“The Pretenders” by Joe Purdy


Another day and another artist I discovered thanks to a commercial. Back in 2009 Dawn featured Joe Purdy’s “Wash Away” in a very touching oil spill ad. Not only did the ad get me to go out and purchase the Dawn bottles with the baby duck on it but it also got me to download Joe Purdy’s music. “The Pretenders” is a song about 2 lovers who go on a little trip to the ocean and every time I hear it I think of past trips with my wife. I really love the line “What a beautiful girl/ And I know in this world/ The good ones are so hard to find.” That couldn’t be more true and every time I hear it I think of Amanda.
