THE SUNDAYS
These guys really stuck out like a sore thumb in the 90's. You would have to been tone deaf to miss them. MTV was stuck. They were showing YO MTV RAPS, ( a format which would later totally dominate the entire network ). MTV was also showing a lot of hair bands and Manchester bands were merging onto the college scene.
The Sundays dazzled the charts with their thought provoking songs. They were a blossoming flower in this torid landscape -- the one glimmering hint of a humanistic sound. But it would prove to be a very short flash of light.
The airwaves were about to be trampled over by a new force of pop sound. Nirvana. And its presence would kill out all creativity for the next ten years. Commercial radio would give birth to its offspring. Tuneless, angst ridden gristle unfit for any century. BOring, dull and full of hatred.
The Sundays touched human emotion. They were not afraid of it. This is why they stuck out of the crowd. They radiated pure human energy.
Here is what others have said:
"It is not often that a video portrays the feel and texture of a song as well as this one does. When viewing it you can sense the warmth and sincerity of the music. A work like this was all too rare in the noisy, headache, techno decade that was the '90s. "
"Harriet Wheeler's voice should be kept in a museum in London, it's a national treasure. "
