Bryan Santizo is a musician in “How Scandinavian” based in the Antelope Valley and was one of the first people I met after moving from the L.A. area to Lancaster. In the short time I’ve gotten to know him, I’ve been witness to part of his growth as an artist and have become a genuine fan of his music and songwriting.
For this week’s Sadcore Sundays, we get to know Sarah May and her song “Because I Turned You Down.”
In this week’s pick for Sadcore Sundays, Sevdaliza delivers a strong message about being expected to put another’s well-being over your own all in the name of love. “Marilyn Monroe” follows the perspective of someone living in their own pain, yet feeling under pressure to be a support system for someone who won’t do the same for them.
Initially, when I first heard this song I attached it to something romantic, but after listening for some time, I think this song could be for anyone looking to be given a second chance. I hear it now as an apology from that part of us that can be stubborn and harmful, but reaching out to be seen as something more than our mistakes. We can do better. We know it, and we want others to know it too.
