Sadcore Sundays: “Til it Happens to You” by Lady Gaga

Posted by strange on November 1, 2015
Sadcore Sundays: "Til it Happens to You" by Lady Gaga

til it happens to you lady gaga

Lady Gaga released in September her song “Til It Happens To You” about the effects of trauma featuring an accurate video of rape on college campuses. If this topic is a trigger for you, I’d recommend not listening to the song or watching the video. If not, this song can be very healing and a useful tool to rid of the hushed stigma behind sexual assault and rape. The music video is just a preview of her full length movie on the topic called “The Hunting Ground” available for purchase here. Again, do not watch the video if this is a trigger. Share with others that may not be informed on the topic.

Sadcore Sundays: “Candy Says” by The Velvet Underground

Sadcore Sundays: "Candy Says" by The Velvet Underground

Lyrics:

Candy says I’ve come to hate my body and all that it requires in this world Candy says I’d like to know completely what others so discreetly talk about I’m gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder I’m gonna watch them pass me by Maybe when I’m older What do you think I’d see If I could walk away from me Candy says I hate the quiet places that cause the smallest taste of what will be Candy says I hate the big decisions that cause endless revisions in my mind I’m gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder I’m gonna watch them pass me by Maybe when I’m older What do you think I’d see If I could walk away from me Screen Shot 2014-09-27 at 1.53.03 PM That’s Google’s definition. We’re defining “sadcore” as anything you listen to when you’re sad. Sadcore Sundays are meant for you to indulge in your sad feels for a moment, but then let it go and move on.

We Filmed a Beginning Yoga for Anxiety Video!

We Filmed a Beginning Yoga for Anxiety Video!

I finished filming a beginning yoga for anxiety video on Friday, June 19 at YogaWorks Pasadena! The video is one in a series of four yoga for anxiety and depression videos for my mental health blog The Strange is Beautiful (thestrangeisbeautiful.com) and for my 300 hour yoga teacher training project. I’m so grateful to have such talented, helpful and loving friends – Christian Soriano, Corey Strong and Nadia Adella – who gave their time to make this video possible and a brilliant yoga mentor, Ashley Rideaux, to help me design the yoga sequence. A huge thanks to YogaWorks Pasadena, to the manager Ken, for letting me use the studio to film and for moppping/turning the air on so the room wasn’t a sauna for the shoot! :)
