My wife actually called the radio station in the 90s and dedicated this song to me and the DJ let her say her dedication over the air waves. She was all choked up with her endearments. We recorded this on cassette tape.
hopppy54 My Mom Loves all 8 IRISH kids. Some of us got crazy with Alcohol. Us kids feel bad Parents sent all of us to Catholic Schools. We went to 70s concerts. In grade school the girls loved our Freckles on our face. 1 Brother didn't want to go to school his entire face was covered with Freckeles. I don't why us kids started drinking our parents didn't drink that much. Mom side gave us kids 16 first cousins. IRISH Familys are known for having lots of kids. Not always fun being IRISH people think all IRISH are Drunks & they make fun of REDHEADS. Us IRISH are Different born with Red Hair. Were not born with Freckles we get them from the Sun. Makes sense IRISH Skin burns easily in the sun. Us IRISH are funny we have funny sayings, AN IRISH GIRL MAKES A GREAT DRINKING BUDDY FOR US GUYS. IM THE IRISH GIRL YOUR MOTHER WARNED YOU ABOUT. YOU DONT SCARE ME I WAS RAISED BY AN IRISH MOTHER. IM A LEPRECHAUN I DONT DATE HUMANS. KISS ME IM IRISH NO REALLY IM IRISH. EVERYBODY LOVES AN IRISH GIRL REDHEAD OR NOT. IF YOU ARE A SMALL IRISH PERSON WE CALL YOU A LEPRECHAUN. HEY us IRISH have our IRISH DANCING It does suck most IRISH songs are about Drinking. Hey sorry about all IRISH Stuff IM JUST A PROUD IRISH AMERICAN. OUR FAMILY was bummed O'GRADY name was more English than IRISH. So IRISH 1 Brother named PATRICK. It sucks Im 58 & still drinking Beer. Good news all 8 of us are still Alive. Crazy drinking beer for 30 years. Im 58 & still drinking beer listing to songs from those 70s concerts. Cool I did get to see David Cassidy from Partridge Family TV Show.
You're talking utter shit! You're experience ain't everybody's experience lol try saying her love was unconditional when you go through foster care you know fuck all
This song was playing at my mom's funeral when I was 9. I miss you more every day mom. I'm know 13 and I don't know how I've gotten this far without you mom.LOVE YOU RIP💗💓💓
Jack Storm I know you posted this a while ago but I lost my mom when I was 10 and I’m not 13. i wanted to say if you ever need to talk to someone about it just ask me and I can give you my snap/ twitter/ instagram
My son Dean passed 3 months ago very suddenly, so heartbroken his passing came out of the blue. First song that came through my mind to play at his funeral was Stand By You . Will love you forever son 💙
I too lost my son 38 yrs old to Covid I’m soooo sorry Life is awful without my precious Brian my beautiful son god I wish he was here 😢 My precious Brian :((
This art of music will last for eternity. Thank you Pretenders, leadsinger Chrissie Hynde. Your voice, the composition did lead me in life. MUSIC is MY RELIGION. Thank you a million times.
I think in God saying these words to us... Sometimes we take the wrong path but if we return to Him, He is always there to help us with arms wide open. We need to call Him: "Jesus".
To my son Joshua. I know you're going through a really rough time and feel like you're being attacked from every side. I'm here. Remember, you've my biggest, best blessing. Love, momma.
I sat my daughter down and made her listen to this she was in tears because I raised her myself with out her mom who gave me all the rights to this day my daughter listens to it and calls me and tells me that I am a great dad
I dedicate this song to my dear brother who passed away from drugs after a long hard battle to fight addiction. There was nothing I would not have done for him to help him overcome his demons.
I dedicate this song to my best friend, hazel, who died on May 31st, 2019 at 2:05pm from complications of her surgery. I hope your in heaven doing what you truly loved, being there for people. Every word of this song is what I would sing to you if I could see you one last time. I love you so much ❤️
The Holy Spirit just put this song on my heart and I heard it playing in my head I haven't heard it in so many years. This is what Jesus is saying to us!!! He is Sooo faithful;!!❤❤❤
I dedicate this song to my loving, faithful dog Baxter, 14 years of age, border collie cross golden retriever. He has just been diagnosed with cancer so I am standing by him until the end.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dog OSO last year. It will be a year exactly this 5th of May. It wasnt cancer. I honestly don't know what he had. He was old and his hind legs gave out. He also died in my arms. I felt so guilty and I still do. I play in the arms of an Angel and I dedicate that song to him. It's Soo sad
I know the feeling my mom died 11 years ago and it just tears me up I miss her God bless you Mom God bless the parents of these people that passed away and the people that loved them but just don't ever forget their love is always in our hearts God bless each and every one of y'all
Years after my mom passed away from cancer, she saved my life at least 2 times in traffic. The second time was in heavy traffic, so she saved other lives as well. 2 psychic persons told me my mom hangs around me a lot. Thanks for STANDING BY ME, MOM. when i buy my first ship I'm naming it after my mom.
This is my husband speaking through my Granddaughter!!! He has always been very supportive and protective of me through the years! He never changed....He was always Loving! Faithful! Patient and Never judged me or anyone. God indeed takes the good ones! I love you, Hon! who i often addressed as DAD!!! ❣❣
I totally agree with you -- what an inspiring song for all ages. I need to listen to it when I am confused about the purpose of life. What a great song and only the Pretenders can do it right! Alan
I recall when this came out and It still brings tears to my eyes, what a beautiful song, all these years later and I still listen to it. Simply brilliant !
Wow, it's been so long since I heard this song. Such a beautiful song too. My favorite part is when she says "Nothing you'll confess, could make me love you less." I got chills when I heard that part. The ASPCA commercial was playing this song and I just had to look it up and listen to the original in it's entirety. Oh my gosh, what an amazingly beautiful song.
No one thought my husband and I would make it cuz we were biracial couple and he was my best friend to he stood by me and helped me get clean an loved me for me we had a beautiful marriage fooled everyone! But after a beautiful 12yrs he passed from an aneurysm and the song he would say every word of this song to me and he didn't even know the song so what I hear it and I'm having a bad day I listen to it and it'll be like him telling me he stands by me and won't let nobody hurt me! I love you Tony!👼💖👼💖👼
Patricia Allen I'm very sorry to hear about your loss, you have my condolences. I can tell you both had such a wonderful married life, don't worry you'll be reunited soon :)
To my father that learned me to fight for values and not desert in life for my well being but to fight for Love and stand by to the Ones that are in need.
I have stood by a lot of people in my life. Went out of my way to reach out to them, to be with them. I have done my part and continue to do so even in my own darkest hour and to the lowest point in my life. I only wish to find that person to stand by me...this time...with me!! Much love!!
My mom showed me this a long time ago and said this is our song and yesterday she passed away and I was just thinking about this song trying to find it and I finally found it
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss for your loving mother. Just know that she is in a better place and that she'll always be in your heart standing right beside you with everything that you do! Stay strong and just remember to continue to live on with happiness in your soul. Your mother will always live on through you!
Austin Nicholas She would want you to know right now that she is still standing by you and she loves you so much whatever you have been going through your mom is with you please don’t ever forget that so much love to you
This was my song to my daughter. I would sing it to her all the time and said this is my song for you. She would always roll her eyes and say stop it you're so corny. Well she died at 19 years old. Not too long after I was in the grocery store and this song which you never hear and I have never heard again played on store muzak played. I believe it became her song for me.
This song's lyrics helps me keep my chin up when I'm feeling down, like now. Even though my family may not be there for me emotionally, this song reminds me there's someone out there who wouldn't mind being that emotional soulmate... just haven't found that person yet.
" You do not walk alone. God’s angels hover near and all about. His Love surrounds you, and of this be sure; that I will never leave you comfortless" A Course in Miracles
What makes this song so special is everyone can relate to the message of the song no matter who you are, we as humans have such a special connection....so special that most people don't either realize yet or unfortunately never will.
"Nothing you confess, could make me love you less." - My favorite line. (Probably yours, too.) :) Rock ON, Chrissie--one of the most underrated great voices in rock.
@@ingridhofeditz8259 dumb idiots. Go to a children's cancer ward where the dying, suffering children are and tell me where your shit "god" is in their lives.
@@NicenessWins You are ignorant. We inherited our fallen condition from our first parents, just as children inherit eye color, tendency to fatness, thinness, certain diseases, etc...One of my dear little ones died at age 5 after suffering for two years with leukemia. She knew the purpose of it, she knew to offer it up for her family and she knew where, just exactly, she was going and she was anxious to get there. She was blind but she could see her guardian angel. People like you would deprive everyone of eternal bliss just because you in your miserable condition can't love God. Poor little thing.
@@PraytheRosaryEveryDay Who the fuck do you know that died and survived to tell you about this "eternal bliss"? 🤣 You are one of many idiotic, easily led sheep. "God is gonna take care of my little girl"...yea after she lives for a few years with leukemia before the age of 5, SMH (which is horrible and I'm sorry you went thru that). But it's all part of "his" plan, right?
If we're loved and cherished and someone stands by us like you did for your beautiful child, then our life was worth living. I know she's with you, not in the way you would like, but in spirit. The bond is never broken. I send you lots of healing thoughts.
Every-time I see the public service TV ad utilizing this song for horribly abused animals I tear-up. I know this song means so much to so many groups of people, and individuals, but for the visuals of the hurting animals, it's perfect. I hope it was successful in raising funds. (I guess it must have been since they keep using it.) Think of all the hurting people (and animals) of the world whenever you hear this beautiful song, perfectly sung and produced.
Jimmy Joaquin I always liked that saying ( Friends are the Siblings GOD forgot to give US ) Had lots of friends in grade school, the girls told me my IRISH Freckles were cute on my Face, made lots of friends playing Little League Sports. I was bummed couldnt play High School Football I only grew to 5'6" Tall. Surprised I got Girlfriends, women like tall men. Also surprised how much beer I could drink being so small. Felt bad for Mom 8 kids all boys. IRISH Familys are known for having lots of kids. Forgot we were 70s kids, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family. I wonder why they call them REDHEADS when its an ORANGE Color. It sucks even today REDHEADS get Bullied. In case you didnt know its not just IRISH & SCOTTISH born with Red Hair & Freckles
Just woke up with this song playing in my head , but couldn’t recall all the lyrics , hadn’t heard this song for many many years , but I heard Son why u look so sad , to a point that it kept going on in my head which is often how god speaks to me , so I looked song up , and here I am to tell u that after watching the song and lyrics it’s deff a reminded from Daddy / abba that he will stand by me / us , no matter what and won’t let anything happen to us !! Even in our darkest hr , he encourges us to bring it to him , even if we are mad , he will not be surprised or change his love for us !! There is nothing u can do to make god love u less ! Trust him , talk to him , go to him even if u don’t think it’s worth it or what ever is tryna stop u from going to him , don’t let it hold u !! Yes he is that good , and Jesus is the one that allows this to happen 🙏❤️✝️👊
I had a friend once tell me that when her very close aunt died she listened to this song and at that moment realized God was singing to her. That changed the way I hear this song forever and I love it. To me, when I feel at my lowest and I need support, I listen to it to hear God speaking to me. Whether it's the voice of a friend, a loved one, you to someone else, or God, this song says it all.
In Jesus name , I sing this song everytime I feel God is giving me strength! edit:Thankyou for all the likes and ua kind words! The lyrics : When the night falls on you , you dnt knw what to do , Nothing you confess could make me love you less ! I ll stand by you resonates everything that Lord Jesus worship makes me feel and the strength that he gives me during times of despair jst like a parent , good friend , a confidante , a therapist! I love you Jesus yesu massiah! Amen
Don’t know what’s more powerful, if the song itself, that I’ve been silently dedicating to my daughter every day, or all the heartfelt comments I’ve read here so far. This song has touched so many lives. ❤
This always reminds me of My mamá whenever i would get frustrated growing up. She always knew what to Say to cheer me up. She is a stern and hardworking woman with a bit of a temper but i wouldnt have it any other way 😊
Listening to this in 2021. I heard it playing on the radio the other day, and have been thinking about all of us helping each other get through day by day. We've got this❤😊
I dedicate this song to my Dad , I'm Feeling the loss , it's one of the most toughest things that I ever dealt with in my dads passing , miss him so much and a piece of me is gone , he was my idol as I was everything in the world to him as his first Son , and can remember as far as back as 6 years old and what me and my dad had with each other a LOV and bonding that was unseperable , and that's all I had as a kid someone to stand by me as I did of him , I'm starting to feel the hurt now , and just so out of sync , I know I'm trying to hide it but inside of me my heart is broken , like I said before I thought my Mom and Dad would live forever , but to come to the realization of life and this is most evident , but I'm praying and asking the good lord to help me through this all and show me the way .
Luis Castellanos I get where your coming from. I Lost my Dad about 2 years ago from Parkinson's. He was the best Dad a son could ask for. We did a lot together. A big piece of me died with him. I share in your pain. I hope to see him on the other side when my time comes. Oh so so sad a day. D.A
Luis Castellanos David Ahlers Jr here again. Don't forget the memories of your times together. That has helped me. I some times feel his presence out of the blue. He was and is still is such a big part of who I am that his memory will stay alive through me and how I Live my Life. I bet they are in heaven waiting for us in our due time. Praise the Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with you. D.A
I played this to my son and daughter in the womb and sang it to them in their cribs. I still feel this for them. They are 33 and 26. My daughter (27) just found out she is pregnant, so I guess I'll dust this one off again!
May have been my niece during her pregnancy-I've had brain radiation which makes my memory faulty. I know she only played classical and I tried to get her to use more contemporary music too. My mom thought it was silly. My daughter just ordered baby music from the Cure & a punk rock CD (in addition to classical). But I do still sing it to them now and did at my daughter's wedding.
No worries :) I just wasn't sure if there was a different version by another artist. Keep singing to your grandchildren, nieces and nephews Tessie...music is good for the soul at any age. Take care
I agree-it's never too soon for children to learn the joys of all kinds of music. I think I was mixing up the Pretenders and Blondie. I believe the first song my daughter danced to and sang was Call Me or maybe Hanging on the Telephone. Or Bach. Spread the love of music and literature, film and all the arts whenever you can. It's a joy nobody can take away. Glad to hear from a kindred soul. You take care as well.
this song came out in 1994 you could not have sang it to them in the womb id there now in there thirties thats not mathematically right I am 31 I was born in 1982 seriously mis calculation on your part
When my dad passed away 1/14/2020. I was driving to see him before they got to take him out of the house this song played while I was driving I know now he’ll be standing by us in the afterlife.
I've known this song since I was about 6years old....brings back memories of my mom and I back in the day....I'm thankful to still have her her....it's our song!!
this reminds me of my parents. The day my brother died they held my hand and hugged me all the time. I remember how they'd say he will be OK and I would always listen.
Chrisie Hynde has an amazing voice, and the pretenders have produced some incredible songs over the years. This is, IMO, the best. Totally stunning. And (as others have said) the message of unconditional love is powerful, and so important.
My Boxer Bo got sick took him to the vet found he had cancer. He stood by me in my darkest hours then he left this earth but this song keeps my Bo with me..he was so strong in his end days♡♡
To my aunt who passed away 6 months ago. I will always. Stand by you my best friend. You always had my back. I will always love you. Thank you for everything you have done for me.
@@TheHoopyscoopy people can be very fickle. If they have no use for you that will befit them they will move on. But you also need to look at yourself and wonder if anything you are doing is turning them away. If there's nothing, then just continue the way you are, with true loving kindness in your heart (practice the Loving Kindness meditation), you will attract the right people into your life.
Good answer. I'm in California so I'm better off without these people until I relocate. There's something wrong here in "the golden state." The dehumanizing cell phone addiction and mindless banter here is disturbing.
To my husband suffering from a mental health concern and so much more; separated from me, in hospital, waiting patiently to come home. I love you Jim Jack. We will be ok. I promise.
My girlfriend/best friend has been going through some rough times on her end with her family. She means so much to me, and I can’t afford to lose her. I stand by her even in her darkest hours.
This song will always be me and my sons song...he has had so many years of drug abuse and i still pray the lord will bring him out of this prison he is in. I love you always and forever my son no matter what
My boyfriend just sent me the song and it's exactly what I needed right now, because I felt so lonely. We are in a long distance relationship and even though we don't see each other much, he is always there for me and doing everything to make things easier. Such an angel and good heart I'll love him to death
Such a beautiful voice. This song was done on Glee, sunng by the powerful voice or Amber Riley (who played Mecedes Jones) when they did a tribute to Corey after his shocking death from an overdose. Another rendition of this incrediblly fabulous song. I’m moved whenever I hear it. Powerful Words! Thank you for posting. 🌹
I hope you and Josiah are doing ok, especially with this whole lockdown thing. I have autism so I know how difficult it can be. Best of luck to you and Josiah.
This song was playing on my moms radio when my aunt passed away. My aunt passed away may 5 th 2021. I will always stand by you. My aunt was like a 2nd mom to my sister and me. We miss her deeply. Our hearts are broken.
I love you honey I'll always have your back .Thank you for spreading love and light and taking the time to explain Gods word to us .I was lost but now I'm found had kind of given up on going to church but you revived my spirit .I love you ...❤❤❤❤🎉😊
In your times of deep despair,do u feel there is no hope?Do you feel u can not cope?Do you wish u had a friend? Yes,there is some1 who really cares and everything's gonna be all right...'coz I'll stand by you…
This is me n my best friend Stephanie Cullen song. I met her when she was 2 n I was 4 now we're 35-33 n have been through pain happiness heart ache loved ones passing n addiction. And we're going strong still. Love you friend
This song was released when I was a young teen, and it makes me think about my sons everytime I hear it. I want them to understand that I will always be here standing beside them no matter what hand life deals them. I wasn't afforded a very good chilhood and both of my parents were alcoholics, so I really went down a dark path and became a pregnant teen. But, I became a great parent who always put my kids before anything, or anyone else. I just hope they remember that when I'm gone.
I know this song from my parent, every day they play this song in the morning. Now, I sing this song for my child as a lullaby. I love the meaning of this song, it's very touching. sometimes I get touched when singing it
…Nothing you confess could make me love you less.
One of the best lines ever.
So true
👍❤
😌💕
What if you both got married, had a child, and they confessed to you they were raping your child for years
Very comforting...
To my wonderful husband of 54 years who died almost 2 years ago--you sent this song into my head so I would know you're always with me. I love you. 😢
He is absolutely with you. And he's waiting for you up there.
🌹❤️
that is an awesome why to think
❤
My wife actually called the radio station in the 90s and dedicated this song to me and the DJ let her say her dedication over the air waves. She was all choked up with her endearments. We recorded this on cassette tape.
I had my sweet bride send this to me after she passed away, it's like a hymn to me, every single word of it.
🤗👍👍💚
To whoever is listening to this song now, wherever you are.... Sending you love, peace, healing and all good wishes. May your life be good
❤❤❤ amen
Right back at you ❤from South Africa
Great message for all of Humanity…hang in there a little longer, the shift is coming soon. God stands by you.
This just made me cry
Gracias
My son had many personal challenges growing up, this was always my song to him. RIP my dear son!
So sorry
I extend my condolences for your loss, I understand how you must feel

This is my husband speaking through my Granddaughter!!! He has always been very supportive and protective of me through the years! He never changed....He was always Loving! Faithful! Patient and Never judged me or anyone. God indeed takes the good ones! I love you, Hon! who i often addressed as DAD!!! ❣❣
This might as well be one of the greatest songs I have ever heard.
same
I totally agree with you -- what an inspiring song for all ages. I need to listen to it when I am confused about the purpose of life. What a great song and only the Pretenders can do it right!
Alan
Absolutely 💯
Yes did stand on England church that helps done understand walk around place in me son love me and that right to give me hope
That's true
I recall when this came out and It still brings tears to my eyes, what a beautiful song, all these years later and I still listen to it. Simply brilliant !
Wow, it's been so long since I heard this song. Such a beautiful song too. My favorite part is when she says "Nothing you'll confess, could make me love you less." I got chills when I heard that part. The ASPCA commercial was playing this song and I just had to look it up and listen to the original in it's entirety. Oh my gosh, what an amazingly beautiful song.
Go away
Go find a woman who doesn't care.
Who cares
Wow. No words. This song is one of my treasures. I can feel a very deep emotion, a whisper in my soul.
No one thought my husband and I would make it cuz we were biracial couple and he was my best friend to he stood by me and helped me get clean an loved me for me we had a beautiful marriage fooled everyone! But after a beautiful 12yrs he passed from an aneurysm and the song he would say every word of this song to me and he didn't even know the song so what I hear it and I'm having a bad day I listen to it and it'll be like him telling me he stands by me and won't let nobody hurt me! I love you Tony!👼💖👼💖👼
Do not forget, you will see him again and forever. Sorry for your loss. God bless you
Patricia Allen I'm very sorry to hear about your loss, you have my condolences. I can tell you both had such a wonderful married life, don't worry you'll be reunited soon :)
Patricia Baron thank you for your encouraging words!💖👼
Cath Carson thank you i no we will see eachother some day but im going threw hard times and i miss him so much! 💖👼
Jesús can help you. God made possible the impossible for us. You will be fine; believe it. Gd bless you
One of my all-time favorites from The Pretenders. Outstanding lyrics.
To my father that learned me to fight for values and not desert in life for my well being but to fight for Love and stand by to the Ones that are in need.
This is the duty/promise of every parent to their child.
Or should be
In my daughters sr year yearbook I wrote, "when words fail, music speaks." Then the lyrics to this song.
I have stood by a lot of people in my life. Went out of my way to reach out to them, to be with them. I have done my part and continue to do so even in my own darkest hour and to the lowest point in my life. I only wish to find that person to stand by me...this time...with me!! Much love!!
My mom showed me this a long time ago and said this is our song and yesterday she passed away and I was just thinking about this song trying to find it and I finally found it
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss for your loving mother. Just know that she is in a better place and that she'll always be in your heart standing right beside you with everything that you do! Stay strong and just remember to continue to live on with happiness in your soul. Your mother will always live on through you!
😞
Austin Nicholas She would want you to know right now that she is still standing by you and she loves you so much whatever you have been going through your mom is with you please don’t ever forget that so much love to you
This was also my mother song for me
This was my song to my daughter. I would sing it to her all the time and said this is my song for you. She would always roll her eyes and say stop it you're so corny. Well she died at 19 years old. Not too long after I was in the grocery store and this song which you never hear and I have never heard again played on store muzak played. I believe it became her song for me.
I play this song for my children all the time. Unconditional love ❤️
I’ve a great heart for this song 🎶.
How are you doing chantel?
This song's lyrics helps me keep my chin up when I'm feeling down, like now. Even though my family may not be there for me emotionally, this song reminds me there's someone out there who wouldn't mind being that emotional soulmate... just haven't found that person yet.
Praying🙏
🙏🙏🙏
You and me both. You'll have to find a new family. I didn't want to leave my toxic one but I did and it's getting better.
Hang in there! Blessings to you.
Like me you have relatives not family.
I think of Jesus himself when I hear this song. Very comforting.
THAT'S A FUNNY LIE... YOU APPEARING WITH JESUS. IT WAS NEVER PROCESSED NOR INSTATED. SORRY. 👸🤴👰🤵 QUEEN MARY ISABELLA
😒
Yea🥰😘😘😘
Super 19kh I do to
" You do not walk alone. God’s angels hover near and all about. His Love surrounds you, and of this be sure; that I will never leave you comfortless" A Course in Miracles
What makes this song so special is everyone can relate to the message of the song no matter who you are, we as humans have such a special connection....so special that most people don't either realize yet or unfortunately never will.
This is such a beautiful song it could even make you cry its like this song goes into your very soul and tells you what it means
I'm living that way for all of you ❤
Big Mouth Season 4 Episode 3 Poop Madness Brought Me Here.💞❤🧡💛💚💙💜

God bless
So sorry for your loss.
thank you
"Nothing you confess, could make me love you less." - My favorite line. (Probably yours, too.) :)
Rock ON, Chrissie--one of the most underrated great voices in rock.
Could be taken 2 ways. The obvious + no such thing as below zero love.
This song let me lift myself up when i feeling down. Thank you so much again
Why does this song always makes me cry!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
Because it brings hope in the dark times and you relate to it., just like most people
Did you find the answer? It used to make me cry too but not anymore 😊
Big Mouth Season 4 Poop Madness Anyone?
Me too..always!! 😔❤️❤️
It makes me cry too
I dedicate this to my gift from God.....MY beautiful daughter Marcella. Mom will always stand by you. No matter WHAT!!!!!!!! I love you ❤
Amen I feel god threw a lot if contempary music also he's a never failing always prevailing god almighty
@@ingridhofeditz8259 dumb idiots. Go to a children's cancer ward where the dying, suffering children are and tell me where your shit "god" is in their lives.
Beautiful of you
@@NicenessWins You are ignorant. We inherited our fallen condition from our first parents, just as children inherit eye color, tendency to fatness, thinness, certain diseases, etc...One of my dear little ones died at age 5 after suffering for two years with leukemia. She knew the purpose of it, she knew to offer it up for her family and she knew where, just exactly, she was going and she was anxious to get there. She was blind but she could see her guardian angel.
People like you would deprive everyone of eternal bliss just because you in your miserable condition can't love God. Poor little thing.
@@PraytheRosaryEveryDay Who the fuck do you know that died and survived to tell you about this "eternal bliss"? 🤣 You are one of many idiotic, easily led sheep.
"God is gonna take care of my little girl"...yea after she lives for a few years with leukemia before the age of 5, SMH (which is horrible and I'm sorry you went thru that). But it's all part of "his" plan, right?
To my sweet daughter in heaven I stood by you, and I will stand by you all my life. You meant everything to me. Love, Mom...
If we're loved and cherished and someone stands by us like you did for your beautiful child, then our life was worth living. I know she's with you, not in the way you would like, but in spirit. The bond is never broken. I send you lots of healing thoughts.
@@josephinelarosa5173, Thank you for the kind words, and may God bless you....
You're so welcome. You're in my prayers.
Sharon my angel I feel for u I've lost my beautifu daughter and son less than yr half apart xx
Your comment brought tears to my eyes. I'm so very sorry for your loss. She is standing by you now, as your guardian angel. 👼
I love Chrissie and The Pretenders, this is one of my favorites of theirs. So sincere and tender, just a sweet song all around.😊
Every-time I see the public service TV ad utilizing this song for horribly abused animals I tear-up. I know this song means so much to so many groups of people, and individuals, but for the visuals of the hurting animals, it's perfect. I hope it was successful in raising funds. (I guess it must have been since they keep using it.) Think of all the hurting people (and animals) of the world whenever you hear this beautiful song, perfectly sung and produced.
One of my favorite bands and song of all times...Christie you will always rock in my book!!
Friendship is special you should always treasure them.
Jimmy Joaquin I always liked that saying ( Friends are the Siblings GOD forgot to give US ) Had lots of friends in grade school, the girls told me my IRISH Freckles were cute on my Face, made lots of friends playing Little League Sports. I was bummed couldnt play High School Football I only grew to 5'6" Tall. Surprised I got Girlfriends, women like tall men. Also surprised how much beer I could drink being so small. Felt bad for Mom 8 kids all boys. IRISH Familys are known for having lots of kids. Forgot we were 70s kids, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family. I wonder why they call them REDHEADS when its an ORANGE Color. It sucks even today REDHEADS get Bullied. In case you didnt know its not just IRISH & SCOTTISH born with Red Hair & Freckles
Your words are beautiful
my best discovery in UA-cam
Just woke up with this song playing in my head , but couldn’t recall all the lyrics , hadn’t heard this song for many many years , but I heard Son why u look so sad , to a point that it kept going on in my head which is often how god speaks to me , so I looked song up , and here I am to tell u that after watching the song and lyrics it’s deff a reminded from Daddy / abba that he will stand by me / us , no matter what and won’t let anything happen to us !! Even in our darkest hr , he encourges us to bring it to him , even if we are mad , he will not be surprised or change his love for us !! There is nothing u can do to make god love u less ! Trust him , talk to him , go to him even if u don’t think it’s worth it or what ever is tryna stop u from going to him , don’t let it hold u !! Yes he is that good , and Jesus is the one that allows this to happen 🙏❤️✝️👊
Having watched Miss Grand International 2021, I came here
Remember, TO KEEP THE FAITH.
We are ALWAYS LOVED and NEVER ALONE.
Thinking about ypu
This song ....is a love song...but it's a love song that can apply to anyone in your life...thank you pretenders and chrissy ♥️
I had a friend once tell me that when her very close aunt died she listened to this song and at that moment realized God was singing to her. That changed the way I hear this song forever and I love it. To me, when I feel at my lowest and I need support, I listen to it to hear God speaking to me. Whether it's the voice of a friend, a loved one, you to someone else, or God, this song says it all.
In Jesus name , I sing this song everytime I feel God is giving me strength! edit:Thankyou for all the likes and ua kind words! The lyrics : When the night falls on you , you dnt knw what to do , Nothing you confess could make me love you less ! I ll stand by you resonates everything that Lord Jesus worship makes me feel and the strength that he gives me during times of despair jst like a parent , good friend , a confidante , a therapist! I love you Jesus yesu massiah! Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen 🙏🏼
Amen
God or Jesus. Can't have it both ways. Jesus is not God and God is not Jesus.
Don’t know what’s more powerful, if the song itself, that I’ve been silently dedicating to my daughter every day, or all the heartfelt comments I’ve read here so far. This song has touched so many lives. ❤
To my first born son, I get it! Beautiful for your daughter!
Merveilleuse voix de Chrissie Hynde , comme une promesse que l'on tient ,elle nous tend la main et réchauffe le coeur .TU NE SERAS PAS SEUL"
Amen
This always reminds me of My mamá whenever i would get frustrated growing up. She always knew what to Say to cheer me up. She is a stern and hardworking woman with a bit of a temper but i wouldnt have it any other way 😊
Amazingly beautiful song! Brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear it.
Listening to this in 2021. I heard it playing on the radio the other day, and have been thinking about all of us helping each other get through day by day. We've got this❤😊
I dedicate this song to my Dad , I'm Feeling the loss , it's one of the most toughest things that I ever dealt with in my dads passing , miss him so much and a piece of me is gone , he was my idol as I was everything in the world to him as his first Son , and can remember as far as back as 6 years old and what me and my dad had with each other a LOV and bonding that was unseperable , and that's all I had as a kid someone to stand by me as I did of him , I'm starting to feel the hurt now , and just so out of sync , I know I'm trying to hide it but inside of me my heart is broken , like I said before I thought my Mom and Dad would live forever , but to come to the realization of life and this is most evident , but I'm praying and asking the good lord to help me through this all and show me the way .
Luis Castellanos
I get where your coming from. I Lost my Dad about 2 years ago from Parkinson's. He was the best Dad a son could ask for. We did a lot together. A big piece of me died with him. I share in your pain. I hope to see him on the other side when my time comes. Oh so so sad a day. D.A
Luis Castellanos
David Ahlers Jr here again. Don't forget the memories of your times together. That has helped me. I some times feel his presence out of the blue. He was and is still is such a big part of who I am that his memory will stay alive through me and how I Live my Life. I bet they are in heaven waiting for us in our due time. Praise the Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with you. D.A
Im sorry, I have the same bond with my dad I hope nothing ever will happen to him
I dedicate this song to
My dad who passed away 3 days Ago.
Love you daddy..miss you..

This whole comment section are wholesome. All these stories made me in tears. I wish you all have a great day ahead. This is how music supposed to be.
I played this to my son and daughter in the womb and sang it to them in their cribs. I still feel this for them. They are 33 and 26. My daughter (27) just found out she is pregnant, so I guess I'll dust this one off again!
ummm how's that possible? The song was released by the Pretenders in 1994 did someone else sing this song before that?
May have been my niece during her pregnancy-I've had brain radiation which makes my memory faulty. I know she only played classical and I tried to get her to use more contemporary music too. My mom thought it was silly. My daughter just ordered baby music from the Cure & a punk rock CD (in addition to classical). But I do still sing it to them now and did at my daughter's wedding.
No worries :) I just wasn't sure if there was a different version by another artist. Keep singing to your grandchildren, nieces and nephews Tessie...music is good for the soul at any age. Take care
I agree-it's never too soon for children to learn the joys of all kinds of music. I think I was mixing up the Pretenders and Blondie. I believe the first song my daughter danced to and sang was Call Me or maybe Hanging on the Telephone. Or Bach. Spread the love of music and literature, film and all the arts whenever you can. It's a joy nobody can take away. Glad to hear from a kindred soul. You take care as well.
this song came out in 1994 you could not have sang it to them in the womb id there now in there thirties thats not mathematically right I am 31 I was born in 1982 seriously mis calculation on your part
When my dad passed away 1/14/2020. I was driving to see him before they got to take him out of the house this song played while I was driving I know now he’ll be standing by us in the afterlife.
Atleast he experienced 2020 🙏🏾rip
I’m so sorry for your loss🙏RIP
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm very sorry for your loss.
Thank you all
I've known this song since I was about 6years old....brings back memories of my mom and I back in the day....I'm thankful to still have her her....it's our song!!
I hurt my son today..I disappointed him and caused him pain. There is no worse feeling in the world like knowing you've let your child down.
😢❤😢
My mom passed away last year and she love this song
When growing up my mom made me love this
this reminds me of my parents. The day my brother died they held my hand and hugged me all the time.
I remember how they'd say he will be OK and I would always listen.
This hits different when there is someone that supports you like no other
The Pretenders told the world "I'll Stand By You" 30 years ago. They still do and they always will. Truly a phenomenal band.
Every couple should really listen to this song for each other's heart!!!
I use sing this to my cat Trixie while she was sick with cancer... I love you Trixie.. Rest In Peace baby girl 💙
So sorry you lost Trixie 🌹
Oh man our dog 🐕 😢 💔 too good 💡
But i don't like cat
My Dad just passed and this was our song. I hope all is well with you. ❤
Chrisie Hynde has an amazing voice, and the pretenders have produced some incredible songs over the years.
This is, IMO, the best. Totally stunning. And (as others have said) the message of unconditional love is powerful, and so important.
My Boxer Bo got sick took him to the vet found he had cancer. He stood by me in my darkest hours then he left this earth but this song keeps my Bo with me..he was so strong in his end days♡♡
kathy watson ;-; This nearly made me cry god bless. *hug*
Aww!
So sorry we also lost our beautiful little girl Blacky a dog recently . It's so so painful . Be strong for Bo
To my daughter. I dedicated this song to her when she was 1 day old and I still sing this to her 15 years later.. ❤
Good mom Carrie Anne
Beautiful. Our baby girls will become teens, young adults, adults, but nothing is like a mother's love for them.
What a lovely mama
words in a song come to life when you need to hear them, in this case.... a godsend. thank you
To my aunt who passed away 6 months ago. I will always. Stand by you my best friend. You always had my back. I will always love you. Thank you for everything you have done for me.
If you find someone who stands by you through all of your battles, never gives up on you and has your back, this is the one. Don't let her slip away!
Or him♡
Everyone I stand by turns on me so I'm alone until I meet someone that won't turn. Good plan, huh?
Tuffy Badass calm yourself
@@TheHoopyscoopy people can be very fickle. If they have no use for you that will befit them they will move on. But you also need to look at yourself and wonder if anything you are doing is turning them away. If there's nothing, then just continue the way you are, with true loving kindness in your heart (practice the Loving Kindness meditation), you will attract the right people into your life.
Good answer. I'm in California so I'm better off without these people until I relocate. There's something wrong here in "the golden state." The dehumanizing cell phone addiction and mindless banter here is disturbing.
To my husband suffering from a mental health concern and so much more; separated from me, in hospital, waiting patiently to come home. I love you Jim Jack. We will be ok. I promise.
Trina Cameron is he ok now 😀😃💍
K
Prayers sent 🙏🙏🙏
Trina Cameron how is he now?
Then please do not leave him alone.you sould not leave him at any condition. Appreciate your love
My girlfriend/best friend has been going through some rough times on her end with her family. She means so much to me, and I can’t afford to lose her. I stand by her even in her darkest hours.
This song will always be me and my sons song...he has had so many years of drug abuse and i still pray the lord will bring him out of this prison he is in. I love you always and forever my son no matter what
Every man needs a mother sometimes and the adorable voice in this beautiful song brings that out.
He took all the mommy out of me. He said he'd get along great w/ my kid bc hes got jokes. I legit accidently call him by my daughter & pets names.
My boyfriend just sent me the song and it's exactly what I needed right now, because I felt so lonely. We are in a long distance relationship and even though we don't see each other much, he is always there for me and doing everything to make things easier. Such an angel and good heart I'll love him to death
This song kills me everytime I listen 😢
Perfect song for a funeral. One of my grandmas died when I was 7 months old. Miss you every day, Grandma. RIP Grandma.
Such a beautiful voice. This song was done on Glee, sunng by the powerful voice or Amber Riley (who played Mecedes Jones) when they did a tribute to Corey after his shocking death from an overdose. Another rendition of this incrediblly fabulous song. I’m moved whenever I hear it. Powerful Words! Thank you for posting. 🌹
Corey sing it when Quinn find out she was pregnant too
I dedicate this song 2 my 9-year-old brother, Josiah who has autism. Luv u bro!!! 💟💟💟
I hope you and Josiah are doing ok, especially with this whole lockdown thing.
I have autism so I know how difficult it can be. Best of luck to you and Josiah.
This song was playing on my moms radio when my aunt passed away. My aunt passed away may 5 th 2021. I will always stand by you. My aunt was like a 2nd mom to my sister and me. We miss her deeply. Our hearts are broken.
I love you honey I'll always have your back .Thank you for spreading love and light and taking the time to explain Gods word to us .I was lost but now I'm found had kind of given up on going to church but you revived my spirit .I love you ...❤❤❤❤🎉😊
I have a new outlook on life. this is how I feel about God. I know your always there for me. :)
Brings back memories, bloody wicked song love it still listening 2019 reminds me of when I was younger
This song makes me think of my grandmother who passed away and my parents. Almost cried won't let no body hurt you I'll stand by you
The most beautiful lyrics Ive ever heard. Thank you Chrissy, youre fabulous
In your times of deep despair,do u feel there is no hope?Do you feel u can not cope?Do you wish u had a friend?

This is me n my best friend Stephanie Cullen song. I met her when she was 2 n I was 4 now we're 35-33 n have been through pain happiness heart ache loved ones passing n addiction. And we're going strong still. Love you friend
This song was released when I was a young teen, and it makes me think about my sons everytime I hear it. I want them to understand that I will always be here standing beside them no matter what hand life deals them. I wasn't afforded a very good chilhood and both of my parents were alcoholics, so I really went down a dark path and became a pregnant teen. But, I became a great parent who always put my kids before anything, or anyone else. I just hope they remember that when I'm gone.
I know this song from my parent, every day they play this song in the morning. Now, I sing this song for my child as a lullaby. I love the meaning of this song, it's very touching. sometimes I get touched when singing it
