This is not the first pairing of legends and it won’t be the last. But it sure is beautiful! Let’s Get Lost was already a ‘Pretenders only’ track on their latest album Alone. This is the new single version, featuring the unmistakable vocals of Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant. And that’s not all. They blend together wonderfully with Chrissie Hynde’s voice. Let’s Get Lost is part of a double a-side single with the rock track Gotta Wait, but this ballad is the one for me.

The video below is not the original clip by the way, but a great animation by ‘MrPopov’ I stumbled upon, which uses Let’s Get Lost as its soundtrack. I like it as much as the song itself 😉 .

• 24 Feb. ’17 – Rather disappointing update: this appears to be a Disney animation, only uploaded by this ‘MrPopov’. Just so you know…
• 1 March ’18 – Another disappointment, sorry guys: a year after this post, ‘MrPopov’ suspended his YouTube account; probably a rights thing. Therefore, I added the audio-only ‘video’
