Shows her vulnerability, P!nk has just unwrapped another visually arresting video for her duet with Fun.'s lead singer Nate Ruess, "Just Give Me a Reason," the third single from the 33-year-old singer's latest sixth album, "The Truth About Love." Surprise, it's surreally dramatic! The stunning visuals and a compelling narrative render the clip a winner. This emotionally heavy video has P!nk contemplating her broken relationship.
The mid-tempo ballad plays out like a traditional love ballad between a couple. The stripped down, piano-based track begins with P!nk lying alone tossing and turning in bed. With flashbacks of her former flame, she tries to convince herself that they're not broken up and the two can learn to love again. P!nk sings the love tune so beautifully, and the chorus is little gem. Although it's a little jarring to hear P!nk's raw, live vocals paired with Ruess' Auto-Tune, it's ultimately a less-schmaltzy version of those male/female duets found at the end credits of every 80s movie.
The video was filmed last November and was directed by the starry Diane Marte and it is far from P!nk's best visual effort, but it fits the song well. While it's not a physical spectacle like "Try," it's a simple, yet stunning effort, takes on a dream-like quality and centered on P!nk writhing around on a mattress in the middle of a foggy body of water. She and Ruess also belt out verses side-by-side against a white backdrop, but instead of sharing the bed with Ruess, she's snuggling up to her real-life husband Carey Hart.
The married and very fit couple put on a sultry display in romantic interludes while both laying on a bed expressing all their love for each other she belts out the passionate song. P!nk also hangs onto a teddy bear when she isn't hanging on to husband, while floating on a floating mattress in the water about a relationship that seems to be missing something very important. Complete with a glowing teddy bear and surprise appearance from Hart, the singer's imagination runs wild in another memorable video.
