Pink 在《Hurts 2B Human（做人好難）》中的表現(xiàn)比以往更能打動(dòng)人

Life changes after you see?Pink?live in concert. For one thing, every time you hear a new Pink song you can’t help but wonder: “Will this be in the flying portion of the show or is it more of a slow-dance martial arts number?” On her eighth album?Hurts 2B Human, there are chest-beating, middle-finger jabbing anthems in every shade of Pink (from Valentine’s Day Pink to Blood-Runs-Pink Pink). At the top of the track list are definite set additions like the boogie-woogie-ing “Hustle” (“I live my life like a bullet in a gun/?Give you all my love ‘til my patience is done,”?she sings) and the Nate Ruess cowrite “Walk Me Home,” a jacked-up sequel to their trapeze-core ballad “Just Give Me A Reason.”

當(dāng)你看過Pink的現(xiàn)場演唱會(huì)后，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，生活發(fā)生了不可思議的變化。首先，每當(dāng)你聽到一首Pink的新歌的時(shí)候，你就會(huì)忍不住去想:“這首歌是會(huì)出現(xiàn)在演唱會(huì)的飛行部分，還是只是出現(xiàn)在慢節(jié)奏的舞蹈表演環(huán)節(jié)?”在她的第八張專輯《Hurts 2B Human》中，不管是心跳聲中，還是隨著豎著的中指而響起的節(jié)拍中都充斥著的Pink的影子（從冒著愛戀氣息的她到熱血澎湃的她）。在播放列表的頂部仍然是那些意味模糊的歌曲（譯者注：Explicit你懂的），就像她在“Hustle（喧囂）”中唱到的那樣，（“I live my life like a bullet in a gun/?Give you all my love ‘til my patience is done,[箭無虛發(fā)是我的人生教條/為你付出我所有的愛直到我耐心全無]”)以及和Nate Ruess合作寫的那首歌“Walk Me Home（帶我回家）”中，以舒緩不定的民謠風(fēng)進(jìn)行延續(xù)。

The pacing of?Hurts 2B Human?is telling. Pink sings “I abhor reality” on the sugary dance song “Can We Pretend” featuring Cash Cash. But when she digs into what’s getting her down, it’s the most brazen and heartbroken she’s ever sounded. On the Sia-cowritten “Courage,” Pink’s voice swings up the scale on its own chandelier. “I don’t have to do this perfectly,” she sings. “Happy” (co-written by Teddy Geiger and Sasha Sloan) reminds us she is also the patron saint of the?Missundaztood: “Can somebody find me a pill to make me unafraid of me/?Maybe I’m just scared to be happy,” she sings, as if raising a glass to acolytes like Demi Lovato, Dua Lipa, Alessia Cara, Bebe Rexha, husky-voiced, underdog divas who clearly rocked out to her 2001 album.

在《Hurt 2B Human》這張模糊的概念專輯中，它的節(jié)奏就能說明這一切。Pink在與Cash Cash合作的甜美舞曲“Can We Pretend（我們能假裝嗎）”中唱到“I abhor reality（我厭倦了現(xiàn)實(shí)）”。但，隨著她深入探尋到底是什么讓她沮喪時(shí)，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)這是她所有的歌聲里聽起來最令人心碎的聲音。在和Sia合作完成的歌曲“Courage(勇氣)”中，Pink的聲音搖擺不定，她唱道:“I don’t have to do this perfectly（我不必做得很完美）”。在“Happy（快樂）”(由Teddy Geiger和Sasha Sloan共同創(chuàng)作完成)這首歌中又提醒著我們，她永遠(yuǎn)是Missundaztood（粉媽2001年專輯）的守護(hù)神，她唱到:“Since I was seventeen/I’ve always hated my body/And it feels like my body hated me/Can somebody find me a pill to make me unafraid of me/ Maybe I’m just scared to be happy（從我17歲開始/我一直討厭我這幅軀體/并且感覺我的身體也同樣討厭我/有人能給我點(diǎn)良藥嗎，讓我不再害怕自己/也許我只是害怕得到幸福）,”并且向她的朋友們致意，如Demi Lovato, Dua Lipa, Alessia Cara, Bebe Rexha。同時(shí)，那略帶沙啞的嗓音,讓那些處于困境的人從Pink象征性的自信，治愈性的歌詞與大量的歌曲中尋求慰藉。

Pink steps into duet-mode with a varied trio of partners: Wrabel (“90 Days”), Khalid (“Hurts 2B Human”) and Chris Stapleton (“Love Me Anyway”), transforming the chaos of insecurity into confessional ballet, which is kind of her super power these days. It sets the stage for “Circle Game,” the most vulnerable addition to the Pink canon in recent memory, a meditation on motherhood and mortality. Pink sings about how seeing herself in her daughter makes her long for the time her father took care of her as a little girl. She mourns that memory and also mourns the version of herself that didn’t know how transient life is.?“In the Circle Game, no one ever stopped to say/?Soon it’s gonna change, it all just goes away.” You can hear sobs all the way to the nose-bleeds.?

Pink先后與三個(gè)不同的搭檔合作演唱:首先是是和Wrabel一同作出“90 Days（90天）這首歌，再是和Khalid一同完成“Hurts 2B Human”，又和Chris Stapleton一同作出“Love Me Anyway（不論如何，請愛我）”，不論如何，她總是可以將混亂的不安全感變成充滿懺悔的芭蕾舞劇，這也是她不同尋常能力的體現(xiàn)。這些歌曲都為“Circle Game(圓圈游戲)”奠定了基礎(chǔ)，這是近年來Pink近年來的作品中最脆弱的一首，這是對母親這一身份與死亡的沉思。Pink唱到，看到自己的女兒像她小時(shí)候一樣，渴望著父愛。她為那段回憶感到悲傷，也為自己不知道生命是多么短暫而悲傷。“In the Circle Game, no one ever stopped to say/ Soon it’s gonna change, it all just goes away（在圓圈游戲中，沒有人會(huì)停下來說/很快就會(huì)改變，一切都會(huì)消失）”。透過這句歌詞，你可能已經(jīng)聽到痛哭流涕的聲音了。
