Sonic Youth - Candle Lyrics
[Thurston]
I see a dog star divin' at his magic, snatchin'
Keeps me up awake go crystal cracking
I can't wait
I can't stay, a candle
I'm the Cocker on the rock
Wind is whipping through my stupid mop
I see a falling snowgirl walking Broadway
Turns the corner at 14th and I know there's no way
It's alright
It's alight candle
And I know she'll be okay by Sunday
Humming bash starts shining
In your electric clock
It's safe to say, candle
Tonight's the day, candle
It's alright now, candle
The wind's away, candle
Never thought I'd see a dog star falling
I'm the Cocker on the rock
Wind is whipping through my stupid mop

Sonic Youth Candle Comments
“Guys, I have this really cool four-measure riff in 9/4 time signature, but no song to put it too.”
“Well I have this really awesome song that needs a 9/4 time-signature and could probably use it also in the bridge before the last verse...”
Every sonic youth album there's a song on.there that takes me back to memories I forgot about. Love the song✌🏿❤ l love sonic youth
BEST BAND EVER AND SONG !!
hasn't anybody else in the world shockingly noticed that the expression "stupid mop" was here used before that delirious pearl jam's song in 1994? Well not really a song in that case - just pieces of phrases taken from interviews of kids in mental hospitals. Idk but I'm uncomfortable
Sin lugar a dudas el mejor álbum de SY, y el más influyente en el indie rock de los 90,s Una puta Obra Maestra, 10/10
I love the catchy beats you can dance to over their super creative Fender guitar tapestry.
anyone getting those chaotic Velvet underground vibes?
Just from almost every SY song ever. Haha. Right on.
C, G#, G, C, C, A
The best song/album that was ever played out of tune.
Yea Sonic Youth always use alternate tunings this ones in C,G#,G,C,C,A
I love Sonic Youth. let us all take a moment to appreciate the wonderful woman that is Kim Gordon :) <3
who the HELL was that 14th dislike???
Maybe it'$
'america'$ drive-in youthe'
/???-???-????
It's safe to say candle tonight's the day candle it's all right candle the winds away candle. 😎
I see a dog start divin' at his magic, snatchin'
Keeps me up awake, go crystal-cracking
I can't wait
I can't stay, a candle
Gotta change my mind before it burns out
I'm the Cocker on the rock
Wind is whipping through my stupid mop
I see a falling snow girl walking Broadway
Turns the corner at 14th and I know there's no way
It's alright
It's alight, candle
And I know she'll be okay by Sunday
I'm the Cocker on the rock
Humming bash starts shining
In your electric clock
It's safe to say, candle
Tonight's the day, candle
It's alright now, candle
The wind's away, candle
Never thought I'd see a dog star falling
I'm the Cocker on the rock
Wind is whipping through my stupid mop
The Blissful Zombie I believe Thurston is referring to his hair.
Gotta change my mind before it burns out
Candle (it's the song by) -- Sonic Youth (idiot)
At 3:00 now I know where the Pantera Cemetery Gates riff come from
Phil A. did once claim to be a Smiths fan, so I guess you never know... :-)
There's something a little off about the vocals in this song, which makes "Teenage Riot" my go-to from this album. But the instrumentals on "Candle", especially the vocal-free section from 2:45 - 4:20, are just awesome.
Candle youth
as good as it gets...
Don't like it? Then, take it up with the man upstairs. His name is Yeshua, and he came for the foolish things like me. What are you? Perfect? Get off paint thinner/Inhalants. It makes you susceptible to the spewing of DIARRHEA FROM THE MOUTH. I mean. Just Get off while u can. Be a REAL friend not a TURD. Buzz off!
what...
mia Rok Just because you like gritty music doesn't mean you gotta do all that crystal sweetheart
mia Rok What the fuck did I just read? OK. I’ve got this to say to you: STAY. OFF. THE. DRUGS. Especially Crystal Meth. Jeez...
HEY, suck on this: 🌶 Or a 🍌. IF having undeniablely amazing taste in music( which you'd ONLY know.. If u REALLY knew me. And which you know NOTHING of me).ROFL 😆😂😂😛!! Which makes whatever case/judgement against me weak. If that makes me a TWEAKER... then I'm guilty as charged 🤘🏻. What do you care? Your Wearing a beautiful: 🎯 And rockin out with my COCK OUT!! Loving who I am and laughing at silly insecure haters. Good tast in music. I'll give you that but random hate or willful jealousy ?? I do not accept. Child you need YESHUA.
mia Rok who r u talking to
mia Rok and r u ok
It's called meth and the guys on the corner have it.
Have any internet cryptographers deciphered this yet?
How do you even go about writing a song like this? "Hey guys, I've just written the catchiest rock song of the last 20 years" "yeah it's ok but it needs an even better intro"
agreed, it is that good
I'm pretty sure that you need to sell your soul at the crossroads, and take lots of drugs, before you can even think about how to write a song like this. lol....... Satan didn't take Thurston's soul at age 27 though, but maybe he is a big fan ;) and wanted to hear more music.
I absolutely love my crysTALkarking! AND BEING that cocker on that rock! lol
mia Rok fucking tweeker
@afauxican_american LMAO
3rd song I ever heard from them and i knew something special was there.
Great song.
This song is like doing ecstasy for the first time
No dude meth, that's what the songs about and if you've done speed you'd get it, adderall used to be my favorite drug probably cause these guys were my favorite band but that favoritism wore out quick once i saw how damaging it is to the heart
I've heard this song in my dreams many times
You sure you're not sleeping through your alarms buddy?
saw them at Coachella 2007. they opened with this song.
creekandseminole must have been so sweet.
Damn! Must've been a GREAT opening!!
That intro.
I remember the first time I heard this song
+iconremedy The first song I ever heard by SY, then it was no turning back..Thanks.
Man I love it when songs that start out mellow and delicate become agitated and noisy.
Que grans!!
I'm the Cocker, on the rock.
Me encanta esta canción!
A mOODY-Echo rock song.....whatever that is people....
this song grew on me big time
me too ma brotha, 100 times a day
this is awesome
similar riff to street spirit
+OLD MAN Brocklesby Other way around, broh.

Yeah but street spirit is better
once you go sonic youre never catatonic
fuckin poser
this is my celebration song
