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.
Sunday Morning
Madasun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
It's all the streets you 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

Madasun’s “Sunday Morning” is a song that paints the picture of a restless feeling that lingers on a Sunday morning. The lyrics describe a sense of anxiety and unease that is felt despite the peace that Sunday mornings usually bring. The first verse speaks about the light that comes in the morning and how it cannot chase away the feeling that something is not quite right. The second verse goes on to explore the idea that the past is never truly gone and that the streets that were once crossed still linger somewhere in the back of our minds.
The repeated chorus of “Watch out, the world's behind you, there's always someone around you who will call, it's nothing at all” is a reminder that there is always something or someone that is there to bring us back from our anxieties and that everything will eventually be okay. The song ends on a simple note, with the repeated phrase “Sunday morning,” highlighting the cyclical nature of life and how we must face the same feelings and anxieties week after week, but knowing that we can always turn to those around us to find comfort.
Overall, Madasun’s “Sunday Morning” is a somber yet empowering song that acknowledges the difficulties we face but also the support that is available to us.
