Man sometimes I wish it was 1986 again! You never realize how good you had it when you were young, until you're old...and then it's too late. Fucking life.
My favorite song by the amazing Chrissie Hynde & Thr Pretenders! How I wore this out on a 45! What a beautiful song & video..just shimmers & sparkles with exuberance & joy, especially the live part..and I just love the lyrics & musicianship from the band.
1st pretenders concert : san diego.. get close tour. packed house - 'don't get me wrong' was a smash. show opened with 'room full of mirrors.' electrifying.
Chrissie inspired me to start my own band...which became an all girlie... band...but putting out ad's I got one of the best chick drummers in Holland...amd we covered Brass in pocket whereby I was told to sing it just like Chrissie! my biggest compliment ever!!!! Keep on Rocking ye all
i,ve always loved the part where the song turns into a live concert it makes me wish i was there. i don`t know any other song that does this effect ,magic!
What a great suggestion! I'm such a Stevie fan. Now you have me thinking . . . Chrissie singing (another gorgeous tune) "Silver Spring"! What do you think? (And can you arrange both, please?)
great song thanks for posting .
