About Candy

"Candy" is a song by Ash, released as the fourth single from their album Free All Angels on October 1, 2001. It was released as a single CD (released on 2CD formats, the first of which being an enhanced CD) as a 7" vinyl (which was limited edition and came with a numbered picture gatefold sleeve), as well as on DVD format. Although Candy did only slightly better than previous single "Sometimes", reaching number 20 on the UK Singles Chart and number 25 in Ireland, it was considered a success due to it being released a large period after the album, and the fact it helped sell many copies of the said album. "Candy" sees Ash experiment with new territory in an emotion filled track. It samples The Walker Brothers track "Make It Easy On Yourself". Wheeler has said about the sample: "It's on a song called 'Candy' that we rewrote about four times 'Cos we couldn't get it right. We tried some samples and that fitted perfectly. It lifted the song up and we danced around the studio for two days seriously drunk".

Candy, such a joy to me
Inner city lights, I cannot sleep
Oh candy, sweetest remedy
Only you can ease my troubled dreams
Angel, all people are the same
Caught up in bitterness and blame
Oh candy, on dark and lonely days
I hear your voice whispering my name

Don't you know its alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own

Angel of the summer stars
I will always see you safe from harm
Candy, we'll never be apart
Night and day your constant in my heart

Don't you know its alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own

Oh candy, my dreams
Oh candy, my dreams
Oh candy, my dreams
Oh candy

Candy, pure as driven snow
Come to me, you are not alone
Oh candy, you're everything to me
You and I will always be free

Don't you know its alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
It's alright to be alone
Don't you know its alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
It's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
It's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
