(I'm spanish, sorry) Hay gente que nunca ha oído hablar de ella, o gente que sólo ha escuchado Just Give Me A Reason, o Try. Una pena, yo siempre recomiendo las canciones con las mejores letras, como esta, Who Knew, Long Way To Happy... Ojalá todo el mundo conociese a P!nk :(
Thalia De Leon She gets more than enough attention. Just because the whole planet isn't talking about her 24/7 doesn't mean she doesn't get enough attention.
many people think, that all popstars are bad singers and only famous because they're pretty. I can understand them, because there are a lot of examples (like Katy Perry or Rihanna), where this is true. Hence, they underrate the popstars who are an exception, like Pink.
True I dont.know why but i just feel peace ☮️ and and blessed heart ❤️ shes an outstanding dedicated performer and singer this song brings me to tears 😭 but is amazing I feel a better human being listening to this well made masterpiece because is just real , your comment is amazing much blessings to you and wellness 🎤
I m fully agree with u 100%.for comporasion pink and adele for me pink was absalutely magnificient.adele was so amazing.at the end for me pink was giffted from ALLAH
I can never listen to this song without crying because i was that mom. I can still hear my daughter through her bedroom door singing this song at the top of her lungs and sitting scrunch on the floor outside her door breaking apart into 1000 pieces and dying inside. You see my husband of 22 years cheated with a woman at work for 5 years. I lost my mind my ground my everything. But, when i look back and im asked what i would change i answer my reaction....to quote from the last sceen in the movie The Shack " I was too enthralled in my own pain to help you with yours!" Im sorry to the true loves of my life my children. I hope i have helped heal the wounds i caused. And now they are all grown and are having kids of their own. I pray with all.of my heart and soul that they never ever have to feel their pain again and if i could have taken it from you then i woild have. I love you all very very much. Love Mom
Wow I felt your pain reading this... My story is similar. My daughter had to see and hear things she never should have... I was in an abusive relationship and instead of leaving, I medicated myself. I hurt her deeply. I pray she's meant it when she says she forgives me and loves me.... I should have left that evil! I pray no one goes through that and if they're in a situation that's out of control, that they have the courage and strength to get out and not let it destroy them and those they love. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.... God bless!
I know they are adults now, but please tell your kids this. If my mother even acknowledged her role in this similar situation, our relationship would have been far better. Stop the generational trauma.
@@sharylmcdonald7003 oh hell yeahhhh I fully understand I'm a drummer myself I fully get it, if you are involved with a great artists and you both have the passion definetly stay
This is my childhood's anthem. When my family broke down I had no way to go. I turned to music and this song always be there for me. Feel like she wrote this song for me.
Sobbing! I hate that I have to be a source of pain for my daughters, that I can be a reason their hearts are hurting. Granted me and my exe get along and we still always do things as a family, but I wish I could shield them from the pain. What could your parents have done different that would have helped? What can I do so that my daughters always know they are loved and it’s not their fault? Is there anyone with a positive story with parents who did it right?
My parents get divorced when I was 5 and, when I was 11 (in 2001), it was WW3 between them. This song and the video clip helped me too. Wish you the best. Solène, from France.
Chutinart Chinudomporn I had the same childhood as you. This song always carried me through really bad times. Coming back to it in 2019 brings back the memories 💞
I love how you can hear the conflict and arguments in the piano at the beginning. The low notes sound like the father's voice and the high notes sound like the mother's.
He is ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!! It sounded exactly like a Baby Grand Piano!! PURE Symphony!! Pink and her INCREDIBLE band brought me to tears and the house down with Heart and Soul!!! 🙏😪🌺
This song is my anthem too. I was 3 when my mom ran away with me from my dad. But the war was on and I was the rag doll. They hurt each other and me. But mostly I held the hope until I was in high school that they would get together which was never ever ever going to happen. I was 47 when I got Toxic Shock Syndrome and was in a coma for 2 1/2 weeks and had total organ failure. I survived by some miracle and when I woke up from the coma both my parents were by my bed side, in the same room for the first time since I was 3. I cried and cried them being in the same room was my second miracle... This song runs deep!
Your comment make me cry . . It is so moving. Im so happy that they both took care of you and their war was over. Children remind us the reason why they exist. It is just beacause of love. We have to respect them.
Wow 🥺😳🙄 a whole different feeling and position , however I understand too well although I had other siblings and two are deceased, this song is mine and my sister Lisas song, even though she's barely 20 months older she calls me her hero but I believe she's mine,her song to me is Mariah Careys hero,my song to her Train's drops of Jupiter and our song is portrait by the always beautiful Pink ❤️🥰🙃😊😉🙂🙏
Can't describe how much this One means to me. Just this I Want to tell you. Thank you Pink all of my heart. I'm 64 now and wounds don't heal, only you can learn to live with your wounds. I Love this song, because it makes it easier. God bless you, and I really mean it from my heart. You are a wonderful lady
Hits so close to home, it almost feels like she was a fly on the wall when I was kid. Such a beautiful song and such a meaningful/gut wrenching song… she’s so talented
Yeah she's so good... perfect Never read her biography but am wondering if she was professionally trained at singing. I can't imagine someone being so perfect vocally just out of talent without having being professionally trained.
A very good live version with an amazing piano intro. Childhood very often leaves a scar on our adult life, every one of us has a different one. Yet, it is possible to overcome the weaknesses caused. Greetings to all that are struggling.
@@ioanaiulia5764 me neither but I forgive my parent long time ago wish you beautiful things even though I don’t know you, life goes on and is just amazing…..💯🙏
I'm divorced and each time I heard this song I remember my son and it make me understand better him and everything what he survive... Your mom will always loves you,my love... 💔❤
Mirjana Nikola My parents get divorced when I was 5 years old and, in 2001, it was World War III between them. I was eleven and I was depressive because of them. I tried to translate Family portrait in French (because I am French) and it was a real therapy for me.
It’s sad when a child has to witness screams, insults, swear words and punches from his parents, the tears that come down last forever. Every time I listen to this song I remember my childhood, how my parents “loved each other” that way. I can’t help thinking I have problems to start a relationship with other people because of that. When I hear screams I go back to being a child.
I had a different experience. I felt like I was finally out of prison when my father died. I then had to go no contact with a very abusive mother who had narcissistic personality disorder and I started living at about 60 years of age. Better no “parents “ than abusive ones who want you to die.
This is the word of two generations. Millions of children who have grown up among the screaming and the horrible break-ups - the horror and the loss that never go away. Greatest song since I don't even know when.
This song makes me cry after all these years of my parents being separated. We carry the pain with so much weight but we must break the cycle so we don’t repeat our past. 😞
I decided to break the cycle & not marry until I am 100% sure that the man I marry will not continue the cycle. So far no luck & I have still not married.
@@travellog5573 Same here! Happy to stay single and not have a man put me through the same hell. Big hugs to you and everyone stopping generational trauma continuing on!
As someone who leads a similar life to the one described in the song and who performs for others and has personally see n p!nk perform i know it is hard but if you think about only the song and not the lyrics it becomes easy to do... idk about what her perspective is on it all i know is that is how it is for me...also there are songs that are just made up and don't have a connection to the singer or songwriter although those types of songs are hard to come by.
You know what would be absolutely amazing. Pink and Eminem teaming up. Have no clue why I thought of that during this song specifically, but I think it would be magical.
My all time favorite P!NK song & @ the time of its release my parents were considering divorce so I played them this song & well... they're STILL together... can't say this song saved their marriage but I like to think that it made a difference! Thank you P!NK!
Good Lord! This is her best song. I almost cry. 'Cuz this is about my family, my parents... (and I know, millions of people can say the same). We worked it out, God bless my parents
Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you said You fight about money, bout me and my brother And this I come home to, this is my shelter It ain't easy growin up in World War III Never knowin what love could be, you'll see I don't want love to destroy me like it has done my family Can we work it out? Can we be a family? I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything Can we work it out? Can we be a family? I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave Daddy please stop yellin, I can't stand the sound Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around My mama she loves you, no matter what she says its true I know that she hurts you, but remember I love you, too I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away Don't wanna go back to that place, but don't have no choice, no way It ain't easy growin up in World War III Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen I don't want love to destroy me like it did my family Can we work it out? Can we be a family? I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything Can we work it out? Can we be a family? I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave In our family portrait, we look pretty happy Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes naturally I don't wanna have to split the holidays I don't want two addresses I don't want a step-brother anyways And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name In our family portrait we look pretty happy We look pretty normal, let's go back to that In our family portrait we look pretty happy Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally In our family portrait we look pretty happy (Can we work it out? Can we be a family?) We look pretty normal, let's go back to that (I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything) In our family portrait we look pretty happy (Can we work it out? Can we be a family?) Let's play pretend act and like it comes so naturally (I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave) In our family portrait we look pretty happy (Can we work it out? Can we be a family?) We look pretty normal, let's go back to that (I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave) Daddy don't leave (x3) Turn around please Remember that the night you left you took My shining star? Daddy don't leave (x3) Don't leave us here alone Mom will be nicer I'll be so much better, I'll tell my brother Oh, I won't spill the milk at dinner I'll be so much better, I'll do everything right I'll be your little girl forever I'll go to sleep at night
Little Alicia certainly came out in this song. Very moving and you can tell she re-lives those expierences emotionally singing it. Very apparent at the end about not spilling the milk at dinner and when she sings "I can't stand the sound". What a remarkable Mom she is determined her own children are NOT going to expierence that in their lives. We love U Pink !
I just love this song. I love the music, emotions, how she sings and how the lyrics express the meaning. Even if it has nothing common with me..It's so great
Wow! That guy on keyboard who is he. He is classically trained with no notes in front of him! His incredible. Pink is awesome and authentic love her. 💛
P!nk's song encapsulates growing up in situations where pretending to be a "happy family" was expected. Who else relates to this, & to the different reality behind closed doors?
@Adara007 I can relate so much. I lived in the most abusive home in every way possible. My father was a raging alcoholic and my mother was enmeshed in co-dependency. Father has passed away and my mom and I are no contact. She never loved me and I couldn’t take it anymore. I left home at 14 and never looked back. She can love my siblings W/O me . I’m at peace with it.
This song hits very very close to home indeed for me, its a work of art and perfectly captures the feeling of children caught in the middle of a divorce. Amazing performance here also
My parents divorced a yyear before this concert world tour, i was there at the concert i cried and sang the whole song. It was like some really deep emotional clense. Never forget that P!nk, your energy in live is just a miracle...
I absolutely love this song... The first time I heard it, I was "I don't get the lyrics" but after my parents got divorced, this song became the only thing that made me go through the process of accepting that my family would never be the same. This song was my therapy 💚💚💚💚💚....
I also cry every time I hear this song. Because at first my sister & I were you & your brother. The 1st time our parents got divorced, we were still very young to understand much. But then they got back together & remarried. Everything seemed better, until we got old enough to understand what he had been doing to us was not what a father should be doing with his daughters. My mom learned about it from my sister who finally said something. Our dad tried everything to make her look like the liar, but thankfully my mom believed her & kicked him out immediately. Yes, she called the police on him, but he was an Alaskan Native & he fled back up there from where we're living in Iowa, where my mom was from. However the county attorney at that time refused to bring him back to Iowa to face any charges. He got off completely free. In time, my sister began talking to him again & even started seeing him again. He actually admitted to us that what he did was wrong & though he was a very bad alcoholic, it was still no excuse. He sincerely asked for our forgiveness. As much as he hurt us, he was still our dad & we did still love him. He just passed away in Mar. 2022 from a very aggressive cancer. I at least had the chance to hear him say he was sorry & we did still get some kind of relationship with him. Thankfully, we had a wonderful step dad for 26 years, until cancer took him in 2012, that seemed to set off a chain of events that has completely destroyed my life. 2 years after my step dad, my sister's addiction that she ended up turning to from all we went through as kids killed her at age 43 in 2014, then 8 months & 8 days later, my mom seemed so heartbroken & simply gave up & died in Apr. 2015. I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad. But am so grateful for the way you put your life & truth into your songs. I don't think you know how many people you really touch with your music. As I've heard you say before in an interview, "music is a bridge to your soul when you can't find the words". Thank you for simply being you & touching so many. You're an incredible human being.
She's been huge and very much appreciated in Australia, UK and Europe for much longer than she is in America. We know legendary singers when we hear them.
Oh, shittt ..I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET MY FATHER, AND EVEN SO... THIS SONG MADE ALL THE HAIRS OF MY BODY STAND STIFF - STRAIGHT LIKE PINS !!! THIS SINGER IS IRREPLACEABLE & IRREPEATABLE ; SO GLORIOUSLY+ MAGNIFICENTLY MOVING, SHE LIVES EVERY SONG LIKE IMPRINTING HER COURAGEOUS AND EMOTIONAL , EXCLUSIVE SIGNATURE LIKE AN INDELEBLE TATTOO BUT UPON YOUR MIND & SPIRIT🌠☄️
Love this song but took me 4 years to listen to it again, this was my granddaughter’s life at 3 years old ,her mum and dad are on good terms now but she still carries her childhood trauma ❤
You can see the pain in her eyes.I know the pain she dings about. It breaks my heart for her.I had the same feelings as her.Im so proud of her!I still deal with the pain and emotions of my life. GOD SPEED PINK!!!!
God.... how I can soooo relate to this song. Being 8 years old, waking up to mom and dad at each others throats and all our kitchen windows being broken out because dad didnt like the dinner mom made. Then mom having the BOILING MUSHROOM SOUP being poured over her head because it was too salty. THANK GOD, GOD IS A GOOD GOD AND HE HAS TAKEN ME PASSED THAT BUT YOU NEVER FORGET!
I feel like this was my song. It was like living in WWIII growing up. Then when my dad left, my whole world of problems opened up. I needed my daddy. When I sing it I sing it with raw emotion just like PINK did here. Excellent song!!!!!
the most powerful emotive vocalist I have listen to since 2002. She's one of a kind and widely acclaimed for her ability to emote while performing live.
Every time I see this woman, I fall in love with her again, and again, and again. Not that I think she would want to really spend one moment with much, much less a lifetime, But I see in here so much I appreciate and having seen many of her interviews and clips when she is not performing I find that deep down inside we seem to ask similar questions and want similar outcomes for the good of all, having all respected and appreciated. I am so thankful that God created her and I was privileged to be able to find her videos, or have them pointed out to me. In the mean time I just love her like I have so many other ladies, figuring that life is so much better for her if I just love her and she is not having to encounter the mess that is me.
This is definitely my childhood anthem. My mom and dad fought all the time, he hit her and me. She ended up hitting me too until I got pregnant with my first son.
Mama please stop cryin´ I can´t stand the sound Your pain is painful and it´s tearing me down I hear glasses breaking As I sit up in my bed I told Dad you didn´t mean Those nasty things you said You fight about money About me & my brother And this I come home to This is my shelter It ain´t easy, growin´ up in world war 3 Never knowin´ what love could be You´ll see, I don´t want love to destroy me Like it has done my family CHORUS Can we work it out Can we be a family I promise I´ll be better Mommy I´ll do anything Can we work it out Can we be a family I promise I´ll be better Daddy please don´t leave Daddy please stop yelling I can´t stand the sound Make mama stop cryin´ ´Cause I need you around My mama she loves you No matter what she says is true I know that she hurts you But remember I love you too! I ran away today, ran from the noise Ran away (ran away) Don´t wanna go back to that place But don´t have no choice, no way It ain´t easy, growin´ up in world war 3 Never knowin´ what love could be But I´ve seen, I don´t want love to destroy me Like it has done my family
This song is why I am still married 37 years. It stopped me from making a huge mistake. All my kids have now been married 10 years or more. You can work it out for them they didn't ask to be brought into your mess. Kids deserve a mom and dad remember you are the adult.
