Been listening to that album all day, btw. Still my fave from her.  |
When she started to write the song, it was originally about her idol, her fave singer ever, the goddess that is hippie legend Janis Joplin, who unfortunately died at age 27 from a drug overdose. As P!nk went on writing the lyrics to "Unwind" she realised that it wasn't only about Janis anymore, but about herself, too. She left the "27" bit though.
And yes, a bit of an explanation can be found in "When We're Through", too
Oh, and by the way:
"Unwind" is one of the best songs on Try This and in my top 10 of her songs ever. And y'all will deal.
it's AT LEAST underrated here.
The lyrics, her voice in the song, the live versions >>>
If you love your fans too, maybe you should think about doing some promoting? Just an idea.
