Sofie Mathiasen – Sindy – Press Kit

The Song

While the world is getting ready for the Barbie movie, 18yr old Sofie Mathiasen decided to tell the story of ‚Sindy‘, Barbie’s lesser known competitor. Sindy hit the market in 1963, but despite several makeovers never quite managed to steal the spotlight.

“Sindy” is about being treated second best but more so communicating, from a young female artist’s perspective, the powerful message: „I am not your toy!“

This is the voice of a generation as loud as it gets.

The Words

You’re so good at making me feel like I’m special
Lifting me up from the stone cold ground 
Around you I feel like I may just have potential 
Until she shows up and you leave me falling down
But I’m getting tired of feeling like her understudy 
I wish you’d leave me be
And I’m getting tired of you having eyes for her
When I just wish you’d see me 

Well I’m not your toy
To be tossed in a corner 
Whenever you lose interest 
Cuz if she’s your favorite 
I don’t blame you she’s amazing 
But quit making me feel second best
I don’t think I’m worth much 
But I’m worth more than this

Last week I caught myself trying to dress like her
I thought if I did you might take me off the shelf
Well I’m getting tired of feeling like her understudy 
I wish you’d leave me be

And stop treating me like toy
You can toss in the corner 
Whenever you lose interest
If she’s your favorite 
I don’t blame you she’s amazing
But quit making me feel second best
I don’t think I’m worth much 
But I’m worth more than this

Well I’m getting tired of feeling like her understudy 
I wish you’d leave me be
And I’m getting tired that you’ve always been my first choice 
When your first choice will never be me

Well I’m not your toy
To be tossed in a corner 
Whenever you lose interest 
Cuz If she’s your favorite 
I don’t blame you she’s amazing 
But quit making me feel second best

Well I’m not your toy
To be tossed in a corner 
Whenever you lose interest 
If she’s your favorite 
I don’t blame you she’s amazing 
But quit making me feel second best
I don’t think I’m worth much 
But I’m worth more than this
