Learning to Crawl is the third studio album by the British rock band <a href="The_Pretenders" title="The Pretenders">the Pretenders</a>. It was released on 13 January 1984 by <a href="Sire_Records" title="Sire Records">Sire Records</a> after a hiatus during which band members <a href="James_Honeyman-Scott" title="James Honeyman-Scott">James Honeyman-Scott</a> and <a href="Pete_Farndon" title="Pete Farndon">Pete Farndon</a> died of drug overdoses. The album's title of "Learning to Crawl" was given in honour of <a href="Chrissie_Hynde" title="Chrissie Hynde">Chrissie Hynde</a>'s then-infant daughter, Natalie Rae Hynde. She was learning to crawl at the time that Hynde was trying to determine a title for the album.

Learning to Crawl was a critical and commercial success, reaching number 11 on the <a href="UK_Albums_Chart" title="UK Albums Chart">UK Albums Chart</a>. In the United States, it peaked at number five on the <a href="Billboard_200" title="Billboard 200">Billboard 200</a>, making it the band's highest-charting album in the US.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2></div>

After <a href="Pete_Farndon" title="Pete Farndon">Pete Farndon</a>'s dismissal from the band and <a href="James_Honeyman-Scott" title="James Honeyman-Scott">James Honeyman-Scott</a>'s death, <a href="Chrissie_Hynde" title="Chrissie Hynde">Chrissie Hynde</a> and <a href="Martin_Chambers" title="Martin Chambers">Martin Chambers</a> initially recruited <a href="Rockpile" title="Rockpile">Rockpile</a>'s <a href="Billy_Bremner_(musician)" title="Billy Bremner (musician)">Billy Bremner</a> and <a href="Big_Country" title="Big Country">Big Country</a>'s <a href="Tony_Butler_(musician)" title="Tony Butler (musician)">Tony Butler</a> to fill in a caretaker line-up of the band in 1982. Bremner played guitar and Butler played bass on the band's September 1982 single "<a href="Back_on_the_Chain_Gang" title="Back on the Chain Gang">Back on the Chain Gang</a>" and its B-side "<a href="My_City_Was_Gone" title="My City Was Gone">My City Was Gone</a>", both songs which were later included on Learning to Crawl. As the album sessions got underway, Bremner, <a href="Graham_Parker" title="Graham Parker">Graham Parker</a>'s bassist <a href="Andrew_Bodnar" title="Andrew Bodnar">Andrew Bodnar</a>, and <a href="Paul_Carrack" title="Paul Carrack">Paul Carrack</a> (formerly of <a href="Squeeze_(band)" title="Squeeze (band)">Squeeze</a>, <a href="Ace_(band)" title="Ace (band)">Ace</a> and <a href="Roxy_Music" title="Roxy Music">Roxy Music</a>) played guitar, bass and piano respectively for the track "<a href="Thin_Line_Between_Love_and_Hate" title="Thin Line Between Love and Hate">Thin Line Between Love and Hate</a>".

Finally, <a href="Robbie_McIntosh" title="Robbie McIntosh">Robbie McIntosh</a> (guitar) and <a href="Malcolm_Foster" title="Malcolm Foster">Malcolm Foster</a> (bass guitar) were recruited to join Hynde and Chambers, and the band was now officially a quartet. It was this line-up that recorded the rest of the tracks featured on Learning to Crawl.

The November 1983 single "<a href="2000_Miles" title="2000 Miles">2000 Miles</a>" was the newly reconstituted foursome's first release, followed shortly by the full Learning to Crawl studio album in January 1984.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Song_origins">Song origins</h2></div>

Hynde noted in the booklet for the expanded edition of Learning to Crawl that guitarist Robbie McIntosh came up with the opening guitar riff for "2000 Miles". She stated that she probably should have credited McIntosh as co-writer of the song.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-3">[3]</a> "2000 Miles" became a popular <a href="Christmas_music" title="Christmas music">Christmas song</a> in the UK. The lyrics are a tale of two lovers apart during Christmastime.<a href="#cite_note-NYTPeacePast-4">[4]</a>

In "I Hurt You", dubbing was used to overlap two lead vocal parts with conflicting melodies and emotional pitches in order to express the narrator's tangled emotions.<a href="#cite_note-NYTPeacePast-4">[4]</a>

"My City Was Gone" is largely an autobiographical song written about the changes that Hynde observed when she went back to her native city of <a href="Akron%2C_Ohio" title="Akron, Ohio">Akron, Ohio</a>.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-3">[3]</a> The instrumental introduction of the song would later be adopted as the theme of the EIB Network radio brand, originally <a href="Rush_Limbaugh" title="Rush Limbaugh">Rush Limbaugh</a> and later <a href="Clay_Travis" title="Clay Travis">Clay Travis</a> and <a href="Buck_Sexton" title="Buck Sexton">Buck Sexton</a>.

"Thumbelina" is a <a href="Country_rock" title="Country rock">country rock</a> song about a mother and daughter traveling across America, with the last line suggesting that the mother is leaving her husband.<a href="#cite_note-NYTPeacePast-4">[4]</a>

"Watching the Clothes" was an older song written before the band's debut album. Hynde was inspired to write the song after a close friend died.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-3">[3]</a>

In a February 1984 review for <a href="Rolling_Stone" title="Rolling Stone">Rolling Stone</a>, <a href="Kurt_Loder" title="Kurt Loder">Kurt Loder</a> hailed Learning to Crawl as "a triumph of art over adversity" which "achieves a professional rebirth that seemed uncertain as recently as a few months ago." Praising Hynde as "the most unaffectedly personal of contemporary singer/songwriters, and surely the most astringently intimate lyricist working within a real <a href="Rock_and_roll" title="Rock and roll">rock & roll</a> context", Loder stated that "if this third Pretenders album lacks the sense of revelation, of a new voice being heard, that so distinguished <a href="Pretenders_(album)" title="Pretenders (album)">the group's first LP</a>, the insights here are deeper, the wisdom harder won."<a href="#cite_note-Loder-10">[10]</a> "Chrissie the fuck-off queen always had these humanistic attitudes in her," <a href="The_Village_Voice" title="The Village Voice">The Village Voice</a>'s <a href="Robert_Christgau" title="Robert Christgau">Robert Christgau</a> wrote, "and it's good to hear her make the thin line between love and hate explicit."<a href="#cite_note-Christgau-14">[14]</a>

Retrospectively, <a href="AllMusic" title="AllMusic">AllMusic</a> critic Mark Deming deemed Learning to Crawl "a masterpiece" distinguished by the emotional resonance and "gravity" of Hynde's lyrics, which "blended with her tough but wiry melodic sense and streetwise intelligence to create a set of truly remarkable tunes."<a href="#cite_note-Deming-5">[5]</a> Elizabeth Nelson of <a href="Pitchfork_(website)" title="Pitchfork (website)">Pitchfork</a> described the album as Hynde's attempt to reconcile her "intuitive, if sublimated, strand of compassion" with her "thorough cynicism", likening it to <a href="John_Lennon" title="John Lennon">John Lennon</a>'s "dissociative classic" <a href="Imagine_(John_Lennon_album)" title="Imagine (John Lennon album)">Imagine</a> (1971) "with its surfeit of runaway hooks, its working-class rage, its ad-hoc penchant for insult comedy, and its communion with the idea of genuine human understanding".<a href="#cite_note-Nelson-8">[8]</a>
