lyrics change, as well as, the pattern of music. The album starts with a flashback of Pink performing at a concert. You can feel the sense of a musician he is: a rock star. The guitar is loud; one might say the guitar solo has a similar sound as a Jimi Hendrix guitar solo. Digressing from the flashback, there is a crying baby that we can assume is Pink. The song is like a lullaby in that a mother and father confess Pink they love him; His mother sings to him about life and the dangers that Pink…
