Le donne cercano sempre di apparire al meglio, sempre perfette, sempre truccate, la bellezza naturale è difficile da trovare, da accettare.
Colbie Caillat
“Truccati, fatti le unghie, arricciati i capelli, corri per un miglio, diventa magra cosi gli piacerai, gli piaci? “
Così comincia la canzone “Try” di Colbie Caillat, un’artista statunitense che con questo video vuole sfatare il mito della bellezza ad ogni costo, della bellezza stereotipata, della bellezza da copertina, e vuole rilanciare la bellezza naturale come punto di partenza e punto di arrivo.
Ha superato i 15milioni di visualizzazioni su YouTube il suo video, un video che mostra questa “bellezza” da copertina che pian piano si “smonta”, sparisce il trucco, spariscono le extension, sparisce tutto quello che è finto, per rivelare delle splendide donne, di tutte le età, così come sono nella realtà, una bellezza naturale, senza trucco e senza inganno.
Un ritornello intenso che spiega chiaramente che non c’è bisogno di sforzarsi, di provare così duramente ad essere qualcosa che non si è…
Bellezza naturale
E termina così la canzone
“Struccati, appoggia la testa, prendi un respiro, guardati allo specchio: non ti piaci? Perché a me piaci!”
Il testo della canzone, inno alla bellezza naturale
Put your make up on
Get your nails done
Curl your hair
Run the extra mile
Keep it slim so they like you, do they like you?
Get your sexy on
Don’t be shy, girl
Take it off
This is what you want, to belong, so they like you
Do you like you?
You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try
Yooou don’t have to try
Oooh
Oooh
Get your shopping on, at the mall, extra credit card
You don’t have to choose, buy it all, so they like you
Do they like you?
Wait a second,
Why, should you care, what they think of you
When you’re all alone, by yourself, do you like you?
Do you like you?
You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing
You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to bend until you break
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try
You don’t have to try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try
Yooou don’t have to try
Noooo
Oooh
You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try
Take your make up off
Put your head down
Take a breath
Look into the mirror, at yourself
Don’t you like you?
Cause I like you
