Dear Mr.President by P!nk
P1nk is one of my favorite artists because she is an amazing dancer with a beautiful singer. She sings about real life situations and a great example is "Dear Mr.President". The song just speaks about how the world is so corrupt from poverty, no right to be who you are, and people struggling to live. P1nk uses this song to express and stab the President about how he can live happily when so many people are struggling to make ends meet, worrying about their loved ones out fighting, and having their homes taken away. There are so many powerful lyrics in this song that express the emotional struggle that people other than the president have to live through. "How do you sleep while the rest of us cry? How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye? How do you walk with your head held high?" The song starts off with Pink asking the president to pretend for a moment that they are equal and she continuously asks the president how he lives when people are struggling. I believe this song is 10 times better because Pink chose to have just her voice and a guitar express her feelings. No electric pop music in the background, no base, just a simple acoustic song. This song has made Pink one of the most bravest and realist singers to actually sing about real life problems other than partying, sex, and drugs.
