Pink Sober Hits Home for Those Struggling with Addiction
Well, this blog post is a departure from many of the others that I’ve post over the past months, in that it talks about a song from Pink called “Sober”. All I knew about the song at first is that it had a rousing melody and was sung from the heart. Then I started listening to the lyrics. And from there I had to look up the lyrics online and watch the video on Youtube.
The Sober song is a meaningful anthem for anyone trying to kick addiction in the teeth. The lyrics cut to the core of why many people choose to get high and how they try to feel as good when they are sober. The video shows the struggle with self and how addiction can be consuming, yet can also be overcome. For drug and alcohol educators this song may be one that can be used to connect with an audience young and old.
