Today’s Sadcore Sunday music pick is “Missing Pieces” from Blunderbuss by Jack White.
“I was in the shower so I could not tell my nose was bleeding,
Dripped down my body to the floor right below my feet and,
I looked in the mirror at my face, I thought I had a disease.”
The drums and raunchy guitar were always the main attractions of Blunderbuss for me, until I noticed last night that the whole album is a heart wrenching romantic’s tale of trying to avoid codependence while in a relationship with a very independent woman.
That’s google’s definition. I’m classifying sadcore as anything you can relate to that makes you sad, or that you listen to when you are sad, or both.

Lyrics:
“Missing Pieces”
I was in the shower so I could not tell my nose was bleeding
Dripped down my body to the floor right below my feet and
I looked in the mirror at my face, I thought I had a disease
And there’s a woman with her fingers in my ice box
She peeked around the corner and asked me if I’m okay
She put the ice upon my tongue and then it melted away
Alright, oak floor, soft pine bedroom door, yeah
Speak easy, make her mine if she’s bored, yeah
And there’s a dry pine ceiling that is out of my reach
I woke up and my hands were gone, yeah
I looked down and my legs were long gone
I felt for her with my shoulder
But there was nobody there
I thought she left a note, just a tag on the pillow there
And then I noticed there’s a rag next to my ear
The clock was ringing but it wasn’t nothing that I could hear
[Break:]
Alright
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Sometimes someone controls everything about you
And when they tell you that they just can’t live without you
They ain’t lyin’, they’ll take pieces of you
And they’ll stand above you and walk away
That’s right and take a part of you with them
