The group was named during the 11 August 1999 eclipse and their name literally means "Mad As The Sun".
The band released three moderately successful singles on the V2 label during 2000: "Don't You Worry" (UK #14), "Walking On Water" (UK #14) and "Feel Good" (UK #29). Don't You Worry was a considerable airplay hit, thanks in part to a selection of UK Garage mixes.
Their album, "The Way It Is", charted at a disappointing #67 in the October of 2000 and the band disbanded shortly after.

Madasun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody used to use and abuse ya
But maybe you can turn your life around
I can see that you act like you don't care
In a dead end job, goin' nowhere
Don't you know that only you can keep you down
'Cause miracles do happen
It's like walking on water
You can move mountains with some faith
Like walking on water, don't you see
What you can achieve
If you believe it in your heart
You can walk on water
You could be a man in the mansion
And still feel no better than a has been
If there is no-one special in your life
And you can be as broke as a joke
And know inside that you'll always cope
If you're the hero in your children's eyes
'Cause miracles do happen
If it's feeling wrong you can make it right
It's like walking on water
You can move mountains with some faith
Like walking on water, don't you see
What you can achieve
If you believe it in your heart
It's like walking on water
You can move mountains with some faith
Like walking on water, don't you see
What you can achieve
If you believe it in your heart
You can walk on water
Walk on water
Walk on water
Walk on water
Walk on water
Walk on water
Walk on water, yeah
Yeah
It's like walking on water
You can move mountains with some faith
Like walking on water, don't you see
What you can achieve
If you believe it in your heart
It's like walking on water
You can move mountains with some faith
Like walking on water, don't you see
What you can achieve
If you believe it in your heart
You can walk on water
These lyrics allude to the idea that one is capable of achieving anything if they truly believe in their own abilities. The song begins by acknowledging that the person being sung about might have had a rough past, but insists that they are capable of turning their life around. The lyrics assert that only the person themselves can hold themselves back from success, and encourages them to believe that they are capable of achieving great things.
The chorus repeats the metaphor of "walking on water" as a symbol of the seemingly impossible becoming possible. The lyrics suggest that with faith and belief in oneself, one can move mountains and achieve their goals - even if those goals seem impossible at first. The idea is that nothing is out of reach as long as one has faith in their own abilities and is willing to work towards their dreams.
The second verse further emphasizes the idea that one's own perception of themselves is key to their ability to succeed - even if someone is wealthy and successful but lacks a meaningful connection with loved ones, they may feel unfulfilled. Conversely, if someone is financially struggling but has the admiration and respect of their children, they may feel like a hero. The lyrics encourage the listener to focus on what truly matters to them and to find value and validation in their own ability to make a positive impact on themselves and others.
Overall, the lyrics convey a message of hope and empowerment. By suggesting that anyone can achieve their goals and that success comes from within, the song encourages listeners to believe in their own abilities and to never give up on their dreams.

You could be a two-time loser
You might have failed twice before
Everybody used to use and abuse ya
People took advantage of you and mistreated you
But maybe you can turn your life around
However, you can change your life for the better
I can see that you act like you don't care
I notice that you pretend not to care
In a dead end job, goin' nowhere
Your job leads to nowhere
Don't you know that only you can keep you down
You are the only one who can hinder yourself
'Cause miracles do happen
Because unexpected positive things can occur
If it's feeling wrong you can make it right
If something feels off, you can fix it
It's like walking on water
It's like achieving the impossible
You can move mountains with some faith
With faith, you can accomplish great things
Like walking on water, don't you see
Just like achieving the impossible, can't you perceive
What you can achieve
What you can accomplish
If you believe it in your heart
If you truly believe it can be done
You could be a man in the mansion
You might live in a mansion
And still feel no better than a has been
But still feel like a nobody
If there is no-one special in your life
If you do not have anyone important to you
And you can be as broke as a joke
And even if you are poor
And know inside that you'll always cope
But believe that you can handle it
If you're the hero in your children's eyes
If your children look up to you as a hero
Walk on water
Achieve the impossible
Yeah
Yes
