Breathtaking performance of Ill Stand by You- Chrissie Hynde

Breathtaking performance of Ill Stand by You- Chrissie Hynde | Society Of Rock Videos

Chrissie creates the ultimate power ballad for women in the 90’s

Nothing you confess could make me love you less- i’ll stand by you.

Those lyrics alone have touched women’s hearts across the globe. “I’ll Stand by You” is a power ballad that pledges love and faithful assistance in times of personal darkness.

It was also the Pretenders‘ last successful single in North America.

After writing the ballad, Hynde admitted to feeling slightly disgusted.

When I did that song, I thought, Urgh this is s–t. But then I played it for a couple of girls who weren’t in the business and by the end of it they were both in tears. I said, OK, put it out.”

This performance is extremely powerful. With a choir and full orchestra behind her gently gliding her through this emotional performance- it’sa bsolutely beautiful.

 

Stand by You facts!

  • This was written based on the piano.
  • Ben E. King’s song “Stand By Me” was a big influence on this.

+I’ll Stand by You lyrics below+

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
