Sungha http://www.sunghajung.com arranges and plays 'Sunny Came Home' by Shawn Colvin.
"Sunny Came Home", is a folk-rock song by American musician Shawn Colvin. It is the theme song to her 1996 concept album A Few Small Repairs, and quickly became a hit when it was released as a CD single on June 24, 1997.
The song tells the story of a woman named Sunny who burns down her house to escape her past.[1] (The cover art on the single shows images of a woman and a burning house.)
It is one of several "story songs" on A Few Small Repairs, a method of songwriting Colvin began experimenting with while writing for the album. The title of the song comes from the opening lyrics.
The song's calming and upbeat music, fronted by a distinctive mandolin strum, contrasts sharply with the destructive lyrics, particularly the haunting bridge: "Get the kids and bring a sweater; dry is good and wind is better. Count the years; you always knew it / Strike a match; go on and do it".[2] The title of the album, A Few Small Repairs, also appears in the third line of the second verse of the song, "It's time for a few small repairs she said."
At the end of the song, the lighting of a match can briefly be heard, followed by a quick breath to presumably put the flame out. The version that played on most radio stations was edited, as was the video version on mtv, removing approximately 30 seconds of instrumental music, mostly at the end of the song.
