about

sadness is behind it all
and although so heavy, so grey
it is in us, in the brightest of days
and all we do is fight
until we realize we might
just be joyous about the sadness
that moves us forward from madness

his cover version of Sadness Is a Blessing (originally by Lykke Li) was created with the incredibly talented Jordan Murawa. Working on this folky cover song long-distance, we wanted to showcase our respect & connection to the famous song in our own way and style, changing it considerably while keeping the vibe and the message intact. It has a strong message, after all.

lyrics

My wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight
My wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight
And I'll keep it like a burning
I’m longing from a distance

I ranted, I pleaded, I begged him not to go
For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known

Sadness is a blessing
Sadness is a pearl
Sadness is my boyfriend
Oh sadness, I'm your girl

These scars of mine make wounded rhymes tonight
I dream of times when you were mine so I
Can keep it like a haunting
Heart beating close to mine

Sadness is a blessing
Sadness is a pearl
Sadness is my boyfriend
Oh sadness, I'm your girl

I ranted, I pleaded, I begged him not to go
For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known
Every night I rant, I plead, I beg him not to go
Will sorrow be the only lover I can call my own?

Sadness is a blessing
A blessing
Sadness is a joy
A joy
Sadness is my girlfriend
My girlfriend
Oh sadness, I'm your boy
My boy

Sadness is my girlfriend
Oh sadness, I'm your boy
