"There's an enclave of the punk world where the music still sounds like an austere distillation of Americaβs forlorn dream. Itβs the sound of an old jukebox spinning a Ronettes 45 through a broken speaker, the kid in the garage figuring out the 1-4-5 progression on guitar, the thump of the kick drum banging in 4/4 time through a dilapidated PA. LA's SadGirl sound a lot those early American punksβthe miscreants that preceded the nihilists. Their songs sound more rooted in the wake of Motor City soul and Pacific Northwest surf rock than in the formula laid out by The Ramones, but there is still something in their reverb-and-tremolo pop that feels like a reminder of Americaβs decay."
SadGirl is Misha (guitar + vocals), Dakota (bass) and David (drums).
Feel Like Shit
sadgirl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I don't have to think about her
I fucked it up
So I could sit and drink about her
I feel like shit since I broke her heart
I've felt like shit from the start
So I don't have to know where she's gone
These day I find
I wish I'd never said so long
I've made mistakes
But haven't we all made a few
Now I cant sleep
Cause I'm always thinking of you
I feel like shit since I broke your heart
I've felt like shit from the start see less

Bad music makes me feel like shit. Well this is not as bad as most of todays music .. got an oldies feel. sorry I was wrong
All your friends call you Little Wing
But you fly rings around them all
Comes to town when the children sing
And leaves them feathers if they fall
leaves her feathers if they fall
Little Wing, don't fly away
When the summer turns to fall
Don't you know some people say
The winter is the best time of them all
Winter is the best of all
@user-cn7dm8ol6j
it was just two years ago but i remember liking this song and downloading it on my phone. i was scared bc some of my friends would start end up listening to it on shuffle and think i'm weird or something. this song was a guilty pleasure. i felt like this was a secret i had to keep because i never knew i'd like this type of music and no one i know was into it (and probably thinks it sounds weird) it was really weird and looking back, i think it just symbolizes how i accept and embrace everything i like now. i felt like i was really fake in my early high school years. sorry for the sentimental comment.
