Story Behind The Song

Award winning South African singer, Yolande Strauss and Casia met over the internet and their words and melodies immediately entwined. They began working on an album of bittersweet, haunting love songs about the trials and tribulations of relationships.

Song Description

I bittersweet take on love. This song was an experiment of sorts to include as many oxymorons (contradictory ideas) as possible and still make sense..

Lyrics

Sweet Sorrow
(c)2011 Casia - lyrics
Yolande Straus - vocals and melody
Adam Kirby - music and mix

(V1)
Love is a crime I misunderstood
Til it saw the sad smile your face
I was sinfully delirious
It felt so dangerously safe

(V2)
I clearly misunderstand
What is hidden in plain view
This planned chaos of love
Is accidentally for you

(Chorus)
Sweet, sweet sorrow
Is there no tomorrow
Is there no beginning to mend
When love has faded
And the silence deafens
Our perfect mismatch must end

(V3)
The black sun is burning cold
I have nowhere to grab ahold
How much would it cost
When all my good grief is lost
How much will it cost
How much will it cost

(Chorus)
Sweet, sweet sorrow
Is there no tomorrow
Is there no beginning to mend
When love has faded
And the silence deafens
Our perfect mismatch must end

(V1- repeat)
Love's a crime I misunderstood
Til it saw the sad smile your face
I was sinfully delirious
It felt so dangerously safe

(V2 - repeat)
I clearly misunderstand
What is hidden in plain view
This planned chaos of love
Is accidentally for you

(Chorus x 2)
Sweet, sweet sorrow
Is there no tomorrow
Is there no beginning to mend
When love has faded
And the silence deafens
Our perfect mismatch must end
