This Pink Video Had Me Crying Like A Baby

[Syrinx]

I know this has been mentioned on DU numerous times before, in fact this is where I first found it.

But for the benefit of insomniacs and early-risers, you have to see this.

1. I'm glad I'm not the only one crying

tonight watching that video. I just ordered this cd.

[Yollam]

2. Wow.

This is the moment when I became 100% sure that Pink was NOT a flash in the pan.


Just wow.

My breath is taken away.

[lildreamer316]

3. Ok. THat is the shit.

kick kick kick kick

[Mika]

4. Kicked AND recommended!

:kick:

[AGENDA21]

5. Is it doing well in the charts..?

[BootinUp]

8. another 42 year old just bought it.

I think its a hit. <G>

[cascadiance]

26. A 47 year old just bought it here!

Make sure and buy it new this time around. You might buy other CDs off of ebay, etc. to get a better deal, but buy this one in the stores, so that it helps this sort of music climb the charts.

I just bought the CD today at Costco for $11.99. Great place to get it. Get the best progressive music this year to date at a blue company for a decent price to boot! We should all get it there to send a message!

[Missy Vixen]

47. I'm 45. I bought the CD last week at Costco as well.

Let's hope we're sending a message.

I'll be buying the Dixie Chicks' new CD as well.

[NVMojo]

32. I bought the cd when it first came out but a friend sent me this video

link and I cried. I've always thought this young lady was great.

11. I think the smear campaign has already started

AOL had a poll last week asking who was the bigger bad girl, P!nk or someone else whose name has escaped me.

I found Dear Mr. President on Rhapsody. It was in the top 100 songs last week. This week it's gone and Stupid Girls has slipped from 28 to 50 on Rhapsody's charts.

[proud2BlibKansan]

43. It is ALL OVER the internetS

I know I have had at least 10 people send it to me via email and it has been posted on every blog site I visit, even the ones that have a few resident freepers. LOL

[DemExpat]

6. O...M.....G....that is so powerful, I would have missed this, thanks!

:cry: :thumbsup:

9. This performance REALLY deserves...

[u2spirit]

10. kick

[phusion]

12. Lemme tell you about hard work!

Very nice...Thanks!

[Marr]

13. Was that recorded for MTV?

I asked this in the other thread, but that's a busy place.

MTV censored Nine Inch Nails once upon a recent time because they wanted to perform an anti-war song at the Movie Awards. I'd be interested to know if this was recorded by the same Bush-sucking corporate outlet, since it seems to me like it would be an indication of the times changing.

[Syrinx]

28. I really don't know

I kind of get the impression that Pink had her own crew record the performance and put it out on the net. But that's just a hunch.

[Haole Girl]

14. OMG , such passion, such pain

that was heart-breaking, but worth hearing. Too bad Mr. President will never listen to such pain.

Thank you for posting this.

Now, I need to go re-do my make-up before going out tonight.

[titoresque]

18. huh?

nevermind.......

edited because I answered my own "huh?" :)

[VolcanoJen]

20. Damn.

I honestly thought I was as affected as I can be, but when she busted into that part about "hard work" I pretty much lost it.

Amazing the way music, when done as well as that, can be so moving and emotionally wrenching.

[LibertyorDeath]

15. Very powerful

Very talented!

K&R

[dogday]

16. Freakin A that Rocked!!!

It really got to me.....

[shadowknows69]

17. Wept like a baby myself.

I defy anyone with a soul who has been paying attention not to.

[cassiepriam]

25. I think you nailed it, many americans a bit short in the soul dept. :(

[Chalco]

19. Thank you so much. nt

[proud patriot]

21. I had to grab a tissue myself

She is so beautiful on the inside ..

Thank you Pink

[Syrinx]

35. and her outside is growing on me

:D

[faithnotgreed]

22. kicking for some truth

[SeattleGirl]

23. I watched the video last night, and wow.

Very powerful. I emailed the link for it to everyone on my email list. People need to see this.

[cassiepriam]

24. This blew me away, chills up and down my spine. WOW.

Just fabulous.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

27. That was so good.

I was going to say it didn't make me cry, but there are a few tears in my eyes now.

I just recently saw Pink on the Ellen DeGeneres show, and she did "Stupid Girl."

This is so heartening.

Music was such an integral part of the "movement" of the late 60's and 70's.

In this video Pink is obviously speaking for so many of us, young, not so young.

:applause:

[Nostradammit]

29. That's real, real good

Thanks, Pink ~

[DanCa]

30. I just heard the song on yahoo launchcast.

Unfortunately my computer is way to slow to play videos. I hate dial up.

[Syrinx]

33. I'm on dialup too!

Just start downloading as you go to bed. Then when you get up, you can find it in your browser's cache. And then you can do what you shall with it. ;)

[Earth_First]

31. Dear Mr. President, you need to see this...

I'm nearly speechless.

[BigBearJohn]

34. Nice to know THIS generation can write a decent protest song. I'm CRYING

There IS hope for this world yet!!

If we still have people who can write songs
like this, there IS hope.

God, how I love this song.

[DemExpat]

36. Popular culture can be so much more powerful than a political speech.

Isn't this a Great Song and performance?

:hi:

[BigBearJohn]

51. Love it! BTW,How's life in the Netherland? Can I come there for a visit?

[boston bean]

37. That was absolutely wonderful. Thank you for posting!

[insane_cratic_gal]

38. I had to get the tissues for that!

thank you for sharing it, how absolutely amazing the power of truth is.

[Yollam]

39. Kicked.

[kiteinthewind]

40. Have listed to it about a dozen times, and I cry every time. So beautiful!

:cry:

[aikoaiko]

41. Wow is Pink the new Bruce....

..Bruce was always more subtle, but nicely done Pink.

[shadowknows69]

48. Yeah subtle doesn't come to mind

when listening to that song. I wonder what the legalities would be about setting up a giant projection screen in front of the white house and blaring this video as loud as we could. If it's only a misdemeanor I'd be up for it. One thing. I'd probably need to borrow about 20 thousand dollars off someone. :D

[proud2BlibKansan]

44. I have the best visual image when I hear it

I am at Camp Casey, sitting across the table from Cindy and right next to her sister DeDe. DeDe is telling Cindy "You KNOW she wrote this for you".

When I close my eyes, I am in that tent. I hope that image NEVER goes away.

Chick, you HAVE TO GO with me in August. It is so incredible.

[proud2BlibKansan]

42. This is an incredilbly awesome song.

Thanks for posting. It can't be put up here enough, AFAIC.

[OhioChick]

45. So beautifully done, Pink! n/t

[npincus]

46. I bought the CD yesterday

Pink rocks- I'm glad I bought it and happy to support this artist.

[snappyturtle]

49. I don't know.......

why some posters are revealing their age--this song is for all ages--awesome, terrific,beautifully performed, ad infinitum. Reminds me of the anti-war ballads of the sixties--I'm more than happy, I'm thrilled, to see young adults actively engaging this bogus administration. Go Liz West!! :woohoo:
P.S. Yes, Syrinx, I cried too. Burning CDs to hand out to my friends--too powerful not to share.

[cascadiance]

50. I think that is the point!

We're trying to point out that she has a whole new audience with this song! Heck, my mom liked it last night too, and she's not big on today's music either. I think for those of us who listen now to Buffalo Springfield, Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Edwin Starr, etc. and moan about nothing being here now to take its place, Pink helps renew our hope that there is some substantive and potentially very popular music like the old 60's music for today too! That she can get stuff out that defies the machine! Even though it looks like even YouTube has somehow extracted the live video clip from showing up in today's "most viewed" ratings. Just a while ago it was rated #1 today, and now it's nowhere to be seen in today's ratings... Hmmm!!! The machine is trying to fight back, but it looks like it's having a tougher time of it here!

[snappyturtle]

52. Agreed! nt
