FABULOUS! The Pretenders’ version of my song ‘Death Is Not Enough’!
September 5th, 2018
Here’s Chrissie Hynde performing ‘Death Is Not Enough’ at the EJ Thomas Hall in her home town, Akron, Ohio, on 26 November 2016!
Sam Gnerre wrote in the Los Angeles Daily News: “But it’s her version of British songwriter Marek Rymaszewski’s dark love song, “Death Is Not Enough”, that turns out to be the album’s most stunning track. Hynde sings the hypnotic chorus softly against an understated arrangement that creates a haunting atmosphere seemingly by accident, her voice fading away into the echo as the song ends.”
And good to see Robert Whitford posting in reaction to the video: “This should be the next single, a ballad worthy of Kid, bittersweet, its sadness is like a lament, a fallow kiss.” Nice one, Robert!
