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

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. Send in your favorite sadcore songs to strangeisbeauty@gmail.com

Sadcore Sundays: “Dagger” by Slow Dive

Sadcore Sundays: "Dagger" by Slow Dive

by Fatima Nieto

Lyrics:

The sunshine girl is sleeping
She falls and dreams alone
And me I am her dagger
To numb to feel her pain
The world is full of noise yeah
I hear it all the time
And me I am your dagger
You know I am your world
I thought I heard you whisper
It happens all the time
I thought I heard you whisper
It happens all the time
She whispers while I’m sleeping
I love you when you smile
I didn’t really lose you
I just lost it for a while
The world is full of noise yeah
I hear it all the time
You know I am your dagger
You know I am your wound
I thought I heard you whisper
It happens all the time
I thought I heard you whisper
It happens all the time

Sadcore Sundays: “Some Things Last a Long Time” by Daniel Johnston

Sadcore Sundays: "Some Things Last a Long Time" by Daniel Johnston

“my favorite sadcore sunday song when I’m feeling 0 ~ : (”
-Fatima Nieto

Lyrics:

Your picture is still on my wall
On my wall the colors are bright
Bright as ever
The red is strong, the blue is true
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time
Your picture is still on my wall
On my wall
I think about you, often, often
I can’t forget all the things we did
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time
It’s funny but it’s true
And it’s true but it’s not funny
Time comes and goes
All the while I still think of you
Some things last a long time
Your picture is still on my wall
On my wall the colors are bright
Bright as ever
Times that we shared, all we forget
Some things last a life time
Some things last a life time

Sadcore Sundays: “Between the Bars” by Elliot Smith

Posted by strange on March 22, 2015
Sadcore Sundays: "Between the Bars" by Elliot Smith

Lyrics:

Drink up baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do
You won’t but you might
The potential you’ll be
That you’ll never see
The promises you’ll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about
The pressure of days
Do what I say
And I’ll make you okay
And drive them away
The images stuck in your headPeople you’ve been before
That you don’t want around anymore
That push and shove and won’t bend to your will
I’ll keep them still

Drink up baby, look at the stars
I’ll kiss you again between the bars
Where I’m seeing you there
With your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught

Drink up one more time
And I’ll make you mine
Keep you apart,
Deep in my heart
Separate from the rest,
Where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot

The people you’ve been before
That you don’t want around anymore
That push and shove and won’t bend to your will
I’ll keep them still
