Strong, durable, vigorous, and resilient. These adjectives are the most accurate means of describing Pink and her successful album, titled "Missundaztood". If I had somehow been stranded on a desert island, without a doubt in my mind, this album would be the one item that would help me to survive. Although I have an interest in a variety of music, I do not think that country or pop-like music would be the ideal type of music that would help me to feel as hopeful in such a situation.

In particular, the songs "Don't Let Me Get Me," "Just Like a Pill" and "Family Affair" provide a rock/pop tune, easy to feel, and lyrics that send a shiver through out one's body:" Don't let me get me/ I'm my own worst enemy/ It's bad when you annoy yourself/So irritating/ Don't wanna be my friend no more/ I wanna be somebody else". These feelings of self-frustration and poor self-esteem, emit something so powerful and so deep--something that most young adults or teenagers all too often can relate to.

"Run just as fast as I can/ To the middle of nowhere/ To the middle of my frustrated fears/ And I swear you're just like a pill/ Instead of makin' me better, you keep making me ill." Whomever, or whatever causes this frustration is being recognized in this song. The third of the four songs is "Family Affair." Both this and the fourth song really complete ...
