When I Get There is out now in Australia. Presume it’ll be out in the UK at midnight.

Really liking When I Get There. Very beautiful, hits close to the heart.

Wow! This hits so hard. What a song. :cry:

 

Is there a bar up there

Where you've got a favorite chair

Where you sit with friends

And talk about, talk about the weather?

Is there a place you go

To watch the sunset and oh

Is there a song you just can't wait to share?

Yeah I know you'll tell me when I get there yeah

I think of you when I think about forever

 

"When I Get There", released on the 14th of February, 2023, was the song that helped Pink process her grief for her late father, Jim Moore, who died of cancer in August of 2021. She said in an interview with "Women's Health" on the 8th of February, 2023, "When that song was sent to me, I was very numb. I don't grieve in a normal way, like how I see other people grieve. They have such instant access to their grief, it seems. I just kind of go numb. It takes me a really long time to unpack that suitcase, and that song was part of the unpacking. I heard it, and I thought, 'That's my song.'." Described by the magazine as "a love letter to someone who has passed", the song was written by David Hodges and Amy Wadge.

 

As I'm currently dealing with the very recent loss of a friend, this really hits me and I relate to it big time. :cry:

I just had to come in and say how much this new song really hit me. I lost my mum a few weeks ago and yeah, this just really hit.

I wish she had performed this at the Grammys or at the Brits. It would have been such a powerful and moving moment. I'm really touched by this song. Her delivery of the lyrics is just perfect. :snif:

I am absolutely perched for this album, I cannot wait until Friday!

I really think its going to be a fairly strong album and am excited for it.

 

Maybe im wrong but surely this will get Pink her 4th UK number 1 album next week. She should be safe to do 20k.

I'd say she should? Her only competition looks to be Inhaler and I'd say she can easily beat them?

I think she should too, there seems to be good buzz.

 

I don’t want to be to confident though.

Her last album opened with like 48k. She will be number one.

#1 & #2 on iTunes in Australia already. Probably not many downloads but still great to see.

I've heard clips from the album and i'm so so excited for this now!

From the clips i think i'd go for Turbulence as my favourite so far.

 

I'm just gutted i have to work all day tomorrow so my first listen will be on the commute in the morning, if i had more holidays i'd have booked the day off! :lol:

Haha oh no. I’ll have to wait until the weekend probably Monday even. Got a busy few days.

I’m working tomorrow but also breaking up for half term so I can spend the whole week listening to the album :lol:

I'm planning a Pink party tomorrow, well I'm going to watch the live stream event with my cat 😹 and I've got lots of work/updating to do on pinkhistory, so looks like I'll be having a very P!nk weekend.

 

Was hoping my pre orders would arrive soon as well but haven't even had a despatch email confirmation yet, would've loved to have a physical copy on release weekend to sit and look through the booklet

Literally 10 minutes after making that last post I've ordered the vinyl 😂 delivered tomorrow so at least I'll have something even if I have to wait a while for my pre orders.

The 3 songs so far are honestly all 10s for me, and all for different reasons too.
