Okay, can't make this leave my head, so obviously I must discuss it!

This is random...ish?

Dunno, oh well.

So, I was listening to the Pretenders sing I'll Stand By You.

I haven't a clue whether or not this has been thought of or done before

Anyway, as I listened to this song, it occurred to me how much is sounded to me like Rainbow Dash talking to Pinkie after her Pinkamena episode in Party Of One

It also occurred to me just how profoundly appropriate this is for shipping them. I've read the lyrics through, and it all sounds completely relevant.

The Pretenders - I'll Stand By You

[Verse 1]
Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side, too

[Hook]
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

[Chorus]
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

[Verse 2]
So, if you're mad, get mad!
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
And hey, what you got to hide
I get angry, too
But I'm a lot like you

[Hook]
When you're standing at the crossroads
Don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong

[Chorus]
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

[Bridge]
And when, when the night falls on you baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

[Chorus]
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

Hey, just sayin'

Anyway, as I already stated earlier, I dunno if this has been thought of, or done, or whatnot prior to this. But, I had to share it!

Also, next chapter of Of Delicate Things... and Hard Work... is coming along pretty nicely. I shouldn't think it will take a lot longer than this week to release it, but I guess we'll see whether or not life interferes too much with writing.
