On Christine and the Queens' 'People, I've Been Sad,' the pop heroine's song is so beautiful that it's easy to get lost in her sadness. See why it's a Song You Need to Know
For as much as she spells it out, though, she also shows how deeply she feels her ennui. Even though the tune is still undeniably a Christine and the Queens song with its fuzzy New Wave synths and dance-y drums, there’s a starkness here that hasn’t been as pronounced in some of her previous songs. Chris has crossed an emotional threshold, singing, “It’s true that, people, I’ve been sad.” But that’s not enough. Because she’s French, the sentiment has to be existential.
She’s never specific about what she’s missed out on or just why she’s so hurt, but just from the way she sings it, you can tell it has decimated her. In the middle of the song, she sings in French about how when she feels something, everything is much stronger, how loneliness has driven crazy. But then again, specificity about her depression wouldn’t make the song any better. At one point she sings, “If you fall apart, then I’m falling behind you”; there’s a codependence in the song. You’re supposed to feel it along with her. When she sings, “I’ve been sad,” the “I” could easily be whoever’s listening to her words.
