We have a river day coming up with friends this week as well as plans to try out a few more frozen desserts around Portland. I’m trying to focus in on the good parts because there have been a lot of heavy parts this year. Anyway… Gah, why is August just always such a slog.

Wait, those are what I’m thankful for every week. Hey-o, Friday! What I’m thankful for this week: fab friends, that first sip of coffee in the mornings, good food and the NYT Spelling Bee game.

The music video to this song was filmed at Pink’s own family ranch which is located within the vicinity of Santa Barbara, California. It features the two vocalists enjoying quality time on the farm and in nature. In other words, it was a non-album single. It was released without any connection to an album.

This collaboration between Pink and her daughter was the first single Pink officially released in 2021. Later Pink also uploaded a video of her second born, Jameson Moon Hart, trying his hand at the song. And at the time young Jameson is four years old. Pink first teased “Cover Me in Sunshine” on 8 February 2021 via TikTok and more specifically a clip of Willow reciting the chorus. And said event also marked the first time Pink had used TikTok.

The said tune was originally made popular by the one and only Nat King Cole.
#Color me in sunshine professional
This song features Willow Sage Hart, the first born child of Pink and the man she married in 2006, Carey Hart, a professional motorcycle racer. At the time of the release of “Cover Me in Sunshine”, on 12 February 2021, Willow Hart is nine years old.Īlso this is not the first time Willow Hart has teamed up with her mother on song. In fact she has been contributing musically to Pink’s career even while a toddler. And in late 2020 the two of them teamed up to drop a rendition of a holiday classic, “The Christmas Song”. Simply put, this is a positive song filled to the brim with words of hope and beauty. Indeed the purpose of this song, as Pink explained in her own words, is simply to make people feel good. She and her daughter put it out as an expression of love in recognition of Valentine’s Day, not of the amorous type but rather that for their fellow man. Or stated differently, they are wishing that we all come out of this pandemic to face a brighter day. Meanwhile the titular “sunshine” is symbolic of things returning to the way they once were. Put differently, Pink and little Willow are looking forward to the day when the world will return to its pre-COVID normal, so to speak. Then for instance they and others will be able to reunite with loved ones which, due to the pandemic, they currently cannot spend an idealized amount of time with.īut even beyond that, in the second verse Pink expresses a hope that there may be “a better place” lying ahead than what was there before. We can say that she sees the potential for an improved state of existence post-pandemic then what was going on pre-pandemic. And such an expression is of course a further manifestation of her optimism that the whole situation will resolve itself A-okay. For instance, the very first line of the song points to the idea of Pink being separated from her friends, plagued by idle time which consists of reminiscing about happy days past. And again, by implication she knows this is not something which only she is experiencing.
