I like P!nk. Not the color. The singer.
Or at least, I think I like P!nk: I only know what I know, and it's not like we're having lattes in her sunroom Tuesday mornings. (Does she even have a sunroom?!)
I like her complexity: part singer, part songwriter, part skateboarder and gymnast (where she honed a skill for acrobatics).
I like her passion: sometimes coarse, but rarely dishonest, she comes across as legitimately concerned about body consciousness and acceptance in girls - young and old alike.
I like her voice. I like her music.
And I like her artistry.
I also like her song "Glitter in the Air" - my newest listen-to-it-on-repeat title.
Do I have the lyrics?
But of course! (Note that co-writer Alecia Moore is aka P!nk)

Glitter In The Air
Songwriters: Billy Mann & Alecia Moore
Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?
It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?
It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar
You called me sugar
Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight

I also like this video: recorded at the 2010 Grammy awards, it's avant garde in classic P!ink fashion and it combines her acrobatic athleticism with a beautiful rendering of how a song makes you feel - not just what it's about.
Have a look-see.
