Sunday Morning
by The Velvet Underground

Sunday morning
Brings the dawn in
It's just a restless feeling
By my side

Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years
So close behind

Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've got a feeling
I don't want to know

Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you've crossed
Not so long ago

Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all

Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning

Despite its time of release, this sounds a lot more like Alternative/Indie/Experimental rock than any sort of solid Rock music. This thing appeals lot better on fans of Pink Floyd, Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine and Wilco than straight-up rock listeners. Now, this is a 60's album. Look at the times the bands I referenced to. 70's, 90's, 2000's...You see how masterful the Banana Album actually is now? Good.

1967, soooo ahead of its time

I I

@Brandon Hendrix yes, that's what I'm talking about. Lou was definitely not the inventor of feedback, but he was probably the one who set the standard for its use for future generations. It's like the matrix, this movie is considered revolutionary because of the use of special effects that were already invented, but in the form that later became example

I I

@Brandon Hendrix by the way, you know, I'm not sure about yardbirds and kinks, you know, one of the most famous things about Lou (kind of semi-mythical) that I still adore is that he didn't digest the british in their majority. I think it's cool, he's one of those people that Americans can be really proud of, because of this spirit of authenticity and sensible nihilism in relation to popular foreign, while loving the music of their country. At least according to the band members, I remember reading more than one interview of both John and Sterling with Moe, the words that Lou was primarily a fan of classic American rock and roll, and considered it the main authority for himself, they were constant

Brandon Hendrix

@I I Pete Townsend used feedback in his solo in a Who song called Anyway Anyhow Anywhere (which came out in 1965) but not nearly to the same effect. Reed's is postively ear-piercing and an integral part of the solo! love it! Yeah, I know some say The Beatles into to I Feel Fine has feedback but it's so brief and, frankly, wimpy I don't count it.

I I

@Brandon Hendrix yes, exactly! By the way, it seems to me, or is this the first case of using feedback in the usual form in a rock song?

I went through 3 copies of this in about five years. In the sixties we had record players. Not high tech. Sometimes if you had a really crappy record player, it required putting coins on the arm, to keep it from skipping. Scratched the records up though. First one I bought was over fifty years ago.

It's just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning, sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning and I'm falling

OK, here's a challenge. There was a vid that disappeared a couple of years ago that was a mashup of "Sloop John B" (with the old B&W promotional film for the song, essentially The Beach Boys clothed walking into a pool with a raft) that was mixed with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Shit, it was good and I miss it. As odd as it sounds, it really worked. I'd like to see your take on it.

I just realised this song has a very complex mixing technique. I think what makes it special is the voice going somewhat back and forth, back and forth... (in volume). Plus, don't you hear a kind of synthesizer on the left channel echoing the celesta melody? (More evident in the second half). It's very subtle... In tone it reminds me of the one used in "Here Comes the Sun", but maybe it was my mind that made it up!

Such a fitting song for 1966, which was a magical time for music. Incense, sunshine. I can hear Nico singing this lead and would love to hear that if the VU ever really did let her sing it live. Still, Lou sounds so good on this one, manipulating his voice a bit, with a little Dylan in there. I LOVE this song.

Yes, a very nice little song and a somewhat deceiving entry into the album. RIP Lou Reed.

Thing like that doesn't happen anymore??? Really? I was thinking things like that does happen anymore. You write and think like a four year old, glad you like the song, it's above average

Check out Strawberry Switchblade's version - if only for Rose McDowall's gorgeous Glasgae accent

It was Andy Warhol who suggested to Lou Reed to make a song about paranoia to be included on Velvet Underground's first album. Lou complied by writing 'Sunday Morning' with lyrics like 'Watch out, the world's behind you, there's always someone watching you...' Lou sang it on the album and Nico sang it on all their live performances.

This song is tied to such a great memory. Being broke but happy at the University of Oklahoma. As a fine arts student, all my money went to art supplies. This one supply shop had cheap cassettes at the cash register and the owner let me have a cassette, so I chose The Velvet Underground and Nico, purely based on the Warhol designed album cover and their notoriety. I popped the tape in my paint splattered jam-box and “Sunday Morning” came on. It’s still my favorite Velvet Underground song, probably because it’s the first song I listened to. I created many works of art listening to this song/album. Thank you, VU.

Life seems to be incredibly tiring! Especially emotionally tiring and unfair! This song, though, is soooo consoling!! It's like God is caressing us through the melody of " Sunday morning".

This is so ironic and dark. this makes the song even more beautifull than it already is. Rest in peace lou, you will truly be missed.
