Gosh I love Bens voice! It would be cool if they did more songs singing together like this song Sweet Things, I really love it. It's probably my most favorite from this album but I love every song.
Got to hear them do this live last week. They are giving Halestorm a damn tough act to follow every night- so Lzzy and the boys have upped their game in response.
This song from The Pretty Reckless sweet things. Explains pretty well the problem with the sickness with sex offenders in the world today. how they well lore their victims for making you think they're sweet things. parents always say that you shouldn't take candy from strangers such a sweet things they are because this evil knocking at your door. There's a lot of bad things in the world today and this is just one of them. Sincerely James m. Lamb
Evil-knocking at my door Evil-making me its whore I don't mind If you take what's yours but give me mine Evil wants you to know I'm much too young to be old I don't mind If you take what's yours but give me mine Hey there, little girl Come inside. I've got some sweet things Put your hair in curls Paint you up just like a drag queen I don't mind decay You are the knight that saves my day Hey there, little girl Come inside, don't be afraid. I'll keep you safe I'm evil knocking at your door I'm evil making you my whore I don't mind If you take what's yours but give me mine [4x] Hey where are you going? I wasn't through I'm gonna have my way with you I am like decay I rot the ground that guides your way, oh Hey there, little girl Come inside. I've got some sweet things Put your hair in curls Paint you up just like a drag queen How you like me now? Did I succeed and make you proud? Hey there, little girl Come inside, don't be afraid. I'll keep you safe
I remember when the Beatles first came to the U.S. Nothing like it had ever happened before. Music was changed forever. Nothing would ever be the same. I sense the same change coming from this band, The Pretty Reckless. I wish them well.
@@ksipnios_the_original I think their style it's not very striking at first glance in most of their songs you need to listen for a bit until you get the thrill in my opinion
I do agree this song is about rape. But I don't agree they mean it in a bad way. Yes it's disturbing but I feel that's on purpose. I think the band is explaining the temptations of evil. Especially for people who are innocent like the little girl in the song. She gets drawn in because this evil man tells her she will get everything she wants but she is too young to understand how it's wrong. Rape unfortunately is one of the worst kinds of evil because it messes someone up for life and takes a very long time to get over. That's what I feel this song is addressing
@@popsicko6493 That's the thing. Some people murder for a reason, for example if someone had his entire family murdered and then he avenges them, I'm not saying it's preferable to working through the law but you can understand it. Sure, it's a highly specific case, but it's there. But nobody ever rapes for a reason. It's nothing but a dark, evil desire that cares not for the harm it causes.
I think it’s about exploitation. And the thing is - music is like movies. It captures aspects of human behaviour but doesn’t mean the artist supports it or condones it. A horror movie Director is not some serial killer himself or herself
THEORY OF THE SONG MEANING This song is a twisted story of a little boy actually, I figured the little "girl" is a boy because girls can't be drag queens and in the live shows the intro would say "Peter and the wolf" (and wolf referring to the pedophile). So it's starts off with "evil knocking at my door, evil making me it's whore" obviously it's talking about the pedophile abusing the little boy. Then the " hey there little girl"part is where it gets really sick and sad because the little boy says "....you are the knight that saves my day" and the pedo replays with ".... Don't be afraid I'll keep you safe", it shows how the pedophile has manipulated the little boy into thinking he is a "knight" a "savior", so the boy has only him as inspiration only him to look up too. So the boy follows in his "knights" footsteps. You can see he does this when the song says " I'm evil knocking at your door, I'm evil making you my whore". The little boy has grown up to become a pedophile himself. Then the most sad part happeneds the little boy says " HEY WHERE YOU GOIN', I WASNT THROUGH IM GOIN HAVE MY WAY WITH YOU" this means he's done it he's officially followed in his footsteps and mollested another kid. Then the original pedophile says " I am like decay, I rot the ground that guides your way" he's saying that he's done well on teaching him how to learn his ways then the kid says " do you like me now? Did I succeed and make you proud?" This is the boy saying are you proud of me? Have I done well?.. And then it ends. It's a sad twisted story
Actually, I was reading an article about a book called "Lolita" at Wikipedia, and the article said that the music Sweet Things from The Pretty Reckless was inspired by Lolita's story
Sweet Things is the precursor to Take Me Down. This is the temptation of rock n' roll that leads to selling her soul for it. It's a kick-ass metaphor. Listen to it again with this in mind.
Really? Just that? It makes me want to summon a Serpent-God-Dragon made of lightning and.... just BREAK this goddamn miserable fuckin' Universe.... break it like it was an Asian university student, like, the fifth or sixth one that day.
You should release a music video for this song placed deep in the woods where Taylor is a sexy red riding red hood and Ben is the big bad wolf stalking her on a Harley Davidson!
Ο Μάριος Have to admit, that sounds like it'd be a cool video. I don't care if Taylor is sexy red riding hood or normal red riding hood (knowing her, she'd choose sexy) but I imagined that in my head. Perfect.
yes 100% YES ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY YES. LET'S DO IT. SHE SINGS LIKE A FREAKING ANGEL BUT ACTS LIKE SATANS CONSORT I LOVE HER SO MUCH so it just fits her perfectly. 😂👍
Haha no, I got interested in the band because I heard follow me down on the radio and checked out more of their work - sweet things was on the list and instantly feel in love, and now here we are today
Evil had knockin' at my door Evil making me its whore I don't mind if you take what's yours But give me mine Evil, want you to know I'm much too young to be owned I don't mind if you take what's yours But give me mine Hey there, little girl Come inside I've got some sweet things Put your hair in curls Paint you up just like a drag queen I don't mind decay? You are the knight that saves my day Hey there, little girl Come inside, don't be afraid, I'll keep you safe I'm evil Knocking at your door I'm evil Making you my whore I don't mind if you take what's yours But give me mine I am like decay I rot the ground to guide your way, oh Hey there, little girl Come inside I've got some sweet things Put your hair in curls Paint you up just like a drag queen How you like me now? Did I succeeded in making you proud? Hey there, little girl Come inside don't be afraid, I'll keep you safe
i discovered this band thanks to a fanfic vid but hell i love that girl who made that vid because thanks to her i discovered this band. Sorry for my english
I don't think he should lead, his voice is most amazing in small bits IMO because it shines when heavy and dramatic, which would be overwhelming for an entire song. But I definitely do want to hear more of him in TPR songs.
Oh, my God, there _needs_ to be a music video to this song!! It's too brilliant for it to be crazy not to have one! It can take place in a hotel that looks like the one from _The Shining_ with Taylor looking scared & paranoid as the 'evil' Ben knocks at the door, trying to reach her. When Ben's part comes up, he seduces her by caressing her face and stroking/braiding her hair, and Taylor, gazing, slowly enters his room. Probable making-out ensues. And by then, Taylor has become one with him, and the two embrace when the song ends. Plus, during the "I don't mind..." parts, I can imagine Taylor being pulled by two, black inky arms that are emerging from walls from each side. That, or having her sway her head in her hands back and forth.

Love her scream section at the end. totally forgot how good it is
taylor's screamo in minute 03:31 omfg
germanottx that scream is the meaning of my existence.
I think it's fantastic of them to upload the entire new album to their channel. Thanks TPR.
Just when you think Taylor couldn't be any better... boom. This song, man. Creeptastic... yet one hell of a track!
I couldn't say it besser. Great comment
👍🏻
Second this
The lyrics in this song are so demented..... but... but...but I love it!😏
Give me the S
The way she says “evil” just gives it a whole new and much more dramatic meaning
Gosh I love Bens voice! It would be cool if they did more songs singing together like this song Sweet Things, I really love it. It's probably my most favorite from this album but I love every song.
Ben should sing moree 😫
Their band fell apart sadly…
frr
Couldn’t agree more. As a guitarist he’s my role model I love this dude
@@ThatOneWeirdFriend1
saw them live yesterday. As an opening for AC/DC.
And Taylor should scream more
Got to hear them do this live last week. They are giving Halestorm a damn tough act to follow every night- so Lzzy and the boys have upped their game in response.
This music should be played in radio!
It does. That's how I got into 'em.
What station?

Sphinx Rising I highly doubt that I'm a moron.. Dumbass listen to the lyrics.. Sexually seducing her in the song
Sphinx Rising c
That theme appears in Taylor's songs very often
No, this songs tells about drug addiction. Here Ben is as a dealer, Taylor - as a lost in addiction soul.
Just saw them in concert last night and this song stuck out the most! Had to come back
Simply amazing song! The changes are incredible!!!
This song is so incredible. Don't understand why it's not hit as others.
The content and the back ground story that's implied would be rather disturbing for some audience
I was looking for a different song but found this, much better than the other one
Evil-knocking at my door
Evil-making me its whore
I don't mind
If you take what's yours but give me mine
Evil wants you to know
I'm much too young to be old
I don't mind
If you take what's yours but give me mine
Hey there, little girl
Come inside. I've got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen
I don't mind decay
You are the knight that saves my day
Hey there, little girl
Come inside, don't be afraid. I'll keep you safe
I'm evil knocking at your door
I'm evil making you my whore
I don't mind
If you take what's yours but give me mine
[4x]
Hey where are you going?
I wasn't through
I'm gonna have my way with you
I am like decay
I rot the ground that guides your way, oh
Hey there, little girl
Come inside. I've got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen
How you like me now?
Did I succeed and make you proud?
Hey there, little girl
Come inside, don't be afraid. I'll keep you safe
Thanks
listened to this so many times and i still feel uneasy every single time
BENS VOICE 💛💎💛💎💛
My all time favorite song from The Pretty Reckless!!! Great cardio song at the gym!!
Also for a daily performance, indeed Rock is always the best music for. Plus the voice of this Angel. CAN'T EVEN!
+aprilmay90585 you should listen to goin down
That rhythm. Love it. First notes made my blood run faster. And the voice there's just not the right words for that, incredable.
Definitely my favorite TPR song. For all those loving the guy's voice, listen to their song, "Cold Blooded".
This is kinda stupid but , is this one song ? Or is it some parts of all of the album together ?
@@ikilaki6628 One song 🤘
Ben's voice
another great song !!! you rule, guys !!!
The fact that when I was 10 I could only go to sleep while listening to ONLY this album is kind of amazing... I'm still like that.
This is creppy af... I like it!
I don't mind decay, you are the night that saves my day.
isn't it knight instead of night?
I've always liked to thought it as night instead of knight
Sri_876 it is knight though
@@rosary6521 if it was night, then it wouldnt be a play on words and less nice on the ear
In all honesty, I don't know why, but this is my favourite song off the album so far
Hard Core Tune. Awesome vocals,Taylor
They should make a music video with this track
I remember when the Beatles first came to the U.S. Nothing like it had ever happened before. Music was changed forever. Nothing would ever be the same. I sense the same change coming from this band, The Pretty Reckless. I wish them well.
+Ron Jackson True, although their marketing lacks inexplicably.
Ron Jackson thank you from her fans!
@@ksipnios_the_original I think their style it's not very striking at first glance
in most of their songs you need to listen for a bit until you get the thrill in my opinion
best song EVER
3:19 onwards is a whole mood 😮
My god Ben's voice is so perfect *.*
Taylor should definitely scream more 🤩
THE SONG IS HEAVY
I love the picture they chose for these videos: A still from "Heaven Knows" with Taylor looking like a total boss over these kids.
simplesmente Rock!! Demais não só essas vozes Lindas, mas as composições e misturas de ritmos na música... FODA!
Great song. Love the way it changes up styles. Not quite up there with Ozzy's "No more tears" but definitely in the same epic league.
I do agree this song is about rape. But I don't agree they mean it in a bad way. Yes it's disturbing but I feel that's on purpose. I think the band is explaining the temptations of evil.

I heard some say it's about pedophilia but I don't know, I always thought it was just about temptation and embracing evil
hoje faz 9 anos do lançamento do álbum, o melhor do the pretty reckless
I can't listen to this without hearing " hey there little gorl" in Gru's voice
This is one their best! The Pretty Reckless flipping Rocks! The #1 rock band now!
God, his voice is hot.
are you talking about Ben?
Ariana Corbalán yeah ofcourse.
I keep hearing " I don't mind the gay" at 2:00 XDD But that might be cuz im gay af o.O
***** Haha unfortunately no. It's " I don't mind decay ". :D
My favorite album I could listen to it all day

Really need a Love button option. Love your music.
Ben needs to sing more!!!!
Awesome instrumentals Pretty Reckless
you just reinvent rules of the rock with this song
Tema de abertura do Alto Falante. Um ícone no Brasil
This intro makes me want to just thrash and punch shit...
RanndomUndead I know right !!! :-D
it makes me want to have hot sex on drugs and alcohol (with a bit of bondage maybe) lul xD

Evil had knockin' at my door
Evil making me its whore
I don't mind if you take what's yours
But give me mine
Evil, want you to know
I'm much too young to be owned
I don't mind if you take what's yours
But give me mine
Hey there, little girl
Come inside I've got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen
I don't mind decay?
You are the knight that saves my day
Hey there, little girl
Come inside, don't be afraid, I'll keep you safe
I'm evil
Knocking at your door
I'm evil
Making you my whore
I don't mind if you take what's yours
But give me mine
I am like decay
I rot the ground to guide your way, oh
Hey there, little girl
Come inside I've got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen
How you like me now?
Did I succeeded in making you proud?
Hey there, little girl
Come inside don't be afraid, I'll keep you safe
This is my favorite Pretty Reckless song
My favorite song on the whole album ♡♡
House on the hill
Needed a video for this! Great track.
bens voice is just 😍
I LOVE this song so much! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN CONCERT!
Minha música favorita❤ Poesia Macabra!
This song is so perfect ❤
i discovered this band thanks to a fanfic vid but hell i love that girl who made that vid because thanks to her i discovered this band. Sorry for my english
I discovered them from a fanfic as well, lol
Lost_My _Self_ same ! Lol
Best song from the album followed closely by 'House on a Hill'
I have fallen in love with the pretty reckless ❤❤❤
Ikr
Love the free verse, taste the music
I’m listening to this high off some spliff. What a killer track. Headbanger
Pretty Reckless songs bring me to life...feed my soul...give me a reason to live...Taylor Momsen is God \m/
The next album needs two songs with Ben and one leading with his vocals because let's face it.
HIS. VOICE. IS. SEX.
Night Shade I agree, he did good in this song! Surprised me a little :)
Agreed
I don't think he should lead, his voice is most amazing in small bits IMO because it shines when heavy and dramatic, which would be overwhelming for an entire song.
But I definitely do want to hear more of him in TPR songs.
This song slays. I love the duality - going from the heavy start to the creepy bit and then back again. Reminds me of Alice in chains actually
His voice is sex. Her voice is sex. Perfection with the two of them.
This is sick man
It's amazing!
I can relate to this song so much.
This song needs a video♥
How can I get tattooed a whole song I still love this so much aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
mi favorita me gustaría que sacarán más musicas la verdad son un gran grupo
One of the best songs of the album. :)
It's like it starts off as Knights of Cydonia, and then morphs into Phycho.
In good and bad times i just love your sound i can cry my soul out or be the happiest human alive you musik fits
come on! this song SCREAMS for some alice in chains like vocal harmonics. do it! it melts faces!
It's amazing you will be at Rock of the Range! I wish I could see it, I live in Columbus but never have the money to go.
Still in 2022 one of their the most underated song
I like!, I love this Rock!, good taste and feeling!, good elements of modern hard rock!.Greetings from Patagonia Argentina!
Cant believe im only finding this now
PQP ESSA MÚSICA É MUITO BOAAAAAAA
Your music is so good I listen to it all day long also I'm a kid and listen to that cool u my fav singer forev
The vocals at 0:38 remind me of Alice In Chains.
Michaela ME TOO!
This song is amazing

This is like the theme song for Lestat from Interview With The Vampire if put in the right context.
Does anybody know does anybody know what is written on the bottom of the tombstone for the new death by Rock and Roll Cover
Death by rock and roll acronym DXRNR iguess the x stands for by?
I agree!
Reminds me of the movie Hard Candy
i love that movieee
That movie is AWESOME
Tu banda es increíble,super eléctrica.me encanta su música.
This song is gorgeous.
