When the news broke that Donald Trump had secured his nomination to run for President of the United States, P!nk's song, featuring the Indigo Girls popped into my head as a concept that once I laughed at has the potential of being a reality and the news is somewhat terrifying . Then I thought the world at the moment is a very scary place and there seems an uncertainty hangs over the world on what is going to happen next. All we can hope is that the leaders and future leaders of this world will remember not to group people together and tarnish them all with the same brush because humans are individuals and although there are some horrible humans; it is simply not fair to judge people because they share things in common with others. Sorry this has become political but too much has happened this year in the world not to sit on the side lines.
Originally, P!nk wrote this for her fourth album, I'm not dead and was an open letter to President Bush's administration at the start of the noughties. The song itself needs very little detail analysis but speaks for itself about how P!nk thought about Bush and what was going on her country. Maybe it is a bit soulful for a Saturday afternoon in July, but sometimes in the heat of madness, you need a change of gear and something more reflective so here's it is
