Watsky- Sloppy Seconds [Cardboard Castles] 

Still always coming back to listen to this masterpiece

"Show me someone who's got no baggage, I'll show you someone who's got no story." My favorite line. Struck deep for me.

My dad and I listened to all of watskys music together when I was a preteen. I'm now 21, dad sadly passed a few months ago but the memories of listening to watsky with him will never fade.

My wife died in Sept. last year. I have never known anyone as incredible as her. Life without her just feels meaningless. This song always makes me remember every moment we shared, good and bad. Thank you @WATSKY for always finding a way express exactly how I feel.

"And there is not a another place that I would rather be. I'm fucked up just like you are and your fucked up just like me." I love this fucking song.

Really wish I discovered this guy earlier. Damn he's good

anyone else agree that the reason this is such a good song is because you can listen to it when your at your highest moment, and your lowest. At 5 Pm, and 3 am, with or without friends, while depressed, or in love! Its such an amazing song, but the girl who showed it to me was even better :( Still the best song I own

10 years later and Watsky still hits the feels!

Jesus, the cinematography.... Hand lines, to mattress lines, to map lines..... Absolute genius.

This is one of those songs that I end up listening to at 3:00 o'clock in the morning with the feeling of crippling loneliness. That's why I love it so much...

Watsky is not a rapper. He is a true poet. He speaks purely from the heart. Watsky inspires me when I am down. He encourages me to work and live. I don't think he realizes the affect he makes on normal peoples lives. Thank you Watsky for giving me that "extra push" during the day with your music. From one of your true fans.

I thought it was adolescence, but I'm 24 now and this song is still a masterpiece. Tugging at the heart strings...

Im gonna dump a little here, I don't think anyone will actually read this all the way through but I want to write it. I found this song a long time ago, my dad showed it to me. Ever since then I told myself the person id love would be able to be just like this song describes. I have gone through many heartaches thinking I finally found them up till recently. I was single for over a year and then he walked in, the thing is I didn't realize how accurate this song would end up being. He had been in a car wreck in September, and even though it wasn't his arm injured the most, he broke his femur. I've been able to have the honor of watching him heal, to take his first steps since the accident. Its amazing to finally see him getting off the crutches. So I suppose I was waiting for somebody to fit the whole song, not just the aesthetic. He cried the first time I sent him it. Its been our song, ill fall asleep on call to him singing it, and we share the same favorite line "im fucked up just like you are, and you're fucked up just like me". This song hits us hard, especially as a long distance couple. I love him so much, and hope he never let's go, cause im not going to.

I've heard a lot of songs that say "you still matter no matter what you've been through" but this is the first time I've really FELT it... this is so uplifting and I love it

This song always punches me square in the gut. It reminds me that I am worthy, I *am* capable of loving and being loved. For all the miles and scars I've gotten in 25 years, I am not less. Thank you, Watsky, for reminding me of that.

I remember the first time hearing this song, it was truly magical. It just has that warm feeling every time you hear it.

He could have my broken heart any day.

My childhood man. I come back to these songs every few months or once a year. Never forget your roots but continue growing. Trees don’t stay with grass even though they start at same place.

From 22 to 32 and this song still great!

As a french man I do not understand allthe lyrics, but the music, your voice, the movie, that's all kind of expressive things that really touch me. I never fought I could love rap music, maybe because I never heard this kind of music enough (I preffer Brutal metal music by the way) But, how you did that was totally great, and in every clips you've done I can feel that expressive sound I love so much. Guy, you're doing a good job!

And the award to the best chorus of any song goes to…

this is my favorite driving song.....

The best people I know are the wounded, the seemingly strange, the outside the box folks, the ones with the raw nerve endings to the world, the ones that feel the deepest, that think the clearest, that have compassion because they have been to the depths of despair at the hands of others yet still reach out to others and love fiercely. Give them here, we can be broken together chillin comfortably with all the skeletons and elephants.

"I don't care where you been how many miles I still love you"...like this is so beautiful it just expresses how there will be someone out there who will appreciate and love you and all the past doesn't matter.... Watsky is just a good soul... I wish more people were like him

When you played this. That was when my heart started beating again.

Parked my truck due to issues with the registration with this CD in the player. 6 weeks later after having driven my suburban around i started my truck to move it, and the stereo came in perfectly on this song, on the line "i dont care where you've been, i still love you". My truck was talking to me through a watsky CD

Years on and this has never gotten old. It’s such a fantastic song.

Honestly, Watsky has improved so much, so quick

this was the first song i ever heard by watsky and i still remember how magical it was lol

10 years ago, I was completely lost. i was divorced, with a 1 year old. I felt like no one would ever be interested in me. The guy that I started dating later dedicated this song to me. We aren't together anymore. But I'm still so grateful for him showing me this song and making me feel like i was worth something❤

In 2018, I had a traumatic car accident that fortunately didn't kill anyone, but threw my life into shit. I still haven't fully recovered from the financial, mental, and emotional effects, but this song helps me cry it out, even if that's not the message of the song. Thanks, Watsky. We love you.

Watsky: the only person who could make sloppy seconds sound deep and appealing

I just got out of a very abusive relationship. It was a year of verbal and emotional abuse until he snapped and put hands on me in front of my daughter. I've been so lost trying to get it together because mothers don't get a day off to break down. I was on my way to the police station when this came on my Amazon music suggestion list. I pulled over to listen to it. I wanted to hear it because I felt it on a molecular level. It was the first thing to make me smile and feel normal. Like maybe this bad patch is a bad patch and that's all. I didn't hurt or feel numb. It was feeling the sun for the first time. I kept playing it. I found the video on RU-vid and I kept sending it to anyone who was sad and hurt or going through some dark shit. This is the first thing I've found that helps. I couldn't eat. I felt suffocated. And then along comes Watsky making me feel like I'm not alone. I can't say thank you enough. It's strange to think that I might not have had it in me to seek help if I didn't hear it. I might not have gone back to my mother. I might have gone back until he put me in the hospital. But I didn't. All because of some 3 minute and change long song promoting the love that you can find in the smallest things we take for granted. I know that big picture its just a song but when everything is dark and you get so desperate that you consider some real bad ideas this kind of art turns in to the difference between life and death. And I'm choosing life.

This video fuels my inner hopeless romantic like no other.

this was my friend Alyssa Cardona’s favourite song. found out at her candlelight, & i recognize sooo many lyrics from her tweets haha. love this. cant stop listening. love you alyssa

this is a certified hood classic

He might not be going anywhere right now, but he definitely went straight into my heart.

Way better than most of the shit on the radio right now. Can't wait to see the day when he gets his awesome messages and crazy talent on there, to show 'em what real art is.

This was the first song i heard from him in 2019. Finally got the chance to see him live in Portland Oregon May 2,2023. I know I'm not a long time fan, ie for over 10plus years, but I'm definitely a hardcore fan of him. He's just such a special human. He is like everyone's best friend who finds him. He speaks to our hearts so much. This song live made my life. He's so incredible. Doesn't matter when you find George Watsky, it just matters that you have found him.❤ He's a gem 💎

"And there's not a single place that I would rather be, I'm fucked just like you are and you're fucked up just like me." ♥️ That line always hits me hard

I love this song so much, because of the irony that I associate with this song, this was my ex-girlfriends favourite song because of how it described our relationship, we are long distance so this song related to us, we were both very broken people, but we helped each other fix ourselves, this was our favourite song because of this. But after a year and a half, she changed, songs like this didn't matter to her, she started not to miss me, I still loved this song but she had changed, long story short, she broke my heart and now I am broken again, yet I still love this song, it makes me sad because it reminds me of how we both felt years ago, but makes me happy because I know I am still me and she is just lost on the wrong path, but I also love the irony, she used to say this song will always describe us, now she's sleeping with everyone and I am yet to find someone that will help me rebuild, but I am happy, I am contempt because I'd rather be alone and sad, than be what she has turned into, thank you Watsky, this song alone has made me feel every emotion possible, that is rare

Thank you so much for writing and sharing this. I've been through a lot of very bad life experiences and ended up with several mental illnesses as a result. I've always thought of myself as a broken burden that no one would ever love, but that changed the day I found this song. The first time I listened to it, I couldn't help crying and listening to it on repeat. Thank you for telling me that I am still worthy of love.

This song makes me oddly sad for some reason but I've still listened to it well over a hundred times. Seriously one of my faves. Watsky's really great.

I'm so sorry for your loss. This song made me cry when I first heard it. I was working at a crappy pizza place in the hood. Missing my best friend who passed away terribly. She had worked at a pizza shop too. This song makes me think of her. 💜💓❤️‍🩹🙏😇

First Watsky song I ever bought. I wish I had found him sooner. But I really love him because he's genuine and his lyrics are so filled with meaning and they're so intelligent.

Not every musician is an artist. The majority of people on the radio I would never consider an artist. But George Watsky is a true artist.

I had a friend that would always play this song. I forgot about it until I just now stumbled upon it. Bless the RU-vid algorithm for letting my find this song again

Years later I still come back to watsky.

My tour guide in Hawaii had this song on her playlist today during sunset and it was one of the most beautiful moments in my life. Much love Watsky from a long time fan

This is one of the most romantic things I've ever seen/heard. Thank you for the reassurance that people like you are still out there.

Anyone here in 2020? This song is still a beautiful piece of art too this day.

Reminds me of skipping school with my best friend and driving around the countryside while smoking a blunt. Miss those days

You really have to listen to this song 10 time to understand everything he means. Its really quite remarkable.

This song gives me hope because I haven't had the best experience with relationships and I'm not skinny. Its nice to know there are still some decent guys out there. Thanks Watsky.

When u just fell in love with watsky even more

As a 30 year old millennial this song should be elected the voice of our generation. Anyone who disagrees likes cars for their paint job.

This is song is so beautifully powerful. I'm stilling reeling from the ending of an incredible relationship, and listening to this song makes me feel so warm inside. Watsky is such a fantastic songwriter.

This song reminds me of one of the most amazing people i have ever met. He helped me thru my divorce from my abusive ex. He was a lot younger than I am. There were so many nights that we would drive around and talk and hike in the dark just cuz. He introduced me to so much music i had never heard of. Told me he didn't care about my past. That i was an amazing person that deserved the best. I sit and listen to this now and think of him and cry tears of longing as well as laughter. The adventures were ones ill never forget.

I forgot about this song. Remember listening to it when it first came out! Watsky you da best!

Why isn't this song all over the place?! This song get's me right in the feels. Broken hearts, give 'em here, give 'em here.

I showed this to a girl I started dating recently, after the song finished she was crying and hugged me and told me that this video reminded her of what she wants from our relationship....It was truly an amazing feeling, thank you WATSKY!

Ok, something has changed in this video. It’s different tonight than 2yrs ago. Anyone else notice? WATSKY, I see you.

At first, I thought the lyrics were really dumb but then I found out what they mean. Powerful.

The energy in the room when he plays this live is incredible, like in a flash of light we all suddenly understand each other.

This song illustrates the positive side of second hand or otherwise re-used items, showing that an old object with a bit of character and a story is often more valuable than a brand new, pristine one which has no depth to it - and the same goes for people, too.

I am absolutely obsessed with this song.

My daughter is going through her first break up. Dumped by a Chrisrian for questioning Christianity. I'm sending her this song as an example of what love *SHOULD* look like

Honestly, not only is this one of my favourite songs from George, but this is damn near perfection and one of my all-time favourites.

You deserve to be successful with a song like this. Don't ever lose who you are bud.

Am I the only one who likes the song even more because he edited the video by himself..

I'm really glad this song exists. It's a nice reminder that it's okay to be broken, it's okay to be sad, it's okay to be not okay. No matter how alone you feel, there are people out there for you, and being fucked up doesn't mean you're worth less than you were at the start.

10 years and it never gets old

i would do anything to hear this song for the first time again. if this is you, enjoy it.

I like how this sounds like a legit love song even though the way he says "cold pizza" just comes out so comical XD

6 years later and I'm still listening to the song

This video brought me a sadness at the realization that I may have forgotten how to love.

Watsky, i'm so glad i finally gave you a chance, your music has truly changed my everyday view on life. Especially this song. You're amazing, man. TRULY.

Does anybody else feels the needing to cry whenever you hear to Watsky?

first time hearing this guy and this song makes me happy. I like when people don't limit rap to struggling in a ghetto or how tough the person is, it can be positive and still be real.

Watsky is having a Meet and Greet Tour in December! I'm gonna meet him in December!! Woo!

3:44 I think you just might be the first person ever to do a match cut from arm hair to windmills. Well done.

This is the only love song that sounds like it was actually written by a specific person as a tribute of genuine love to another specific person.

My kids father played this song around me. Loved this song since the first time I ever heard it. Thanks

"show me somebody who says they've got no baggage, I'll show you somebody who's got no story, nothing gory means no glory, but baby please don't bore me" genius, I love this line.

Keep an eye on this guy, he's going places!

Reminds me of a my love. Wish you didn't cheat. I miss you so much.

forever i have a crush on you watsky

@Watsky...Even after a decade, I would stilll absolutely LOVE to pick your brain a little. You and your heart facinate me. ☮️💜

As cheesy as this is going to sound, this song sounds like such a warm hug.

I'm 14 and this dude is my total inspiration right now, I'm in the media center skipping lunch like I always do trying to find some hope...and Watsky's always there when i need him.

Watsky keeps it real, no fluff or trash - just straight talk. You can tell he's ridiculously intelligent and he brings the content with the catchiest delivery. P.S.- the feature artist is the spitting image of Amy Winehouse and I'm in love. #Watsky #Sold

My dad and I used to listen to this song. This is an absolute classic song, thank you so much Watsky + Myrtle Gunderson for all the memories. In May, it’ll be two years of his passing, and I will probably bump this song on that day, May 13.

I think Cardboard Castles is the most important album to ever help me when I needed it. Thanks man.

Watsky, your music really touches close to home, this song in particular. You are a breath of fresh air in an industry full of stale musty watered-down copycats. Thank you.

This song helps me with my isolation issues and the hatred I carry around toward myself for the things I've done. Watsky your music has saved my life so many times. Keep it real.

Ever since I came across this song.. woof. I feel like I align so well with it, for my SO and I. Honestly looking for more love songs like this that aren’t soppy, but heartfelt, offbeat. ❤

This was the first song I heard of his. The song I had in my head when I fell in love, the song I heard when I lost her, and still my favourite song. Bitter sweet man.

God it's been 9 years

I always come back to this song to remind myself no one is perfect , my brother use to say “ everyone is perfect because they aren’t perfect so it makes them perfect “ I use to get brain fooked & now I realize what he meant when I was younger he was 10 when he said that .

Caught his show in Vans Warped Tour 2017, in Shakopee, MN. He was so good to his fans! The show was off the hook and he seemed to love his fans as much as they loved him. Amazing performer! Nothing Gory Means No Glory.
