Lyrics

Someone's built a candy castle for my sweet sixteen

"Sweet Sixteen" is a single from Whiplash Smile. It’s a softer, more introspective track compared to his usual high-energy rock songs, showing a more tender and emotional side of Idol, having a mellow, acoustic-driven sound with a hint of folk influence. The song is inspired by a true story – the tale of Edward Leedskalnin, a Latvian-American man who built the Coral Castle in Florida as a tribute to a lost love, a woman who had left him when he was 26 and she was 16. His devotion and heartbreak moved Idol, who wrote Sweet Sixteen as a reflection on unrequited love and longing. View wiki
