King Baby Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Your favs are worried about funky ass perfume lines, bad fashion, red front laces and such as P!nk saves the world one video at a time... JANUARY 20, 2011, 2:51 pm A Personal Note From P!nk: I'm sure my newest video for "F**kin’ Perfect" will be much like some of my other videos, which basically means I expect it will ruffle some feathers. My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them. I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may piss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion. That is my intention. You can't move mountains by whispering at them. Cutting, and suicide, two very different symptoms of the same problem, are gaining on us. (the problem being; alienation and depression. the symptoms; cutting and suicide). I personally don't know a single person who doesn't know at least two of these victims personally. A lot of us have seen certain starlets showing off their latest scars on a red carpet somewhere, usually right before they head back to their favorite rehab. Its a problem, and its something we should talk about. We can choose to ignore the problem, and therefore ignore this video, but that won't make it go away. I don't support or encourage suicide or cutting. I support the kids out there that feel so desperate/numb/powerless, that feel unseen and unheard, and can't see another way.. I want them to know I'm aware. I have been there. I see them. Sometimes that's all it takes. Making this video was a very emotional experience for me, as was writing this song. I have a life inside of me, and I want her or him to know that I will accept him or her with open and loving and welcoming arms. And though I will prepare this little munchkin for a sometimes cruel world, I will also equip this kid to see all the beauty in it as well. There are good people in this world that are open-minded, and loving. There are those that accept us with all of our flaws. I do that with my fans/friends, and I will do that with my child, whoever they decide to be.

We create the problems and then we figure out a way to profit from what we call a solution. Part of selling that solution is to pull on the heart strings of everyday people who know somebody who shows the symptoms of a particular problem. We fill the world with rehab centers, self-help books, and even prisons. And we are referred to these centers and books by our doctors, friends and law enforcement sends us to prison, yet the problems persist. But if one day everybody simply said: "today I'm going to take responsibility for myself because I don't know anyone else who will", we'd be far better off as a culture. I know I am my brother's keeper but If I have anything to offer my brother, it's a fishing lesson not a bunch of tears or a sympathetic song and video.

Thats notn the point. The point is everybody is different, and handle things differently, and as strong as you are mentally, there are others that are stronger, and then there are those who are much weaker, and no nothing, but pain and hurt due to their life circumstances. The point of songs like "We R Who We Are," "Raise Your Glass," "Beautiful," "Fireworks," etc. and those videos these actors have been making is to show these people they are not alone and to show them there is another way.

Sometimes these efforts by artist to "shine light" on the cause of the week only validates the behavior for the person with the problem. People think because someone famous "gets me", what I'm doing must be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
