P!nk

C'est pas du tout le genre de musique que j'écoute. Cependant quelqu'un m'a fait écouter et je suis tombée sous le charme des textes de son dernier album I'm not dead. On pourrait s'attendre à quelque chose de très superficiel (à son image j'ai envie de dire lol), mais pas du tout, beaucoup de profondeur et de maturité dans ses paroles.
Je me suis même surprise à apprécier certaines de ces musiques


Voilà les textes que je préfère:

Dear Mr President (dans lequel George W Bush en prend pour son grade)
Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why

Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye

Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you


Conversations with my thirteen year old self
Conversations with my thirteen year old self
Conversations with my thirteen year old self

You're angry
I know this
The world couldn't care less
You're lonely
I feel this
And you wish you were the best
No teachers
Or guidance
And you always walk alone
You're crying
At night when
Nobody else is home

Come over here and let me hold your hand and hug you darling
I promise you that it won't always feel this bad
There are so many things I want to say to you
You're the girl I used to be
You little heartbroken thirteen year old me

You're laughing
But you're hiding
God I know that trick too well
You forget
That I've been you
And now I'm just the shell
I promise
I love you and
Everything will work out fine
Don't try to
Grow up yet
Oh just give it some time

The pain you feel is real you're not asleep but it's a nightmare
But you can wake up anytime
Oh don't lose your passion or the fighter that's inside of you
You're the girl I used to be
The pissed off complicated thirteen year old me

Conversations with my thirteen year old self
Conversations with my thirteen year old self

Until we meet again
Oh I wish you well oh
I wish you well
Little girl
Until we meet again
Oh
I wish you well
Little girl
I wish you well
Until we meet again
My little thirteen year old me


Et d'autres extrait:

I don't believe Adam and Eve
Spent every goddamn day together
If you give me some room there will be room enough for two (Leave me alone)

I don't wanna wake up with another
But I don't wanna always wake up with you either (Leave me alone)

You know who you are
High fivin, talkin shit, but you're going home alone
arentcha? (U + Ur hand)

I'm not dead just floating
Underneath the ink of my tattoo
I've tried to hide my scars from you (i'm not dead)


Et tout plein d'autres!

J'adore P!nk, depuis son album Missundaztood. Il est vrai qu'elle est souvent cataloguée comme artiste pop-rock de radio. Mais son travail est bien différent de ce qu'on peut voir aux premiers abords (les premiers singles ne sont souvent pas représentatifs de son travail), je trouve qu'elle sait très bien s'y prendre, autant pour les titres légers ("Leave Me Alone, I'm Lonely") que les plus graves ("Dear Mr. President"). J'aime beaucoup "I'm Not Dead", le dernier album, et ma préférée est "Who Knew", qui est sublime.

Je vais la voir en concert à Lyon le 20 décembre!!

Xaaaaaaaaaaaav?? Je crois que tu vas voir P!nk sur une de ses dates la semaine prochaine... C'est qui la 1ere partie??

*edit* Rhooooooo j'y crois pas, ce serait Laam pour Lyon! (j'espère que c'est une blague, de mauvais gout!)

C'est Lâam pour Paris aussi, et c'est pas une blague (confirmé par NRJ, elle-même à la Star Ac' et sur le programme du concert...), ça fout les boules mais bon une demi-heure ça passera vite ! Et mon concert c'est demain, je prend le train à 11h30 de Brest pour arriver vers 16h20 là-bas, j'ai hâte !

Lyon c'est le lendemain, mercredi soir.

Je suis un peu blasée pour la 1ere partie quand meme... J'espère qu'il y aura une bonne setlist au moins!

Bon concert à toi en tout cas et fais bon voyage!
