The Sundays' musical career kicked off like a latter-day
fairytale back in the summer of 1988. Songwriters David
Gavurin and Harriet Wheeler had recently moved from Bristol
to London, where they'd written some material for a
four-piece band and teamed up with bassist Paul Brindley
and drummer Patrick Hannan. The plan at this stage was
simply to gain some live experience before even thinking
about trying to attract record company interest.
But at the band's first-ever gig -- a support slot at the
Camden Falcon -- music journalists there to review the
headliners ended up focusing on the opening act. After rave
reviews in the New Musical Express, Melody More...
Poetry and verse reflect our longings and set us apart from animals. This song was written from the heart and whenever I listen to it, I feel sad for mankind, unrequited love, thwarted ambitions, life's brevity and the invariable cruelty that goes hand in hand with existence.
great song.. I was listening to the song for years on a local radio... I always wanted to know the name and downloaded it... yesterday I was singog the first part of the song..at work! And finally i got it.. Nice song..happy!
i really love this song. plus, the person who told me to look it up said it would become one of my favorite songs. psychic much? but its hard not to sing it with her british accent on like the "its that little souvenir of a terrible year" i always sing it like she does haha

A Gem. The background music, melody and lyrics combine wonderfully. The simple guitar riff works because the melody is fairly elaborate for a pop song. Bass anchors it down and drums are also pretty simple, but add emphasis when needed.
As with many good songs, the lyrics are ambiguous. Obviously something went wrong, perhaps romantic infidelity, but it's not very clear. Also not clear what is ending. Is it the strong love affair or is it the "devil's" infidelity. The song doesn't say and different listeners will interpret it differently. I will say this, these lyrics help explain why neither the group nor the 2 main members have recorded since 1997.
Simply incredible | Reviewer: Brian
------ About artist/band Sundays
I discovered The Sundays, oddly, during a summer job in '03. I heard "Finest Hour" over in house music list, and wondered who this band was? I listened to the lyrics, and did a search. Finding out it was a group called "The Sundays," I immediately went out and bought "Reading, Writing, Rithmatic," and "Blind.". They've remained in my CD changer, iPod and cellphone ever since! Such tragedy that Harriet and David no longer have plans to record. One can only hope! :)

This song is incredible. In fact this whole album (Blind) gives me a nearly womb-like sense of comfort, every time I listen for over 10 years now.
Wonderful.

This track was murdered by those hijackers! Do I remember correctly that this album was the biggest selling in London(for a time)?

Harriet's voice is enough to make me cry... in a good way! | Reviewer: A Certain Someone
------ About the song cry performed by Sundays
This song from The Sundays' final album shows their growth since their first album. I don't know if I want to call it growth though, because I liked Harriet's lilting, free-soaring vocals with an unpredictable melody. However, "Cry" stands on its own, and i like it because it's catchy and lyrically beautiful. And Harriet's voice and David's guitars are still a perfect pair.
One of my favorites of "Static and Silence."

I just love the siren singing in the end of it. I know some people are just irritated by it, but I LOVE it. It makes the song, and it's the perfect ending.

I couldn't agree more. There is something about the chemistry of the band unique sound that just resolutes and flourishes from within. I am just learning to appreciate the hidden treasures of such a powerful group.

The Sundays took a Rolling Stones song and made it better. Her voice is alot more "haunting" then Micks was.

------ About artist/band Sundays
I saw them play in Toronto at the pheonix concert theatre on their "Blind" tour. They were perfect! The sound, the lighting....all awesome! The place was packed too. The band started a lot later than I expected and I figured in order to catch my bus back to Hamilton, I was gonna have to leave about the time the Sundays were gonna hit the stage. I decided I could hang out somewhere after the show until an early morning bus... It turned out to be worth the trouble. They did every song I can think of from their first two albums to date, except "skin and bones". Someone in the front requested it and Harriet graciously declined. I got the impression she had gotten tired of singing it.
As beautiful and sonic as this band sounds on a CD, they are their own equals when performing on stage. I actually give the band and that show a 10 out of 10.

Very poignant - terrible lyrics, but it all hangs together fantastically. Harriete is at her best, as this is one of the songs of the best album of them all. God I miss them.

I know it's a Rolling Stones cover. It's a great cover to a great song. The Sunday's whole album Blind is excellent.
