Pretenders - Message of Love (1981 Original Video)

Sad that so many talented artists go that route.

Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the official music video of The Pretenders performing Message of Love in 1981 in honor of the sad fact that on June 16, 1982 - Pretenders guitarist James Honeyman-Scott died following sustained cocaine and heroin addiction.

Message of Love written by Chrissie Hynde
Lyrics
Now the reason we're here
As man and woman
Is to love each other
Take care of each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good, good
Like Brigitte Bardot
Now look at the people
In the streets, in the bars
We are all of us in the gutter
But some of us are looking at the stars
Look round the room
Life is unkind
We fall but we keep gettin' up
Over and over and over and over and over and over
Me and you, every night, every day
We'll be together always this way
Your eyes are blue like the heavens above
Talk to me darlin' with a message of love
Now the reason we're here
Every man, every woman
Is to help each other
Stand by each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good good
Say I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Talk to me darlin'

One classic Pretenders song certainly inspires me to post a couple more.
