So, like many of you, I pre-ordered Pink's new cd, the truth about love. I've fallen in love with every track on the damn cd and because I am awake working on my newest book - I have listened to said cd on repeat five times tonight. Her track, Just give me a reason, a duet she sings with Nate Reuss, from the band fun, it is in fact fun. Well not so much fun as a heart breaking conversation between herself and her husband where he sounds just like my spouse. I saw Pink say in an interview that she creates scenarios of unhappiness in her own head, much like every other female on the planet, he didn't look me in the eye (or she) when he passed me the paper this morning, does he hate me? I was so relieved to hear that even her mind works this way that i let out a breath I had no idea I was holding. I am in fact, at this moment, partially awake this morning because I am waiting to order tickets to her new tour this coming spring. On March 28th, 2013, myself, wife and son will all be at her new show and I cannot wait. I have been a huge fan of Pink since she was just signed. In fact, there you go was my own personal anthem for well over a year, far longer than any of my friends, who told me to get over her. I am glad I did not listen to them. From bright Pink hair, to rebel attitude this is one woman I am glad, has never backed down or changed for anyone. Even her new Cd, the truth about love, discusses love in a real way, not holding back and sugar coating it but telling you how it really is - The truth about love - a direct quote from the song
"Oh, you want the truth?
The truth about love is it's nasty and salty
It's the regret in the morning, it's the smelling of armpits
It's wings, and songs
And trees, and birds
It's all the poetry that you ever heard
Terror coup d'etat life line forget-me-nots
It's the hunt and the kill
The schemes and the plots
The truth about love is it's blood, and it's guts
Pure bread, and mutts
Sandwiches without the crust
It takes your breathe, cause it leaves a scar
But those untouched never got never got very far
It's rage and it's hate
And a sick twist of fate
And that's the truth about love
The truth about love"
The truth about the truth about love is I am in love with both Pink - the girl she was, the woman she became and all the stuff that made her who she is, in between. No matter what she sings, no matter what the story is, it stirs the soul and makes you wonder what she held back, if she did or if she even had anything left to hold back at all. - All in all this album is a winner.
