In 2000, Sia signed to Sony Music's sub-label Dance Pool and released her second studio album, Healing Is Difficult, the following year. Displeased with the promotion of the record, she signed to Go! Beat and released her third studio album, Colour the Small One, in 2004. The project struggled to connect with a mainstream audience, and so Sia relocated to New York City in 2005 and began touring across the United States. She released her fourth and fifth studio releases, Some People Have Real Problems and We Are Born, in 2008 and 2010, respectively. She then took a hiatus from performing, during which she focused on songwriting for other artists. Her catalogue includes the successful collaborations "Titanium" (with David Guetta), "Diamonds" (with Rihanna) and "Wild Ones" (with Flo Rida).
In 2014, Sia released her sixth studio album 1000 Forms of Fear, which debuted at No 1 in the U.S. Billboard 200 and generated the top-ten breakthrough single "Chandelier" and a trilogy of music videos starring child dancer Maddie Ziegler. In 2016, she released her seventh studio album This Is Acting, which spawned her first Hot 100 number one single, "Cheap Thrills". The same year, Sia gave her Nostalgic for the Present Tour, which incorporated performance art elements. Sia has received an array of accolades, including ARIA Awards and an MTV Video Music Award.

Sia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For those who've kept
Themselves jacked up
How Jesus wept
Sunday
Sunday
For those in need
For those who try to slow their minds with weed
Sunday
Sunday
For those who wake
With a blind headache
Who must be still
Who will sit and wait
For Sunday, to be Monday
Yeah, it will be okay
Do nothing today
Give yourself a break
Let your imagination run away
For those with guilt
For those who wilt
Under pressure
No tears over spilt milk
Sunday
Sunday
Sunday
Sunday
Sunday
Yeah, it will be okay
Do nothing today
Give yourself a break
Let your imagination run away
Yeah, it will be okay
Do nothing today
Give yourself a break
Let your imagination run away
The lyrics to Sia's song "Sunday" are about taking a break and relaxing from the stresses of life. The first two stanzas are for people who have kept themselves up or have been using drugs to try to cope with their problems. The line "how Jesus wept" refers to how even the son of God cried at the troubles of the world. The repetition of "Sunday" throughout the song emphasizes the day of rest and relaxation.
The next stanza is for people who are in need, whether it be a need for speed or a need to slow their minds with weed. The word "Sunday" acts as a reminder that they can take a break from their troubles and relax. The following stanza addresses those who wake up with a headache and just need to sit still and wait for Sunday, the day of rest.
The chorus repeats the idea that it's okay to take a break and do nothing. Giving oneself a break and allowing the imagination to run wild is crucial for mental well-being. The final stanza is for those who feel guilty or are feeling pressure, reminding them that it's okay to let go and not stress over small things.
Overall, "Sunday" by Sia is a reminder to take care of oneself and to give oneself a break from the stresses of life.

@eeli1
Now that she's becoming more famous they should re-release a lot of her old songs like this one and pictures. I bet they'd be big hits. :)
@comsm1839
@@vulnicure its been very long time wow
@potterpenguin7285
Wow! This commented was probably posted sometime when We Are Born was released. Maybe even Titanium. But very few people knew her. And today she has more music videos with over a million views than any other female artist. It's crazy! She deserves it all. Stay safe! 😊

@entelektuel.yolculuk
naah many songs of her are EQUALLLY GREAT
@tessiepinkman
Honestly, out of all the songs Sia has dropped, this is still my favorite. I remember finding her music back in like 2003/2004 (I'm not 100% sure about the year, but it was something like that) and being completely mesmerized. When I first heard this song I fell in love with it instantly. This will always stay my favorite song of hers, I believe, and that says quite a lot, 'cause she has released some real bangers through the years. There's just something so wonderful about the scaled back sound and the lyrics. It's a truly, truly great song.
