Sunny War | 'Whole' | Western AF

Western AF presents Sunny War "Whole"
...
“I feel like there are two sides of me...One of them is very self-destructive, and the other is trying to work with that other half to keep things balanced.” Folk punk god, that is Sunny War is your next underground fix. While I'm constantly challenged to believe people in this genre, Sunny doesn't make us think twice that her words are truth.

I've never seen guitar picking like hers before. Remarked as a "married acoustic punk to country blues" style, it's the best way we can explain what we're seeing and feeling through her performance. But like other performances on this channel, these videos don't give it justice. It has to be seen live in front of you to believe it's not an illusion. Believe us or die.

It should be said that Sunny War and Tré Burt also gave us a duo performance that'll be hitting the small screen very soon. Be on the lookout.

Lyrics:
Don't you work yourself, yourself to death
Take a break from the man-made hell
To catch a breath today
Could be the last you know, happy's how you oughta go
No pay could ever buy your soul
Ever make you whole
Don't you fake no smile if it ain't true
Crass said, "I am she, he is he
But you're the only you today"
Could be the last you know, happy's how you oughta go
No pay could ever buy your soul
Ever make you whole
Don't you worry child, don't hold no stress
Don't let nothing steal your smile
This world's a mess today
Could be the last you know, happy's how you oughta go
No pay could ever buy your soul
Ever make you whole
Don't you waste it, babe, don't waste no time
Protect your heart and soul
Protect your mind today
Could be the last you know, happy's how you oughta go
No pay could ever buy your soul
Ever make you whole
Today could be the last you know, happy's how you oughta go
No pay could ever buy your soul
Ever make you whole today
Could be the last you know, happy's how you oughta go
No pay could ever buy your soul
Ever make you whole

Those fingers are connected to another realm and time. Fantastically Yesterday tomorrow and forever

[KenneyCmusic]

Her fingerpicking is on point, and her voice is lovely.

[yearsout]

"No pay could ever buy your soul" Damn that hits pretty hard.

[dollarsaday]

Wow - at work all day and come home to find this gem on my YouTube feed. Her voice is liquid gold and she fingerpicks like nobody’s business. Beautiful performance.

[shaneleroy]

When you started singing I teared up. This is why I love music.

[burmy]

Another absolute gem. I constantly tell people that there's more great music now than ever but you won't find it in a corporate snake oil sellers coat. You have to search. Thank you for finding all these great artists.

[RyanBetts]

Songs like this are my favorite part of Western AF. A beautiful moment of performance I'd never have stumbled across. Thank you for this song and channel!

[brianjankowski]

Just saw her open up for Iron and Wine in New Haven. She was incredible. I had never heard of her, now I’m going through her entire discography.

[c.detwiler]

Instant chills! Wasn’t even playing for 20 seconds 😍

[BenStarner]

I saw her in Everett, WA last Summer and was blown away. Met her in the green room after having played with Karl Blau. She’s a lovely person. I’m a huge fan now.

[MilesGannett]

Amazingly beautiful picking and singing! Don't sleep on Sunny War!!!

This should be the stuff radio stations are playing - this channel gives me hope that these artists get the attention they deserve
