Pro-Pink

for those of you that don't know who this lady is...her name is 'pink' and she's a singer. she's most likely not for the skittish...or the extremely proper. she sings what she thinks...tells it like it is (or is to her).

and i absolutely love her passion...even when it's aimed in bizarre directions sometimes.

and i especially love listening to her music...when i'm ticked! oh man...makes things seem like someone else knows.


the first song i heard from her was "like a pill"...and it was amazing. i'd never heard anyone sing like that. and since i was in a phase of reducing my "making people into pills" quotient...it fit.

and then "trouble"!!!! hahahahahahaha! what can i say?...

the next song i heard from her was "most girls". it so resonated with me because i too was not into "needing a man" to be complete. just looking for "real love"...with a guy who also knows where the wind in his sails comes from.


then there was "who knew"...it's about losing someone you love. you know what?...her gutteral voice just takes it up a notch...makes words more than just words. powerful, experiential...love it.

i think what i admire about her most is that she's not trying to be like everyone else. she's fit but not anorexic...just a healthy looking gal. she doesn't do even one thing just because it's what everyone else does...or what is expected. she moves to the beat of her own drum...amazing.

and yes...she's not always straight-laced...and yes...she's sometimes inappropriate. but i really respect how she lives out loud....with the volume cranked.



(i can't get more of her videos to embed...but if you are looking for some shocking/"yikes" music videos...check youtube.com...at your own risk.)
