I love this song and think the video needs to be shared. If you don't like her, feel free to keep moving.

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.

Won't be able to watch the link until I get home, but I just wanna say I love Pink. her part anthems rock and her confessional songs are always intensely personal and moving.

I have loved this one since I first heard it and wondered if there was someone specific in her life she had written it for. I think she wrote it for her baby. It's so beautiful in that tough, gritty Pink way. <3

Wow. Thank you so much for posting that, JerseyGirl2. It was so beautiful. I've loved the song since I first heard it, but had never seen a video for it. Plus I have so much love for Tina Majorino it's slightly problematic (but that's mostly Veronica Mars related, so it's okay). I'll admit that as much as I really enjoyed watching that, I had such an emotional reaction to the bath part. Such a dark and yet strangely uplifting video. Thanks again!

I saw this video the other day, and I just LOVE it.....a little rough for some to watch - but very, very poignant!

Wow, that video made me tear up at the very end. Hard to watch at times, but a great video. Thanks for sharing.

Love the song. Hated the video until the very end.

It broke my heart, but I loved it all the way through. It's gritty and raw and like she said, it's something that can't be ignored. The end made me happy, though.

It just seemed too cliched and like everything I had to hear and see from my annoying friends on myspace in high school.
