I mean, the title track made sense. It was everywhere when it came out.
All 11s.
It better not be "Can't Take Me Home".
I was about to say this:
14. I'm Not Dead

You can do the math a thousand ways but you can't erase the facts
That others come and others go but you always come back
I'm a winter flower underground, always thirsty for summer rain
And just like the change of seasons
I know you'll be back again
Maki's clever prediction continues to be proven right, I cannot confirm nor deny any further results adhering to the Pop Rock Ladies results... though I don't know what they are anyway.
Self-described as her most poetic song at the time, the song is actually inspired by hers and Billy Mann's working relationship finishing up (a fact we know is untrue) and how change can be terrifying:
"Usually it's very much more cartoon-y and blunt, the way I write songs. I don't really know diplomacy or subtlety." The song was inspired by how P!nk and producer Billy Mann felt about the end of their working relationship: "We were scared to move on from each other, after seeing how much that little bit of time together changed us, and how scary change is."
Lyrically stunning considering it is apparently her out of her depth, the only single thing I don't adore about this song is 'floajing'. I've never understood it and I've never gotten used to it. Apart from that it's packed full of beautiful metaphorical moments and a vocal showcase near the end that lays everything out bare.
The sentiment is a complex one in that she could openly be mocking those that thought her career dead, or simply opening up about how she cannot be knocked down by all the shit that has gone on in her life. Change might be terrifying, and we can become accustomed to the consistent blows of life, but there's a power in knowing that you're alive despite all of that and the you you know is still peaking out from behind the walls, cracks and all.
Commentary corner:@The Hot Rock: (10) My favorite lyrics in any P!nk song.
@Music Is Life: (10) This is hands down one of her best song, and a perfect title track. I remember, when I first listened to this, I was expecting a bragging, expletive filled rocker from the title, but this more subtle, poetic rocker was a seriously pleasant surprise. Love he lyrics to this and the middle-8 is perfection. Thankfully we got the bragging, expletive filled dance rocker with the following song.
@Maki: (10) Amazing! Her best title track along with “Funhouse”. The contrast between the faster verses and calm chorus is genius. It slows down just perfectly to that acoustic guitar. There isn’t one thing I would take away or add to this song. What else to say, I love it!
@rick: (9) Gia Gunn gif. Yes bitch work
@R27: (9) I know this was never a single, but what a perfect mission statement for a comeback album.
@savilizabeths: (9) “I love the way the instrumentation mostly drops out on the chorus.”
@abael: (7) Pink has some great song that require more inventive production to really be a hit. Just too safe.
Thanks for noting that. According to that rate, the next song from "I'm Not Dead" that could be in danger is...
This reminds me when I was sure you would give "I Got Money Now" a 10, but you gave it an 8.
