!
yeah, she is divine, just like her music
Honeyman is one of the most talented ,overlooked and underrated guitarists. Sadly his life was far too short.😢
Yes!!!!!
He's appreciated. Quite a bit. John Mgceogh on the other hand is not. He was the chill down your spine with Magazine and the guy that made Happy House magic.
Amen! The solo on this song is one of the greatest ever...
some say he didn't have enough material to be judged. Seems like the second album would have been better if there more guitar breaks from Honeycutt. Very inventive guitarist.
“Some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright”
Killer tune. Honeyman was so clever coming up with riffs and licks.
The first Pretender record is a go to for iconic guitar riffs.
Hell yeah
Totally agree
Superb guitarist & sadly missed
Him and Pete Farndon had this way of playing that was so interactive with one another. Theres only one true line up for the Pretenders.
JHS's solo in this is a thing of sublime beauty -Gone far too soon
My favorite Pretenders song...💙...Chrissie Hynde's voice is truly one of a kind...
Her vibrato is benchmark..
@@RSTI191 So true. Sweet and heartfelt.
Me too, i love this particular one and the feel to it, superb !
@@RetroReminiscing 💙
Me too
That opening guitar riff. Superb. It's as if the band were saying "Hey, Duane Eddy, this one's for you."
Someone Honeyman- Scott
Chrissie has one of the most beautiful voices ever. She never fails to send shivers down my everywhere. I`ve always loved her
Is she really from Ohio? Doesn't look like a buckeye fan.
Looks Beautiful in that jacket .
Yes, indeed she is.
Everything about her was one of the most beautiful ever.
Seriously. Shivers.

1 day at a time. Put using off until tomorrow (every day). Live your life
When she wails "All my sorrow, all my blues"
Levels me right down to the floor
makes me cry, even if I hadn't drank!!
It's the best bit of an all around fantastic song x
WOW!!! What a beautiful woman. If you ask my dad who he fancies, it'll always be Chrisie for him before any other woman ❤️
Chrissie Hynde is amazing and has a fantabulous voice.....
Um, but what about your mom?
Give me Chrissy, Martha Quinn, and a desert island, and everything will be just fine.
@@saraliza3137 haha good question. I never minded but I think maybe my mother did because she ended up divorcing him and he went on to find a girlfriend who kinda looked liked Chrissie but he'd rather it was actually Chrissie 😂

Being the family scapegoat, this is my self-love, loving-my-inner-child song.
This song has everything. Catchy, unpredictable, great riffs, Chrissie's voice is top-notch and the outro
2:41 🤯😭
Fantastic song. Great vocals, guitar and structure. James Honeymoon Scott was phenomenal and very missed, but who isn't still impressed by Martin Chambers' drumming?
One of the greatest records ever. Chrissie and Honeyman-Scott It's just crazy.
The end is when I get upset. Honeyman-Scott and Farndon take us out...never to be heard again.
Marty and Farndon had to deal with Chrissie's rather idiosyncratic idea of time, but they did.
They Ringo'd it up.
It's impossible not to love Pretenders music.
Truly!!!
hmmm love is a strong word. its ok lol . if this is their best song then youch lol
@@titoqwentezproductionz3406 Miaow!!!! And who said it was their best song?
I can never not cry to this song, and I'm happy about that!
O dear lord, one of the best songs ever. Everything about this..
yes yes yes
This is rock n roll. Her voice is rust belt sweet and the Honeymans guitar is superb. I confess I'm captivated,
Ok, so after listening to this lots of times just to make an assessment: this is extremely hard to challenge as being one of the most important vocal performances in the entire popular music canon.

These are the kind of female voices I consider "sexy"---Chrissie Hynde, Karen Carpenter, and Ann Wilson
@@impalaman9707 Linda Ronstadt, Olivia Newton-John, Bobbie Gentry, th-cam.com/video/CZt5Q-u4crc/w-d-xo.html
Thank goodness for this band. When I was down as a kid, I could always count on Chrissy and Pretenders to cheer me up! Life ain’t so bad 😊
Always was a favorite of mine growing up, love Jimmy Scott's sense of melody and he shines on this one.
The guitar solo kicks in and from 1.45 until 2.12 is a music masterpiece
100%, and the genius to end it on that glassy harmonic 🤌
Chrissy is beautiful, so is her voice. I love this woman
she's as good as it gets
@@SorenKk learn English ,, and have a better life
What a great song. Pete’s bass really makes that song come alive. And James solo (what can I say) shear genius. When you look up perfect guitar solo it shows a pic of Jimmy with this song. And praise for Chrissy writing it.

Completely agree, I'd go so far as to say it is brilliant. Well stated Mr. Day.
Spot on 👌.

Pretenders, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, Graham Parker, Television, The B-52's, Blondie...new wave sure produced some damn fine music.
Has to be one of the greatest debut albums ever, every song a killer.
The greatest.
I agree, an island album for sure!
❤
DEVO, Pretenders, B-52's...that's it
@@NormAppleton Those are three outstanding debut albums, and I played them over and over back i9n the day.

@@julianbirch7466 You're right. The more I think of it, you are so right.
very cool comments to iconic groovy af. music included on real archetypical album compositions imao.
Akron? Do they have a 70 foot tall statue of ms Hynde?
Damn, this made my day. Ashamed to admit, it's the first time I've ever listened to this song. Incredible.
Saw them live yesterday evening in Portsmouth, after 42 years. It was like listening to the album.
Chrissie still has such a powerful voice and she's definitely an icon.
The time after school at times.
Miss the 80s so much.
Killer tune!!!
It's sad to see the original members of the band that were so good no longer there anymore. Credit to Chrissie keeping the band going..
Perfect. Cannot be exceeded.
And Ms. Hynde is TRULY unappreciated.
Her newest material is just as strong as ever.
They had massive worldwide success and have fans for life! That's not bad, eh?
@@kingofthecatnap6246 And she sometimes rides public transportation lol!
You do not lie. She still kills it.
Bitch can play. She is good
Thanks for all the years of music.
Brilliant comes to mind…she’s a one off and an unbelievable singer/artist
The original and best line up- I saw them at The Marquee, London, in 1979 just about the time their debut album was released. Great gig…
lucky you !!!
Such a beautiful song, such a sad story for some of the band members who died so young from drug abuse (including the talented founding member Honeyman-Scott (died age 25) who plays the iconic guitar solo in the middle of this song)
They have so many beautiful tracks, this one holds a special place in my heart ❤
Chrissy Hynde was meant to be a Pop star! Beautiful looks and Voice to match plus she writes good songs! 👏🏻🎸😎
Punk star
Nah, She was meant to stand next to James Osterberg.
I understand where you're coming from. CH could have evolved into a Gwen Stefani; but she stayed true to herself and her art.
@@artlover1477 I agree or a Taylor Swift. She’s just a Fashion Diva now.
And didn't she start her music career behind a desk at a record company?
This and Stop Sobbing were my favourites by The Pretenders. Her curious phrasing added a little mystery, and the music was so punchy and dynamic. An amazing time with a surfeit of great new acts popping up every few months. Where did the years go?

Me too...morning, noon and night
How could you forget Mystery Achievement and The Wait?
Fantastic album, i love private life too
Yep we played these songs at huge San Pedro party back in the summer of 84
It is one of the top ten records ever. I defy you to find a bad song.
One of the best guitar solos in the world 😎🎸
Tell me why (in your words) you think its the best solo in the world ?
@@rayvandragon you play ?
@@BadRonald1 yep, and I love Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhoads, SRV, Van Halen...🤘😎🎸
Yes...Now I cry
One of the greatest albums of all time.

Johnny Marr brought lots of crunch to some of The Smiths songs too. Don't forget that. Listen to 'London' if you need a reminder.
I vaguely remember reading that Marr used this as his warmup before playing
this is one of my favorite songs by them. notably for honeyman-scott's solos.
they are not solos there riffs
@@nickprica3127 nope. His playing on Kid is a solo.

Always brings me to tears, just for its beauty and uniqueness. I don't know how they did it.

You've gone all sad, so I feel sad too

How can I explain
When you don't want me to

You look so small, you've gone so quiet
I know you know what I'm about
I won't deny it
But you forgive though you don't understand
You've turned your head
You've dropped my hand
All my sorrow, all my blues
All my sorrow
Shut the light, go away
Full of grace, you cover your face
Kid, gracious kid
Your eyes are blue but you won't cry
I know, angry tears are too dear
You won't let them go
Nice, Pablo!
Thank you.
I don't understand why this song doesn't get any FM rock radio airplay? It's great!
Not much of a tune
You need to listen to an 'oldies' station....old tunes
I 'd like to hear 60's songs on the radio , but that would mean trying to find an " extra old oldies" station....lol...ugh
Just rediscovered this song. I can't stop playing it. Looking to book a concert soon in Chicago or Nashville.
what a song
This song is magic. A miracle Chrissie Hynde. If you ever read this comment, you are truly blessed with Light & love from god above. This song is a miracle and one of your best🏆
will music ever have a soul again...Missing so much 🥀
Solid. Gold.
Somehow Happy and sad together ❤
At 67 y.o. my dream would be Chrissy n stevie nicks in a room so I could thank them for all the memories.
i'm 64. same thing. i saw the pretenders twice in los angeles 40 years ago! chrissy makes me want to be a good person! lol!

Such a wonderful song and so bitter-sweet as well. All in all, a true classic.
Saw The Pretenders 1979 Central Park, concert series presented by Dr. Pepper. Definitely one of my top ten concerts
so apparently this is from 42 years ago, pretty amazing how it still stands up!
One of the last great songs of the 70s. Recorded in 1979.

Superb band and the much missed Jimmy and Pete.....
懐かしい
Chrissie & The Pretenders forever💋
Fabulous!❤
Best Rock'n'roll band ever.
Another Pretenders' song that has had the "my favorite Pretenders' song" designation.
Best female voice in rock history
Chrissie and Janis 👍❤️
Personally I love Barbra Streisand..
There's absolutely not one voice that can fill her shoes. Sad I just missed them in Ma. She's the bomb.❤
That guitar intro SO belies the involvement of one Nick Lowe twiddling the knobs of his signature production…
Bass line is perfect.
One of my fav's, relatable for me and my only kid.
2022 e ainda estou aqui escutando repetidamente estas que foram as grandes músicas de ontem, hoje e sempre.
Imagine going to your local carnival and seeing the Pretenders playing with Jimmy in a blue suit and hot pink guitar playing away!
I saw her sing live in her mid 60’s and she was incredible…voice of an angel
you must be confused with someone else
