"All I Know So Far"
by P!nk
I'm really digging P!nk's new rock/country sound with her last few albums. I was thinking about doing one of the tracks off her last studio album Hurts 2B Human from 2019. But after she took a hiatus in 2020 to spend more time with her family. She subsequently released a song she recorded with her daughter, and this song was released in 2021 accompanied by a documentary that followed P!nk's life as she recorded and performed live, traveling around the world with her family.
These musician documentaries are something that my wife and I have really been enjoying lately. The Taylor Swift one is great, as is the one with Shawn Mendes. What really appealed to us about P!nk's documentary is how focused she is on her family, and how much the people she tours with for the live shows are like an extension of that family. While I know that a lot fo this documentary stuff is idealized and intended to show them in their best light, it's still true that she travels with young kids, her husband is with her watching them while she goes to work, and they try to steal time away with each other during a go-go-go existence where there are a million demands on their time.
This song also really spoke to me this year while I was dealing with my mom's passing. I've been really attaching to bittersweet songs, movies, etc. that celebrate the messiness of life. I'm sure a lot of that is part of my grieving process, but I've found it really comforting to explore creative works that are willing to embrace pain, regret, grief, trauma, etc. and make something beautiful out of it. This song has been heavy on my playlist rotation when I want to mope a little bit, but also feel inspired to move forward anyway.
