Dark cloud has come into the way
Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way
Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way
Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way
They sing to the darkest night
Long before
They sing to the darkest night
Long before
Why can't I face it?
Am I too blind to see?
Why did he go?
Why did he leave me?
Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way
Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way
Ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Why can't I face it?
Am I too blind to see?
Why did he go?
Why did he leave me?
Why can't I face it?
Am I too blind to see?
Why did he go?
Why did he leave me?
Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way
Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way
Ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
The song Sunday by Moby features melancholic and repetitive lyrics that draw on the emotional turmoil of a lost love. The opening lines “Sunday was a bright day yesterday / Dark cloud has come into the way” begin the song with a contrasting image, one of brightness versus darkness. This could symbolize how unexpected and sudden the loss of love can feel, as though one day everything was bright and the next a dark cloud has descended. The repetition of these lines throughout the song highlights the feeling of being stuck in sadness, unable to move on from the loss.
The second half of the song introduces the question of “Why did he go? / Why did he leave me?” which speaks to the confusion that often accompanies heartbreak. The repeated plea of “Why can’t I face it? / Am I too blind to see?” emphasizes the struggle of accepting the end of a relationship and the difficulty in understanding what went wrong or why it had to end. The use of simple phrases and repetition in this song creates a meditative and introspective mood that allows the listener to fully feel the emotions being conveyed.
Overall, Sunday by Moby provides a poignant and honest depiction of the pain one can feel after the loss of love. Through the repeating lyrics and contrast of light and dark images, the song captures the feeling of being stuck in sadness and struggling to move on.

A great scene conveying adrenaline, confusion, and hostility of the game situation for Steamin Beamen and everyone. I know that critics panned the hell out of this film, but I think Any Given Sunday is one of the best sports films ever.

Super prescient too.
