Ariel Pink - This Night Has Opened My Eyes

Copied!

{Verse 1}
In a river the colour of lead
Immerse the baby's head
Wrap her up in the News Of The World
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
This night has opened my eyes
And I will never sleep again
You kicked and cried like a bullied child
A grown man of twenty-five
Oh, he said he'd cure your ills
But he didn't and he never will

{Chorus 1}
Oh, please save your life
Because you've only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad

{Verse 2}
A shoeless child on a swing
Reminds you of your own again
She took away your troubles
Oh, but then again
She left pain

{Chorus 2}
Oh, please take your life
Because you've only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad
Oh, oh
Oh and I'm
Oh
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad
Oh, oh, oh

Biography

edit bio

Born on June 24, 1978, in Los Angeles, California, Ariel Marcus Rosenberg, known by his stage name Ariel Pink, is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer.

As a teenager, Ariel began his musical journey by recording tracks on an eight-track Portastudio. In 1999, he self-released his debut album, Underground. The following year, he released The Doldrums and sold it at CalArts, where he was studying fine arts. However, he later dropped out and lived in a Hindu ashram, where he recorded five albums between 2001 and 2003.

Until the release of pom pom in 2014, all of Ariel's albums were credited to his solo project, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti. He explained that he chose to do this because people often mistook his name to be Ariel Pink, when it is actually Ariel Rosenberg. He clarified, "There’s no Ariel Pink, there’s no Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, that was my project, not like a persona. My name’s Ariel Rosenberg and I have a solo project that I called Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti."

Throughout his career, Ariel Pink has collaborated with various artists such as lo-fi legend R. Stevie Moore, Dâm-Funk, Miley Cyrus, and Charli XCX, among others. His album pom pom has been his most successful to date, peaking at 150 on Billboard’s 200 chart.

Ariel Pink's unique blend of lo-fi aesthetics, experimental pop, and psychedelic rock has earned him a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim in the music industry. With his unconventional approach to music-making and boundary-pushing creativity, he continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his distinctive sound.
