It’s a defiance that says the Harvey Weinsteins of the world will not continue to keep women under their thumbs as silent, complacent, good girls who are expected to swallow traumatic recollections and their reverberations in order to keep the power structures balancing the patriarchy from falling in on itself.
More than 10 years after “Long Way To Happy,” “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken” is an updated reminder to P!nk and the women of the world that, like the bittersweet sentiment of “Beautiful Trauma” itself, there’s a unifying strength underlying the darkness - that a century after the Suffragettes started their first formations of feminism and demands of equality, resistance and persistence is not only necessary, but ingrained within us as women. “Long Way to Happy” co-writer Butch Walker told PopMatters of the song: “Well, obviously when we go into the studio it’s going to be pretty emotional time, so let’s make sure the vocal goes down naturally and, sure enough, she was practically in tears when she sang it. And that’s that song,” she told The Independent the year I’m Not Dead was released.
“I know a lot of people that have been abused and/or molested and/or fucked over by someone close to them. It’s worth noting that in 2006, her album I’m Not Dead included the song “Long Way to Happy,” which P!nk said was based on a poem she’d written about surviving sexual abuse by a cop when she was a teen. She publicly acknowledges and supports other female artists, including those that she’s had less-than-friendly relationships with in the past (she now say she doesn’t hold grudges) and those the press attempts to pit against her or vice versa. And what a great song with such easy chords! Sing this one at parties, hand out the lyrics! “Livin’ in the new, world.” A sea of voices.“I will have to die for this I fear/ There’s rage and terror and there’s sickness here,” P!nk starts on “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken.” “I fight because I have to/ I fight for us to know the truth/ There’s not enough rope to tie me down/ There’s not enough tape to shut this mouth/ The stones you throw can make me bleed/ But I won’t stop until we’re free.”Ī self-professed feminist (in interviews, not the doc itself), Pink is not just proud to be a woman, but frequently speaks and sings about the current landscape of how men and women to relate, as well as how women relate to one another. I hope this helps some people who are just learning chords. I suspect there may be a shortage of used Resonators at the moment? LOL And they probably all went up at least 100-200 bucks thanks to this song!įollowing either tuning method above, you’ll be playing the following chord "names" using the chord "shapes" listed in the song chart: Gm, E Flat, B Flat, F. Especially with a Resonator guitar, like the song was recorded with. When you detune a guitar a Whole Step though, it gives you that growly, swampy, bluesy banjo sound with a capo. Using either method will give you the same final chords/pitches while playing the chord shapes of Em C G D (above the capo) and will be in tune with the original recording. If you did NOT detune, place the CAPO on the THIRD FRET. Regarding the CAPO placement for this song, if you want to recreate the ORIGINAL RECORDING then you have to DETUNE ALL 6 strings 1 Whole Step, to DGCFAD and then you can place the capo on the 5th fret. Chords listed are not to be confused with actual chord NAMES, they are just telling you the chord SHAPE to play above the capo, wherever the capo is placed. Here’s some easy Theory for beginners confused by the chord names being incorrect and why some people put the capo on the 3rd fret and others use the 5th fret.Īs far as the chord names seeming "off" to some people, this chord chart lists the chords properly using the CAGED Chord Naming Convention, it is NOT listing the actual chord names, it is only naming the chords for their “SHAPES” taken from "open position Cowboy Chords" (Em, C, G, D) all played above the capo, wherever the capo is placed. There's not enough rope to tie me down, oh There's not enough tape to shut this mouth
There's rage and terror and there's sickness here
