What about all the plans
that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
Même si « What about us » n’est pas directement, ni ouvertement, un hommage aux victimes des attentats d’Orlando, certains éléments du clip renvoient clairement à cet événement tragique. Certains plans ne sont pas sans rappeler les images glaçantes du parking de la discothèque meurtrie : une zone industrielle éclairée par les gyrophares des voitures de police; le désarroi de ceux qui, affalés sur le sol, observent des photos de leurs proches, les yeux dans le vide.
L’expression des corps, leur douleur, leur colère. La perte du contact physique d’un être cher. L’amour, les sentiments qui se partagent et les corps qui s’entremêlent. « What about us », le dernier clip de la chanteuse queer Pink, regorge de ces émotions charnelles. Réalisé par Georgia Hudson et chorégraphié par le duo The Goldemboyz, la danse y occupe une place centrale. Saccadés, parfois presque robotiques, mais toujours puissants, les mouvements des danseurs sont hypnotiques.
What About Us est une chanson écrite par la chanteuse américaine Pink pour son septième album studio Beautiful Trauma, dont il est le premier single. Il sort le 10 août 2017. Le clip officiel de What About Us sort le 16 août 2017 sur la chaîne YouTube officielle.
We are searchlights, we can see in the dark
We are rockets, pointed up at the stars
We are billions of beautiful hearts
And you sold us down the river too far
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
We are problems that want to be solved
We are children that need to be loved
We were willin', we came when you called
But, man, you fooled us, enough is enough, oh
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
Oh, what about love? What about trust?
What about us?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
Sticks and stones, they may break these bones
But then I'll be ready, are you ready?
It's the start of us, waking up, come on
Are you ready? I'll be ready
I don't want control, I want to let go
Are you ready? I'll be ready
'Cause now it's time to let them know
We are ready, what about us?
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
So what about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
Oh, what about love? What about trust?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
