mattogravy Sunny War is a slow hot burn. You will like her instantly, but after multiple listens it will be apparent she's building super-dense classics. The realization might happen after you follow along on the lyrics for the first time, or maybe after the first time you tune out the world and turn her up on your headphones - one way or another, she's going to blow you away. Definitely here to stay. Favorite track: Irrelevant Now.

Worthless 03:25
Please don't let me down/ When we roll into town/ Speak to all the pretty girls/ And forget I'm around/ You know I wouldn't dare/ To even make a sound/ You know I can only stare/ No I won't make a sound/ You make me feel real worthless/ Like I deserve to be hurt/ I've made loving you my only purpose and you/ You purposely treat me like dirt/ What am I worth/ What am I worth/ Remember what you said/ Before the feeling was dead/ Well like thunder are your words/ Pounding through my head/ But your words are untrue/ And I long for your lies/ Now you lie to someone new/ Right before my eyes/ You make me feel real worthless/ Like I deserve to be hurt/ I've made loving you my only purpose and you/ You purposely treat me like dirt/ What am I worth/ What am I worth/What am I worth/ What am I worth

I wish I was pretty/ And maybe you'd look at me/ I want so badly/ To be the one you see/ Saving all my money/ Spend it all on you/ Ain't much honey/ Ain't much I won't do/ I'm so desperate / For love/ I just get so lonely/ All by myself/ I've given up/ On everyone else/ Ain't there nobody/ Nobody for me/ But I need somebody/ Somebody to need me/ I'm so desperate / For Love
3.
I didn't want to get high yesterday/ But all my friends did so I/ Did it anyway/ I look in the mirror and say/ Who the hell are you/ I'll be who I am today/ But tomorrow someone new/ Tomorrowsomeone new / I was destined to be pressured by my peers/ I was everybody but me/ For so many years/ Today I pray to no longer play/ Monkey see monkey do/ I'll be who I am today/ But tomorrow someone new/Tomorrow someone new

Boom Boom 05:06
I've got a soul/ That I hold/ At least that's/ What I'm told/ In this heartless world/ I can't part/ I can't part/ With my heart and it beats on/ It beats on/ It beats on/ I've got a mind/ Of my own/ I've done time/ I have grown/ In this heartless world/ I can't part/ I can't part/ With my heart and it beats on

Driftin 03:42
No matter how hard you try/ I'll never be satisfied/ Each and everyday/ Each and everyday/ I'm drifting further away/ I'm drifting further away/ I'm drifting/ 20 years young/ Spent 20 years on the run/ Each and everyday/ Each and everyday/ I'm drifting further away/ I'm drifting further away/ I'm drifting/ I'm drifting

There were times I had to lie/ There were times I had to steal/ There were times I had to cry/ There were times I couldn't feel/ Oh lord keep me away/ Oh lord don't let me stray/ Officer I swear I'm behaving here/ Just drinking rain water and ever clear/ You gotta understand that I'm running on empty/ You can take me to jail/ But please don't/ Take my bottle away from me/ There were times I had to fight/ There were times I had to cheat/ There were times I had no right/ There were times I couldn't eat/ Oh lord keep me away/ Oh lord don't let me stray/ Officer I swear I'm behaving here/ Just haven't eaten in what seems like a year/ You gotta understand that I'm running on empty/ You can take me to jail/ And please just take my hunger away from me
7.
It wasn't love/ It was sex/ You know I've got my needs too/ But ever since/ We met/ You know I've only loved you/ Rain or shine/ You're on my mind/ Rain or shine/ You are mine/ Rain or shine/ He's just a friend/ He's just a face/ No he could never take your place/ But you were gone/ And he was there/ Yeah it was wrong/ It wasn't fair/ But you know you know/ Rain or shine/ You're on my mind/ Rain or shine/ You are mine/ Rain or shine/ Rain or shine
8.
A black man was hung today/ From a tree for everyone to see/ It didn't make the paper though/ It wasn't on TV/ Cause' the blues is irrelevant now/ No longer on the radio/ The age of injustice and oppression was/ Oh so oh so long ago/ A brown man was deported today/ Exiled from the land of the free/ It didn't make the paper though/ It wasn't on TV/ Cause' the blues is irrelevant now/ No longer on the radio/ The age of injustice and oppression was/ Oh so oh so long ago/ A white man made a dollar today/ A dollar more than you or me/ It didn't make the paper though/ It wasn't on TV/ Cause' the blues is irrelevant now/ No longer on the radio/ The age of injustice and oppression was/ Oh so oh so long ago
9.
Love me love me love me love me right/ Let's go to the park and fly a kite/ Let my cooking soothe your appetite/ Everyday every night / My mans sweet as pie he's so polite/ My mans sweet as pie we never fight/ I'm always waiting for another bite/ Everyday every night / Hold me hold me hold me hold me tight/ When you come home your love is shinning bright/ And I just wanna stand in your light/ Everyday every night

about

“…her right thumb plunks the bass part while her forefinger upstrokes notes and chords, leaving the other three fingers unused. A banjo technique, it’s also used by acoustic blues guitarists. Her fingers are long and strong – Robert Johnson hands – in jarring contrast to the waif they’re attached to. The walking bass line sounds like a hammer striking piano keys in perfect meter, while the fills are dynamic flurries – like cluster bombs. I haven’t heard a young guitarist this dexterous and ass-kicking in eons.” - Michael Simmons, L.A Weekly

about

Sunny War Los Angeles, California

Sunny War is more than just an artist; she is a force of nature that is tough to pin down. What exactly is her style? Blues or punk? Yes, she may be a Robert Johnson with a shot of Bad Brains, but even this description falls short. The only way to really know Sunny is to immerse oneself in the music. Easy enough, right? ... more
