Category: The Pretenders

The Pretenders’ hit song ‘Don’t Get Me Wrong’ spins an audio visual of romantic fantasy that cuts through the mundane, shimmering with the kind of neon-lit nostalgia that is both vivid and ephemeral. Much more than a catchy melody, this 1986 classic echoes through the annals of rock with a potent blend of lyrical enigma and stark emotionality.

In the pantheon of rock anthems that transcend the ages, The Pretenders’ ‘I’ll Stand By You’ stands out not just as a soul-stirring track, but as a declaration of unwavering loyalty and compassion. Released in 1994, this ballad, penned by Chrissie Hynde in collaboration with Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg, has since become a beacon of hope and solidarity for listeners navigating the torrents of emotional turmoil.
