Price Tag

>
Sempre gostei muito da música do título do post. Acho a melodia bem construída e os efeitos de muito bom gosto, sem extrapolar. O ritmo e o clima da música fazem querer dançar, o que contribui para a minha simpatia pela canção. A cantora, Jessie J, vem da mesma escola pop britânica que só nesse milênio revelou ao mundo Lilly Allen, Amy Winehouse, Duffy, entre muitas outras. Além de nascerem na terra da rainha, todas elas tem em comum as boas letras, que não tratam apenas de um assunto - ou, ao menos dão um panorama diferente para esse assunto.
.
Price Tag é um caso especial. A cantora indaga-se o quanto as pessoas prezam o dinheiro e deturpam os sentimentos, os valores, a moral e afins. Ela também mostra o quanto as pessoas mudam graças ao e para ter dinheiro, algo ainda mais deprimente. A canção ainda tem participação de B.o.B, rapper famoso pelas músicas Nothin' on You e Airplanes. Enfim, veja a letra da música.

" Seems like everybody's got a price
I wonder how they sleep at night
When the sale comes first
And the truth comes second
Just stop for a minute and
Smile

Why is everybody so serious
Acting so damn mysterious
You got your shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good
Time

Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)
Can you feel that (yeah)
Well pay them with love tonight

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

Ain't about the (ha) Cha-Ching Cha-Ching
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

We need to take it back in time
When music made us all unite
And it wasn't low blows and video hoes
Am I the only one getting... tired?

Why is everybody so obsessed
Money can't buy us happiness
If we all slow down and enjoy right now
Guarantee we'll be feelin'
All right

Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)
Can you feel that (yeah)
Well pay them with love tonight

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

Ain't about the (ha) Cha-Ching Cha-Ching
Ain't about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

Yeah yeah
Well, keep the price tag
And take the cash back
Just give me six streams and a half stack
And you can keep the cars
Leave me the garage
And all I
Yes all I need are keys and guitars
And guess what, in 30 seconds I'm leaving to mars
Yes we leaving across these undefinable odds
Its like this man, you can't put a price on life
We do this for the love so we fight and sacrifice every night
So we ain't gon' stumble and fall never
Waiting to see, a sign of defeat uh uh
So we gon' keep everyone moving their feet
So bring back the beat and then everyone sing
It's not about

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
