Medium Build and Sydney Rose have unveiled their cover of Charli XCX's “Sympathy Is A Knife” today.
The cover, which can be heard here, stems from the forthcoming charity compilation All Things Go: 10 Years, which arrives on November 7. Medium Build and Sydney Rose said this about their cover:
“This song is the most beautiful snapshot of human insecurity. I remember the first time I heard it thinking “omg did she just say she wants to shoot herself?! You can’t say that!” , even though I thought about doing that all the time. I love how honest Charli is about her internal conflict. “I couldn’t even be her if I tried” 🥹 literally. All the wars in our head are so bogus and thoughts are rarely valid at all. This song came at a perfect time where we all wanted to be hot and perfect and bouncing back into life. Brat summer and pink pony club and Espresso. It was all good vibes but Charli also said it’s cool if you’re an insecure piece of s—t. I love her.
Sydney and I related on being insecure little weirdos from neighboring towns in Georgia. I love her. I couldn’t even be Sydney Rose if I tried. But I do want to see her backstage at my boyfriend’s show.”
All proceeds from the charity compilation with go to The Ally Coalition. Digital pre-saves and vinyl pre-orders can be made here.
