[chadhys]

Chrissy has more heart and talent then any girl that has been on the radio in the last 10 yrs. What a great band and they deserve some credit !!!

[lushjason]

i STOOD BY YOUR SIDE FOR 8 YRS ...........

[cryssize]

superba melodie

[MrBrynnemac]

i gave this song and my heart to my love...i carried her and loved her for 10 years... then she gave one of them back.... i stood by you...now i stand alone

[MsPaparaki]

@MrBrynnemac :(( I know how it feels like... :(

[Toergen]

wonderfull its a haeven song Merci

[likeashot42084]

this song makes me think of my kids. every word in this song is exactly how i feel about them. there is no greater love. <3

[Mixedia]

This makes me smile so much. The guy looks just like my fiancé and the girl has the same features as me - black hair and a love of jeans! And this song just explains me and him, we give so much support to each other as we're both going through a hard time at the moment. Perfect representation <3

[DrHaZyM]

@Mixedia if ur fiance looks anything like dat guy then ur one lucky b**** hold on 2 him ;)

[SuperRagil88]

39 dislike are sick !!

[jennadyvyne]

Love this song!!! Christopher, I'll Always Stand by you!!! Love you

[MissSketr]

damn I would have loved to wash that guy!

[Rousseti]

C(l)assic

[Manfi111]

Thumbs up If you're listening to this song In 2013 .____.

[municabrava1]

@Manfi111 lol.

[powerghost216]

I realize this year (2012), civilization is fading fast. Its very good to know that songs like this can help put it back in one peace IF we all come as one and drop our foolish pride, and STOP all human destruction of all mankind!!

[sTapleEVA]

@powerghost216 fuck that shit. i can't wait to rob your house

[discerdan]

@TizianoSorrisoBello Sorry to hear that,.. I know your pain. Time changes eveything and often instead of growing together,...people grow apart. A bitter lesson, but one worth learning.

[JeffreyMulac8]

No one will ever sing this song like Chrissie, so soulful. Such a legend

[MaureenaAlbaNeira]

Q musica m encanta...

[job41475]

Based on the beginning of this video, I guess the lesson is it IS ok to cry over spilled milk.

[WineGlassInMyHand]

many men have tortured souls that they hide inside. a great woman can help. Thank her if you are so fortunate.

[W3WAR3]

@WineGlassInMyHand Many people have tortured souls that they hide...a great partner/friend can help. Yes, thank him/her for being there for you.

[REIALVES]

Nothing you confess could make me love you less--

Wonderful, everything that a man can say to his love.

[kedhis]

I love this song.  It empowers the person in love.

[pumpumpumpumkin5]

i think that there are some un-needed dislikes on the bar

[EvouuuU77]

cette chanson me fait penser a toi mon Coeur !!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3 je t'aime mon Coeur !!! <3<3<3 E+B = <3 forever !!!!! <3<3<3 tu me manques trop ! <3<3 envie d'etre dans tes bras !!! Pour toi mon Coeur !!<3<3 je t'aime a la FOLIIIIIIE !!! <3

[solange5381]

[awmoore77]

Every man looking for a woman wants her to say these words.

[lesia41jane]

I Love this song! Just wondering who the Sexy guy is????

[DCussen]

@lesia41jane That's me.

[SaladGirlie]

yet another amazing song from the Great 90s

[Supersweetguy]

@SaladGirlie This was the 80's.

[rfigueira]

@Supersweetguy this song is from 1994.

[eric251982]

Stunning. Everything about the song. Goosebumps all over my body.

[buffyslayer30]

good song right here LOVE it.

[con44af]

still the best!

[alberto31402]

gran tema.

[EvouuuU77]

clarouu , cette video me fait trop penser a A et a B !!!!!!!!!!!!

[shabbacpbass]

Who is the actor in this video?



[HAT1701D]

Far better many years later than Carrie Underwood's rendition.

[TheSilesiaPL]

Piękna piosenka.

[mapple432]

Chrissie Hynde has written many many great songs. However, this would not reach the top 50 IMO. That's how fantastic of a songwriter she is...

[TheCallumkye03]

i love it lovely song

[Rafaelbr1986]

this song was part of the soundtrack of a soap opera called A Viagem( The Journey) in Brazil.I was just 8 years old in 1994...good and sweet memories from those times

[GDEASTON123]

The only way that Carrie could possibly surpass the number of hits by Chrissie, would be if Carrie did something bizarre like dye her hair pink or something.

[lucillaPax69]

Beautiful love song!

[discerdan]

Exquisite.



[wakka5010]

Awesome song, but what the hell is going on in the video?

[vcat10]

@wakka5010 She is in a relationship with a troubled unhappy man and it seems she spends a lot of their relationship together propping him up, saving him etc. The clip is definitely not as positive and sweet as the song.

[SophieBiebers]

Thumbs up if you are listening to this in 2012!! :) 

[ZyklonB95]

@SophieBiebers No, I'm a time traveler and I'm listening in 2009... of course we are listening to this in 2012...



[iheartsjonas]

@SophieBiebers nope i'm watching this with abe lincoln. he loves it.

[ragm146]

@SophieBiebers

No! im listening this at 1980! before the song was made!



[ro7mania]

@SophieBiebers Actually I'm listening in 2154.

[TheEuloula]

NOTHING YOU CONFESS COULD MAKE ME LOVE YOU LESS/// NICE NICE

[TheNEK1995]

 feminine song; poetry lyric,class..x

[chalicexox]

@TheNEK1995 not by necessity feminine, music is universal

[TheNEK1995]

@chalicexox =what role does music actually play in the construction of emotional and/or

gendered characterization?...

[chalicexox]

@TheNEK1995 absolutely nil. except in stereotype

[TheNEK1995]

@chalicexox -...While music is subject to different interpretations and tastes, let's get away from stereotypes.

[jojoloyo1]

i like vidio and song

[DeearniaSoul]

in response to bobby - do a search - another version has well over 6 million views then add the views on other versions. A great song with plenty of fans. Remember imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I haven't heard of Carry Underwood, but obviously she loves this song too.

[sayasukagayakamu]

i ilke it



[judool]

This is to the man I love aaf

[yeyo2578]

classic, one of the best song. Excelente canción.

[SirTen10]

Beautiful song indeed. Just perfect.

[banusinho]

"so if u mad, get mad dont hold it on inside", yes off course i do that everytime

[redredshoes]

Man, if Chrissie were singing this gorgeous song to me I would be a lot less sulky than he is.

[Mandarke90]

Girls Aloud's version is better, I disliked this one

[Brimoeris1]

@Mandarke90 Of course you would type that you like a bubble gum, cookie cutter group like Girls Aloud version better than the 1 & only, Chrissie Hynde. She CAN SING/ WRITE & not be mixed in w/a girls group. Chrissie Hynde can stand out from the Payola crowd that has been sucking @ the veins of the music industry for the past 2 decades. Girls Aloud are just another group that is being put out by the big wigs in the music industry so you & others like you, will buy their music.

[Brimoeris1]

@Mandarke90 The Pretenders are REAL MUSIC not like all the ridiculous fodder you listen too. The Pretenders can come up w/their own music & not rip off talented singers/songwriters like others & Girls Aloud have for far too long.

[Sergiocrivelin]

This song is just fantastic,NO OTHER band can perform it better!

[sk5289313]

A wonderful song - this is real music!

[mpwilson1000]

really thought i had someone like this for many years...real kick in the balls when you discover your betrayed..still a beutiful song

[discerdan]

P E R F E C T I O N !

[Suitofboots]

"Hey, what you got to hide? I get angry to, well i'm alot like you"  Awesome lyrics!!

[broderie63]

Best Song of Chrissie. Best Song ever!!

I love it!

[erwin395]

deeply touching my heart

[Triichize]

This song is so powerful... ♥ That´s all I can say

[rsamoela]

thumbs up if you're tired of chuck norris freaking ad..

[JEMCO2008]

What a wonderful post . / Thank you.

[11maebelle]

"Nothing you confess could make me love you less." --brilliant, lovely, and sums up true love.

[Guyasudre]

@11maebelle

I was just thinking the same thing and then I read your comment. I couldn't agree more.

[solwrappednpaperlips]

The best answer to bullies is : I don't care ! Pitty them because they don't like themselves they are stupid couards ! Laught at them and be confident in yourself !

[Tripl3333]

@11maebelle ...i'm a guy and say....beautifully said.....!!! damn i'm a wuss...but i don't care...lol

[kolodaxtiliazo]

@11maebelle just perfect.....

[Mike61onUTube]

chrissie hynde, she's the one and only authentic singer for this song!

[GDEASTON123]

bubbles250191: I saw this video a couple of days ago, for the first time. I was absolutely mesmerized by it. It is truly a work of art. (I think they could have left out the mouse and the cockroach.) Your boyfriend had awfully good taste, sending it to you.

[funny0000000]

This video reminds me of my mom being there always for my oldest brother. I think my brothers life is going to end very soon. He was bullied for years in school and literally spit on by classmates and now many years later he is still a total mess.

If anyone reading this is a bully think about your actions. Making people feel worthless to make yourself feel better has long term effects that are hard to fathom when you are doing it.

[feralbigdog]

@funny0000000 bullies know exactly what they are doing to their victims, thats why they do it, they want their victims to feel bad to make themselves feel better or feel superior for a while, ive had to put up with them all through high school, the only thing that made them back off for a while is a kick to the nuts, they dont speak respect only buttwhoop, and you have to speak it louder when they start up, ive spoken it multiple times.

[elderberry9]

Great song, and probably their best video, which makes it unfortunate that I can't find a 480px version of it anywhere on YouTube.

[pimpdogpatrick]

this song gets me everytime,frekkin amazing

[carebear27203]

I dedicate this song to my bestest friend Brandi, I love you!

[kazzbah100]

this is the song i dedicated to my man. love it!!!!

[GDEASTON123]

mountaincr: Sorry, but Susanna Hoffs has got her beat(The Bangles). However, I agree that this is one fantastic song and fantastic performance. She even composed the song, yet 30 people dislike this song. How can it be. It be!

[mikescherr1]

even it youre wrong

[dednrurc]

Beautiful song, this song worth to be remembered and cherished a bit more.

[alexrourke1984]

Also a real hard man, is touched with this beautiful songs

[RocKI4N]

Shakira stole the rythm of this song! Fucking Bitch Shakira!!

Segui robando Shakira!! total los ignorantes te siguen escuchando sin saber la verdad, tremenda puta capitalista!!

[mowntainmancr]

Chrissie Hynde......No one sexier....

[solwrappednpaperlips]

My favorite love song . The most touching ever written in english.

[MrBayuwijaya]

U call my names girls..U call my names..Dont sadness okay

[MGB]

Blimey what a voice. When I was 16 back in 1980 I went out with a girl because she looked like Chrissie Hynde, :)

[insolent25]

Doare.... Si totusi e atat de frumos:)

[bjoork18]

I’ll stand by you

I’ll stand by you

Won’t let nobody hurt you

I’ll stand by you!!! :))

[TheRegina78]

i love pretenders...................

[1950BobbyF]

Chrissie Hynde wrote this song. Her group, The Pretenders, did the definitive & best version of it. How in the world can Carrie Underwood's performance of this song on American Idol get over 2,000,000 more hits than this video? Music in America is just turned on it's head in these days.

[ChadRoe34]

@1950BobbyF Everything is a matter of opinion sir, there will always be people ready to disagree with you, just cuz they can, theres not much you can do or say to change that

[meri7361]

@1950BobbyF Cos they're young and silly and probably never heard Chrissie sing it...

[1950BobbyF]

@meri7361 - I hear you. Thanks for your comment. But sadly, it's been some two months since I wrote my initial comment & Carrie's lead in views is still over 2 million. I just shake my head in amazement.

[jssteiner16]

After all these years Chrissie stills says it best.....sometimes love takes that level of commitment

[goccia1971]

..

[deantzg]

U said that u will stand by me............ :(

[AleAleCo]

Nothing you confess , could make me love you less. I'll stand by you!!

KOCHAM CIĘ KRÓLICZKU

TWÓJ ANIOŁEK :* :* :)

[kubad1990]

Mój Aniołek i tylko mój! Zawsze będę przy Tobie :*

[ivanfreakful]

the closest voice to roxette...

[kevy73]

@ivanfreakful I think it is more Roxette's is the closest voice to Chrissie Hyndes

[Popified]

The Pretenders are and always will be pure class.

[jhoan220540]

Why you look so Sad ?

Let me see your true. I was in the dark Side too.

:') I'll Stand by U

[v7Tina7v]

I love this song ^^

[MalicFroschneid]

<3

[RadioUgly]

How could you not fall in love with this girl. Her voice...

[rhaub1]

@jafas115 This video is full of christian religious imagery, note his cross. Those crucified would often be tied to the cross as well as nailed. Chrissie is untieing him from his cross and then washing away his blood. She then washes his feet in the same manner and then she bathes him, giving him a figurative baptism and rebirth. As for the sewing, *she* is sewing *his* shirt, a very personal act, establishing intimacy.

[RadioUgly]

@rhaub1 Thank you for that great explanation. I figured some of it out. What do you think of the star with the American flag on her chest? Is that symbolic?

[jafas115]

okay i understand this song but what is this video about? Like i dont get why shes like randomly sewing stuff and then hes like passed out and then like what? did he try and kill himself or something with those things tied around his wrists?  i dont get this.

[MrBabyBlue1991]

so emotional

[troupsuper]

very strangely sounding like Abba's 'winner takes it all' !

[IanaIanaIana]

i don't know what others like :)))))) but i liked this boy-model in video - such a beauty :P also saw another more long version of this video ;)

[poetuvdapeople]

How could anyone dislike such a timeless, sweet ballad of unconditional love and devtion such as this!?!?!??!

[adhixsu]

dont know why,, this song always recovers me

[johanesjuanes]

chryssie hynde - amazing voice this song is a master piece.......

[TheDon444]

Not that gone on all their stuff but their ballads are out of this world.

[hard90]

...always cry when i ear this song...

...it´s very special to me...remember me someone i was stand by,but he didn´t made it...

sorry

:-(

[BreezyT816]

Great video. Love Chrissy but would have loved to see more of that beautiful man's face too!

[MrTupelo64]

to all the adults in this world, I dare you to come up with a better love song?? not possible

[Nenaucia]

... sentimientos encontrados.

[otiremoh1]

alguien sabe cual es el nombre del precioso espécimen masculino que sale en el video?

[morganablackheart]

@otiremoh1 estoy de acuerdo contigo, como se llama ese tipo esta super atractivo!!!

[MADMARC2963]

And this is the devotion I search for......

[pakitovillanueva]

this song is for crying

[borrylau]

Don't be ashamed to cry let me see you through

Cause I've seen the dark side too

[divernater]

heartwrenchingly beautiful!!!!!

[sadeynah]

nada q me confiecen me hara amarte menos.....

[uivli]

way to less views !!!!!!!!!!

[46276801]

All is good, but think video is not in enough, weak plot,the song is deeply than video, the second verse need more distortion, the song is very good, great

[discerdan]

I wonder if in 200 years this song will be adored along with other greats like Beethoven's 9th in D minor, Mozart's Ein Kleine Nachtmusik, or Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Simply put,...this will always be beautiful music.

[Ab4r4]

Dont like it.

[bubbles250191]

i was all into pop , jazz , electro , arabic tribal mixes and progressive trance .... thought i was too cool for such oldie music .. but swear never something touched me so deep , specially when i lost my love last month and i recieved this song mailed by him to me rotting in my spam box since two months ! i cried really bad . and i love this song ! cheers to music !

[willams8377]

@bubbles250191 I'm so sorry for you and hope all will be OK for you.

[bubbles250191]

@willams8377  thanks dear . i m recovering .. trying to find reasons for what ever happened in every little thing , every single day .

[dwi9g]

aku akan mendampingi hidup mu,, semoga kita tetap menjadi sahabat mbak winuk pujianti di gresik... SMAN 1 KAWEDANAN I LOVE YOU

[moonsv1]

adoro adoro adoro ricordi momenti idelebili ...adoro

[TheDevilsrejects420]

This song holds so many memories. I would go to the pig stand with my best friends and place this in the juke box . Simply a beautiful song.

[Meb730]

The best song with the best lyrics and the most amazing voice! Just love it! :)

[ijustdiedinyourarms6]

<3

[Janadoidinha]

The most beautifull voice in the rock

[MissD79]

I always think of my beloved Bunnies when I hear this

[OccupyMiamiTv]

Lot of good stuff in this vid

[121CandyFloss]

I love it. I have to sing it in the school production. I hope I don't burst out in to tears<3

[debdebuk]

[lokiforlove]

I want this song to be the first dance at my wedding.
