(UK) On December 15 Chrissie Hynde will release a brand new version of The Pretenders festive hit 2000 Miles. Song information On this page you can find the lyrics of the song 2000 Miles, artist - The Pretenders. The Pretenders 2000 Miles (Chords) I’ve written up the live version of this one because it’s lovely (as is Mark Kozelek’s version). Today’s calendar selection seems, at first listen, to be a song about two lovers separated by a distance of 2000 rather snowy miles. Hes gone 2000 miles Its very far The snow is falling down Gets colder day by day I miss you The children will sing. The children were singing, Hell be back at Christmas time. Possibly not their finest work in terms of lyrics (‘2000 miles is very far through the snow’ – er yes, indeed it is) the song nevertheless has a heartfelt quality to it that really shines through. And these frozen and silent nights, Sometimes in a dream, You appear. 2000 MILES (Chrissie Hynde) The Pretenders Hes gone 2000 miles is very far The snow is falling down Its colder day by day I miss you The children will. Outside under the purple sky, Diamonds in the snow, Sparkle. Our hearts were singing, It felt like Christmas time. It’s also fairly simple in terms of structure, with the guitar repeating in circles in the background, but I think that’s what allows the emotion to come to the fore. It turns out that the song isn’t actually about a distant lover at all, but about the band’s guitar player, who had died in 1982 due to drug abuse. As always, Hynde’s voice steals the show and lends the song its beauty. It was released in December 1983 and charted at number 15 in the UK it has since been covered by Coldplay, Natalie Imbruglia and KT Tunstall (so not Hanson this time, who seem to have covered every other Christmas song known to man).
