![]() Show Me plays fifth on Learning to Crawl. Missing meaningful contact with men seems clearly to be emerging as a point of keen interest for Hynde through this album. Watching the Clothes looks at the making ends meet without much of a paycheck, living alone, and doing the wash after spending time as a waitress and keeping her struggle clean. I would be speculating as to whom Hynde was thinking of with this song, though the end of a close interpersonal relationship with the emotional baggage that accompanies the point leaves me to suspect something that strikes close to home for the song’s writer. Up next is Time the Avenger, again with the quartet. (From left, Ray Davies and Chrissie Hynde.) The song itself started as a song to Ray Davies and the relationship Davies and Hynde had two had, per this source, and moves into a contemplation of the meaning that the death of James Honeyman-Scott had for Hynde. Hynde mentioned in an interview quoted here that the grounding she finds in trying to anchor herself in the middle of the road is a means for staying disciplined.īack on the Chain Gang comes next with Bremner and Butler playing, back to the 1982 release of the song as a single. The song itself is a look at the transitions following the deaths of band mates Honeyman-Scott and Farndon while looking at the pending middle of life. Middle of the Road opens Learning to Crawl with the quartet that is The Pretenders fully intact. Nine of the ten songs were written by Hynde. On Learning to Crawl, The Pretenders officially were Chrissie Hynde on rhythm guitar, harmonica and lead vocals, Martin Chambers on drums, Robbie McIntosh on guitar and Malcolm Foster on bass.
