𝑹𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏… 🎶⚡
Today's post is dedicated to "𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐘" because I think it's an underrated but a brilliant 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 song, which was released as a 𝑩-𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 on the single "𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑬𝒏𝒅"" on March 10, 2003, years later was included on the unofficial compilation "𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐 𝑩-𝑺𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒔: 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟔 - 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟔" on March 7, 2011 and finally, appeared on the digital compilation "𝑺𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝑩-𝑺𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒔" released on February 19, 2016.

As soon as you listen to the melody you can tell that this is one of 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒐's most melancholic songs. The lyrics seem to describe that the main character is really depressed, as he is no longer enthusiastic about the same things he used to like (𝑺𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒓𝒖𝒈𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝑺𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕… 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆…),
he also feels quite lonely (𝑷𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝑺𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒆…)
[ 𝘗𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚌𝚎: 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚏𝚛𝚎𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚛𝚢.𝚌𝚘𝚖 ], and is reflecting on the dreadful things that take place every day in the world while people go on as if nothing is happening (𝑯𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒚 𝑵𝒖𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒆…).
According to the 𝑼𝒓𝒃𝒂𝒏 𝑫𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒚, '𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒉𝒊𝒎 (𝒚𝒐𝒖) 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒚' is a southern colloquial phrase that means "𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒅𝒓𝒖𝒏𝒌 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒂𝒚", so in conclusion, the character of the song prefers to be lied to rather than to see the harsh reality.
🎤 Another interesting thing in "𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒚" is the contrast of 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒌𝒐's voice, since he recites the verses with a deeper tone and even his voice sounds a bit distorted while on the other hand, he sings the chorus with a more melodic tone.
