Sunday Sun

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

This is a song that evokes both happiness & sadness at the same time. This was near the beginning of Neil Diamond's illustrious career. "Gets me feeling good & yet sad at the same time" is how you sum up this fabulous song!

Bravo, Neil!

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

This song reminds me of the days when life was more simple & carefree...unlike today. The female singers singing backing vocals must be at least in their mid-to-late sixties today. The backup singers on this track are the perfect compliment to Neil's profound lyrics & singing. I wonder how well Neil remembers recording the sessions for "VG&S"? Anyway, a great track to go along with a great LP! Thanks for posting it, pie0my!

Bravo, Neil Leslie Diamond!

Time on my mind. Make the most of it, just me and a Sunday Sun. Liable to forget that Monday ever comes. Gonna sit around watching bees chasin' honey. Sunday Sun, when you're 'round, get to feelin' like I wanna smile! Weekday strings tie me down, but this one day baby I can fly! Said I can fly! Hey, Sunday Sun! Let's go walking and we'll talk about some things. I'll kick my shoes off and we'll dream about some dreams. C'mon Sunday Sun, we've got some plans to make! We'll go walking...(fade out).

Hey, Sunday Sun! Let's go walking and we'll talk about some things. I'll kick my shoes off and we'll dream about some dreams. Got to get away when the world gets on me. Kids in the park. Don't take long before I'm laughing along with them. Almost makes me think those times can come again. Gets me feeling good and yet sad at the same time. Sunday Sun, when you're 'round get to feelin' like I wanna smile! Weekday strings tie me down, but this one day baby I can fly! I can fly!

A lost gem from Neil Diamond! Every song on "Velvet Gloves and Spit" is spectacular!

Bravo, Neil Diamond!

¡QUÉ CANCIÓN TAN MARAVILLOSA! (WHAT A WONDERFUL SONG!) ES REALMENTE UNA VERDADERA JOYA. SIEMPRE HE ADMIRADO A NEIL DIAMOND. POSIBLEMENTE JAMÁS VENGA A CANTAR A SUDAMÉRICA O A CHILE DONDE YO VIVO, PERO ESO NO IMPIDE MI ADMIRACIÓN POR SU MÚSICA. SALUDOS DESDE SAN BERNARDO, CHILE.

I was at the last Neil Diamond concert at the O2 on July 13 2011 and he never sang this. This is the 3rd concert I've seen him play in London where he never plays it. Just like Heartlight. Wonder why?

[smokey11able]

my old man had this on a reel to reel and wanted to know what this song was he never heard of it this was from 1968 this is a lost gem.

My dad had this album when i was young , brings back memories

[randa1233]

My sister, cousin and I used to sing this song as kids growing up on a farm. My uncle actually had beehives in the pasture.

Bought this (cassette) 10 years ago just for this long lost song! Thanks, You Tube for allowing all these phenomenal lost music...soooo many memories!!

I have always thought the Bang recordings and UNI recordings were the best Neil put out, when you listen to songs like this, merry go round, smokey lady etc... you understand why he is regarded as the finest songwriter of his or any other generation. his recent induction in RRHOF is 30yrs overdue.

[JohnCee754]

A great forgotten track by Neil Diamond -- thanks so much for posting this!

[middkees]

I have always loved Sunday Sun by Neil Diamond and I think the album Velvet Gloves and Spit has many fantastic songs on it. I'm so glad Neil Diamond has finally been elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This is a LONG overdue honor which is much deserved.

[borders4ever]

This was a favourite of mine in it's day......love you and all your music Neil Diamond....you are a legend. Thanks for posting, I am downloading it now from iTunes to put on my iPod.......

[DinoTuned1]

I forgot just how good that this song is. Glad it didn't get over played, when it was on the air.Thank You for posting.

[bellbrookbob]

NEVER hear this one any more, never did I guess after fall of '68. Recall it well in SW Ohio. 8th grade--was it that many years ago??

[AmmaSherry]

Love this song...love HIM! Glad I was young enough to be a Neil fan!

[tgpil321]

Thank GOD for the internet Geniuses!

[johncuschieri]

very underated song it should have been a huge hit which i quite dont understand.

it still stands the test of time.

thanks for the posting, great song!!!!

[pappy154451956]

Simply a great song---and uni had little choice but to pump them out with Bang label doing re-issues climbing the charts at the same time during this period...but you make a very good point 2rj .Long live the Nielster!

[Sary160]

The Best!!!!

[2rjswan]

This is a great song with his usual slightly depressed viewpoint. They were pumping out his singles every 6 weeks to sell albums. Most didn't get a chance to blossom.

[johncuschieri]

thanks for posting this delightful song i remember this as a child many years ago.

i loved neils voice better then it sounded more sweeter than todays more raspier voice.

[rgfcan]

This is one of my favourite ND songs. 

I watched the film "The Kid Stays in the Picture" about the real life story of Robert Evans. Sunday Sun is played at 26min.

[wolfsblood07]

Why is this song not on any greatest hits albums???

[a10077]

Good question, it certainly should be!

[bocuster]

The first song I ever learned to play on guitar. Thanks for posting!

[RobGoth100]

A lost gem from the past. Thanks for posting.

[makingsense53]

This is one of those lost gems like Tin Soldier by The Small Faces. They got radio play for about two weeks and they disappeared. This is one of my favorite Neil Diamond songs right up there with Shilo, Craklin Rose, Brother Loves Travelin Salvation Show, I Am I Said and Song Sung Blues. Peace.

[thegreasyspoondiner]
