Girl Holding Her Sister - “I’ll Stand By You” by the Pretenders

The picture of the small Afghan girl holding her young sister depicts the Pretenders “I’ll Stand By You”. By holding tightly to her sister, the Afghan child portrays that “[she’ll] never desert [her sister]”. In the same way, because the smallest sister most likely fully depends on her older sister, this song parallels the feelings and the devotion that the older of the two girls has toward the other.
