  • This song made me cry..... I LOVE IT! :))

  • I can't thank you enough. I've been a fan of theirs for over 20 years but just now took the time to track down all their unreleased/B-sides. Of the eight songs I got, this is by far my favorite - gave me chills. I created a playlist - it's on my channel if you're interested.

  • this is a very beautiful song and the lyrics speak to me a lot....!

  • I will be soaring like a bird.....

  • wow. never saw the lyrics to this before. the b-sides to S&S were the darkest The Sundays did....this one is really good....

  •  Very hearttouching...

  • Hello...

    I have had this song on my computer for years...BUT it recently crashed and I cant find it anywhere!

    Can someone PLEASE send it to me!!!????

  • @paulystew100 serioously. does anyone know where to get b-sides and other releases? i believe they released a disk called Cry which i cant find.

  • @asenseofhate Do you possibly live in the UK????

  • @paulystew100 'fraid not my friend.

  • @asenseofhate oh collector huh? I was just going to say Cry is on their 1997 album before they went on hiatus

  • Who cares? Great Music! That's all that matters.

  • this song means so much to me x

  • Thanks for posting this. New song I had not heard. One of their best IMHO. So hard to fit all their best onto three albums. Hopefully with their kid(s) getting older they will get back into the studio sometime soon. Their absence is a huge loss to music. One of the true class bands out of the UK in the last 25 years. They couldn't write a bad song if they tried. Every tune is a gem. Harriet is what God sounds like when he answers our prayers.

  • Just found out today that my best friend that I've had since I was 6 years old, has passed away. Listening to music and it led me here. What a beautiful voice. Why don't we have music like bands were making 20 years ago anymore?

  • @tryx33 I hope you find peace in music as I do. Try & keep your chin up :)

  • Aren't we all just one love short of happiness?

  • ive been a fan of theres for a few years and they always save me in bad times..this song has helped me tonight thanks xxxxx

  • i love that band so much! sure miss good songs around here.

  • yes deff should have been on static and silence i keep comming back to it !!!!!!

    BRILL :)

  • The song make me miss some one deeply...thank you "YOU" who make me know how beautiful of this song..I love it .

  • This is a truly wonderful Sundays B-Side, one of many, amazed this was not on Static & Silence, was too strong a song to be left off...a shame, it's definitely worth hunting down all 4 Static & Silence B Sides they are all wonderful.

  • I just want to drown in here voice.

  • I wish I could hear some new music from them, but thanks for this. The manic depression this song describes is how everyones life is like, just speeded up is all. It's life. Thanks!

  • i wish this song would be 1 hour long. i've been clicking replay almost 6 times already!

  • I've recently fallen in love with this song. very beautiful.

  • love.....LOVE this song. wish it was easier to get a hold of. : (

  • The song called "Joy" The Sundays did is also very well done. It's interesting how the lyrics are interpreted by Harriet Wheeler.

  • can you put this up without the embedding disabled, or is it available without embedding disabled, i want to post it to someone, ty

  • Try it now :)

  • thankyou, and thankyou for posting it is a beautiful song

  • Happy Birthday Harriet !!!

  • increible, esto es lado B? excelente melodia. Cuando vuelven?

  • so poignant def. true and sung beautifully

  • this is a great B-side song of CRY...so meaningful!!!

  • no matter what hapened....life goes on!!!

  • Yes, but I've made promises to Evanz and I'll keep them. I'm not the kind of people who lie, cheat and who is dishonnest as you think. I'll never let him down. I'll always be his jei jei and I'll always love both of you, want it or not, believe it or not. I won't give up.

  • Wow...what a great song. Thank you for this!

    "Life Goes On" Is this the name of the song? I cant find this track on any of the three albums released.

    Please help!!!

  • This song wasn´t placed on any of the regular albums. It´s b-side of CRY, released in 1997. I think...

  • What an awesome song. Definitely one of their best. Very powerful, sad and beautiful. Can't believe it didn't get on one of their albums.

  • yet another Sundays song which makes us swoon and dream. Beautiful dreamlike imagery, wonderful melodic music. Thanks for that.

  • Reminds me of Ithy....

  • Been a big Sundays fan since 2004. Yes I suffer/ed from extreme anxiety and depression and only just found this B-side.

    Sundays are a more upbeat version of The Cranberries, a band I liked back in 1992/3. I recommend their first two albums if you like The Sundays and need to get into something similar.

  • Yes I heard it said that "He who sings frightens his ills away" but Harriet will do that for you!

  • never heard this song from the sunday's before, but you have just made my sunday!!!

  • so powerful!!

  • HEAVY lyrics. Such a powerful song.

  • I thought both Through The Dark and Life Goes On were from the Static And Silence sessions?

  • Have you got "Through The Dark" by chance? I've been trying to hunt the "Cry" single with it on it down forever, but these things appear to be so rare, at least in the States T_T

  • It can be found on their myspace. The url is Harrietwheeler

  • FYI. That is a Sundays fan's MySpace page. I thought it was pretty obvious. ;)

  • Awesome song!!! I listen to this song and it makes me think of so many things!!

  • Thanks LouGurl. This is probably the best place for me to find The Sundays' b-sides. Keep them coming. Please?

  • Thank You LouGurl!

  • You're welcome!

  • interesting....

  • what is this? i've never heard it before. how did I miss this? is it a b side or something?

  • It's a b side from the single "Cant be sure", and it is a superb song!!!

    Harriet's voice is simply sublime !!!

  • thnx for this info - been wondering where to find this song - now on to ebay...

  • Thank you so much for this. Does anybody know where to find "noise" by The Sundays? I let it slip through my fingers and have regretted it ever since.

  • Can someone please fill me in on this awesome band? I just cannot believe that Harriet and David will never write music and perform live again. I know that Harriet wants to raise her children, but does that mean that they will NEVER return to writing music again? And God forbid that they get a divorce, because they would spell a certain doom for one of the best bands of all-time!!! Please, does anyone have any interview clips or information I can go on? I am a HUGE fan!

  • Well, if you want the basic bio of the band, its available all over the web. But, if your asking if anyone is hip to their return, then join the club, my friend. All of us SUNDAYS fans are wondering the same thing. If I knew anything about a reunion then I'd already be in line buying tickets. All we can do is hope. Man, I would give anything to hear Harriet sing in person. Sigh...oh well. Maybe someday.

  • When all is said and done, Harriet Wheeler may just be my favorite person in the whole world. So lovely, so talented, so...Harriet.

  • wow!...just brilliant...it's new to me, tho i've loved them from day one....thanks very much

  • Did they ever make a bad song? No matter how old and hard I think I'm getting, I hear her voice and it crushes me. Never fails. So beautiful it hurts...

  • 'Life and Soul' was bad, although 'Blind' is by far my favorite Sundays album. I wasn't too crazy about 'Your Eyes' on 'S&S' either. :) But you're right about Harriet. She's still the only singer who literally gives me goosebumps while listening to her voice...and this is after more than a decade of listening to The Sundays on a daily basis. A grown man getting goosebumps is freaky. :)

  • IMHO, ever their weakest songs are utterly listenable. Why? Because of that voice, that voice, MY GOD THAT VOICE !

  • Ah, yes...the true sign of truly an awesome band when you think even their worst songs are a piece of art! You're right, my genius friend! You put it perfectly!

  • @texasgabe but i do believe, by far, this is NOT one of their weakest.

  • Wow a 'new' Sundays studio song! And it's great!

    Thanks for posting this.

  • I just got this sent to me by a friend who downloaded it from somewhere

  • I just love this song!!! Great words, why don't they make music like this anymore??

  • Sorry to say...The Sundays don't record anymore. Harriet and Dave, it is said, are quite content living their lives in Manchester England raising a family...no dvd's...and you'll have to ebay, to find their 3 cd's..as for the obscure songs like this one...good luck finding it on CD..it's on the Cry CD-2 which is really hard to find

  • I am just Happy that it is posted for us to enjoy....thank you

  • This song is fantastic, found it on myspace and I downloaded it thru bearshare. Words are awesome, this group was way underrated!!

  • nice song, it's got a nice flow to it

  • Really great song and wonderful voice...

    i d like to get the song as an mp3 or CD

    any ideas where to get ? the CD is not available at any store or online shop

  • Are they still making music? Do they have any DVDs out?

  • Does ANYONE have this file? It's brilliant ... but I just can't find it anywhere! And believe me I've looked for it!

  • Enjoy this and a few other glorious rarities on their MySpace page. Included there is Nothing Sweet, one of the most beautiful and haunting songs ever recorded by anyone, anywhere.

  • My God I love this song.

  • me too.

    :]

  • stunningly sweet had the pleasure of seeing them live in bradford years ago, great gig sadly missed band in my opinion

  • MAGNIFIK!! Enjoy it!(L) seriously it's sooo goodd

  • i got shivers down my spine as i listened to the song and read the lyrics. that was just beautiful.

  • Just enjoy it while its here.

  • Thank you for adding this.

  • Gay? Gay? Dammit, I just wanna pick her up and carry her off!

  • Life is too short to worry about such idiotic things my friend.

  • Oh shit! What album is this one off? It sounds like her older albums

  • this isnt on any of the three Sundays albums,not sure where this comes from,beautiful though.

  • Hmm, might be a single, hidden track or a B side studio single import

  • it is a b-side from the 'cry' single from 1997 - one of my fave sundays songs

  • I love the sundays! : )

  • Someone needs to make a forum dedicated to The Sundays. I have a forum, but it has nothing to do with them; I could make a spot for them though....what do you all think?

  • Well, Im sure theres a fan site that might have a forum, maybe for a thread on another site, like myspace, I dont know if youtube has the sort.

  • There used to be a good forum called "sirensofsong", but no one has posted there in years and putting something up on that board is like watching grass grow...there is no traffic!

  • Harriet Wheeler is the Goddess of Song. WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!!

  • Wow! Great song. Thanks for posting this track.. I started listening to their music after first seeing "here's where the story ends" in the early 90s on the tele. I didn't know this song existed (what is this a B-side?). I do wish they'd make more music...I've been checking on and off for a new album release over the many years & still hoping....

  • This was a b-side to one of their singles on their Static and Silence album...how this didn't make the cut, blows my mind. It is one of their best!

  • Does anyone have any clue what David and Harriet have been up to lately? Are they ever going to make music again or do a "reunion" tour? God, I loved them so much. They remind me of my heavenly college days walking across campus during the middle of fall. I almost cry when I hear this song! I love the line, "looking back down!!!" So beautiful!

  • no doubt...I liken her voice as being like another instrument in the band; it just fits so well with David's guitar and the jangliness of it all! I LOVE this song!

  • Wow, LouGurl, this was awesome! This is my all-time fav Sundays track and it makes my heart melt every time I listen to it! Thanks for posting the lyrics, because, I always sing it wrong in my car! duh! However, I think Harriet sings, "I don't get OFF on being down"..not positive though. Thanks a bunch!

  • I thought that's what she was saying too...and I actually like the line better...it was after some debate with someone that convinced me she was saying "out"...but I think it's debatable because it's hard to understand her. I didn't want to say "off" and be wrong. What convinced me was the thought of talk therapy vs medication, which seems to be what she's argueing about....talking doesn't help getting out of it...she needs the pills. What do you think?

  • She's quoting someone telling her "so untie yourself because that's all you've got to do" as if to say "snap out of it". And she responds by "and I can grow a pair of wings..." as if to say she can snap out of it as well as she could grow a pair of wings. Just my take on it.

  • LouGurl, thanks for explaining the song...it is just so damn beautiful. Not to be morbid or anything, but I think I am going to write in my will that this song should be played at my funeral.

  • I have the exact same plan for Here's Where The Story Ends.

  • Im gonna have - When Im thinking about you - at my funeral !!!

  • Well, after listening to the song a few thousand times over the past weekend, I've come to a couple conclusions. One is that this is near the top of all-time great Sunday songs (You're Not The Only One I Know being my favorite). The other is that she is absolutely saying "I don't get off on feeling down."

  • Also...thank you so much for bringing this song to my attention!!!!!

  • No doubt, You're Not the Only One" is one of their best! I don't know about you, but I have a hard time listening to this beautiful band when the weather is crappy (like it is in Chicago right now.) This is definitely sunny-day-leaves-falling-off-t­he-trees-music, in my opinion....

  • IMHO, some of their songs are best enjoyed on less-than-sunny days - and some (On Earth, Nothing Sweet), at night.

  • so true...they definitely have songs that are great for the NIGHT! Namely, "Through the dark" goes perfectly with the night!!

  • Good point

  • i LOOOOOVE On Earth. I listen to it over and over again because it isn't long enough just once.

  • How can i find these songs??

  • I couldn't agree more with all these comments. Being a fan of The SUNDAYS in frustrating because of their relatively small catalog of songs. Nothing Sweet is unquestionably one of the most beautiful and haunting songs ever recorded by anyone anywhere. God, I miss them so much.

  • Yeah, this group was SPECIAL and supremely underated. I really wish they would come out for a mini tour of Europe and N.America. They need to spread their beautiful tunes with the rest of the world again.

  • thanks for upload this beautiful song..

    i love it...

  • God I sure would love to hear all of the ones that you have mentioned!

  • Nothing Sweet and Gone are two great Sundays tracks that should have deserved a place on the third album- they are wonderful songs with beautiful lyrics. Nothing Sweet in particular is a very haunting song.

  • I hope they put this on a greatest hits cd. I can't get it any other way. Yes, I have all three cd's to, but this is on the "Cry" cd single, off "Static & Silence". I love this band and I always will! I would hope they do this and a couple other covers. You know how great they did "Wild Horses", well you know if they're busy raising families, well I can understand if they don't come up with any new material. Yep, they're a great band and I really miss them!

  • Very nice. Nice Slideshow.

  • I read all these comments - the cool and stupid ones - but what I'd really like to know is, what ever happened to this group? I have 3 of their CDs and have played them for years but I never read anything about them or heard why they stopped recording. It's such a shame that no more great music came from this great group.

  • I recently got in touch with Paul Brindley, bassist for The Sundays, and he says that the band is definitely NOT over yet. Accdg to him, it seems Dave and Harriet are intent on coming out with something new-- they're just mulling over what that something is. If the last hiatus was something like 4 or 5 years between albums, then this new album should really be something.

  • Please pass on to them the their fans (who are not so net savvy) are so excited. Pure vocals from Harriet's voice are a welcome distraction from the days' shite. Not that I put any pressure on her at all, but I love her voice. I am really happy to hear of a possibility of a reunion, but since hearing of this for the past 8 years, it's hard to believe. Since having a kid of my own, I fully support their decision to delay music making.

  • BeeRubble-you seem to naively believe that there is only ONE source for this song on the entire internet. I have no idea about what you keep leaving comments on but I'm tired of your bullshit. You're not all THAT perceptive.

  • Through the Dark

    Oh innocent smiles, how they put you shame

    Same televised lines, I've seen the film before

    Sicilian men, they're going to save their name

    Leaving their brides in black shawls again

    See how it's shining thru the dark as the teardrops fall

    And it illuminates the room and we can't stop staring for a moment

    Some silver screen starlet but it's my story she's living in

    In a smoke filled room pressed up against the door

  • And see how it's shining thru the dark as the kettle boils

    And it illuminates the room, entertain me

    Eyes on this prize

    Hello......I'm drowning in your tide

    Welcome.....so close to my pale skin, I'm there

    But one touch and it's gone

    Same black and white blonde, you know the face but never the name

    Hillbilly young boys, without a tooth between them

  • And see how it's shining thru the dark

    Spinning a dream for the wide awake

    And it illuminates the room, entertain me

    Fixing your eyes on the prize

    Hello....I'm drowning in your tide

    Welcome...so close to my pale skin, I'm there

    Sister stay now, don't run now

    This is my magic world, and it's pulling me under

    So stay........

  • WTF why have I never heard this?

  • this is a very rare song and it is one of their bests...

  • Fantastic song- spent the last few days trying to find the lyrics to this! Well Done LouGurl

  • love the song!!

  • holy shit these lyrics are amazing. The Sundays were fantastic. Big thanks for this.

  • Where do I find this on cd or elsewhere. I have all 3 cds.  Ooooh Harriett!!!!!

  • good job lougurl, love this sing:-)

  • Unspeakably beautiful. Any posting at all of or about The SUNDAYS is wonderful. Does anyone have Through The Dark, video or otherwise, to post. You will make a god of yourself in eyes of all The SUNDAYS fans.

  • If I could make movies from clips, I'd do it. It's a great "visual" song.

  • I too am looking for the cd/video or lyrics for 'Through the Dark'. I have the song on my myspace account but would really love the vid and lyrics. If you find them could you let me know.

    Ta

  • Thanx Lougurl, this is really special

  • this song is rare! i haven't heard this before. where can i get this?

  • LouGurl,Just a suggestn. You could insert relevant photos between the lyrics, and the guitar solo.....definitely will attract people's attn 200% n convey yr meaning in posting this video.. People are so used to colorful vids, cant blame them.

  • You're right but I was more interested in getting the song on so everyone could at least hear it because it's rare. Maybe I will later....thanks.

  • You're wellcome. At least you posted something, which i can't say for myself.......I'm still searching for ideas, and time.......
