 TITLE: Sadness is Sweet
WRITTEN BY: Evangeline Wolfe & Moses Wolfe
SUNG BY: Evangeline Wolfe
GENRE: Indie rock, alternative country, indie folk
LABEL: Unrepresented - Currently looking
From the Album: Stay Strong, Drift On"Evangeline Wolfe makes her debut release a heartbreak song, targeting something that everybody - except, of course, Evangeline Wolfe, who has never had a boyfriend before - has experienced. It's safe to say that although both Evangeline and her father, Moses Wolfe, wrote the song together, all the imagery of pain and sadness was mostly from the mind of her father, who has experienced heartbreak in more ways than one: First, in the death of Evangeline's mother twelve years ago, and, along with her death, the death of the band he had formed with her. We've all seen the show mothers pushing their daughters to do what they couldn't do in life, but very few times have we ever seen a show father, and I believe that that is exactly what we are seeing now.
Evangeline Wolfe, an absolute nobody until now, uses her voice throughout the song to give a child-like appearance to it. In the beginning of the song, we weren't sure if she didn't know how to control her voice well, or if she was trying to make it sound like that, but she proved to us that she really could sing within the last few verses of the song. Even though it's known that Evangeline's heart has never been broken in the way that she sings in the song, you can be sure that she'll convince you it has with her voice, the very emotion of every word floating off of her tongue and into your ears. Okay, maybe that was a weird image we just gave you, but you understand what we're trying to say, right? The song starts off with a single key of the piano, and then Evangeline begins to sing, sounding like a small angel. She does nothing to try to surprise us or take control of the song until the last few verse, when the song takes a turn from a simple piano driven ballad to a soulful -- almost jazz-like -- song, as Evangeline's voice grows with intensity, growing out of the "little girl" sound she took on at the beginning and becoming a "woman," at least with her voice.
Personally, I love Evangeline and can't wait to see more of her. She's not part of the bigger world of music stars; she's kept to herself since her website went up, and has made no effort to be in the limelight just yet. For once, we have a singer who lets her music speak for her rather than her scandals and actions... Either that, or daddy won't let her leave the house yet. Who knows. All I know is that I want more music from her... and stat." - AllmusicYesterday, when you drove away
I felt my heart break
As I waved, I concentrated
On my precious pain
My sadness is sweet
A love so deep
It broke clean in two
A piece for me
A piece for you
It can be your good luck charm
A talisman from fear and harm
It will keep you safe and warm
Until you're in my arms
My sadness is sweet
A love so deep
It broke clean in two
A piece for me
A piece for you
Yours is broken, too, I see
Just before you had to leave
You left half of yours for me
Now both our hearts are complete
My sadness is sweet
A love so deep
It broke clean in two
My sadness is sweet
A love so deep
It broke clean in two
A piece for me
A piece for you
A piece for me and
A piece for youSOUNDS LIKE:
