3) Sunshine is a disco act whose members include the real-life sisters of singer Donna Summer (her sister Mary Ellen was the lead singer). Their 1978 number one Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play hit "Take It the Zoo," which was featured on the "Thank God It's Friday" film and soundtrack, was co-written by Summer (with Bruce Sudano and Joe Esposito), who also sings background on the track. Unfortunately, the album that was planned (Sunshine Watching Daddy Dance) was pulled at the last minute therefore. Today Mary Ellen still sings today with her sister Donna when she is on tour. Her sister, Dara who also toured with Donna, is now living in Atlanta, Georgia.

2) Serbian group (continued):
In 1995, their first album Ljubavna Likvefakcija (Love liquefaction, name of the album was concieved by Bane, as he was at that time working as a lab assistant, as sperm liquefaction process and love inspired him to name the album that way) was released on Jugodisk. (which was strange because all of Jugoton's artists were consisted of turbo-folk, a genre which blossomed in the early 90's in Serbia)
Band gained the attention of the general public, with their slang, anti-violence and anti-war (albeit harsh and crude lyrics, they were created as a positive message in the times of war, but media warped their meaning, gaining the band some notoriety at that time), sex (their main inspiration) and drug abuse lyrics, were just some themes that have been prolonged on all of their releases.
At that time they played sold out gigs at KST, and Studentski Kulturni Centar, public greeted them with cheering and euforic jumping around the halls.
They've toured with Gru and Robin Hood as guests.
Kojot and Staća join the band in 1996, influence of their previous bands, bring a hardcore guitar sound on the bands, second sophomore album Sh.G.T.M. (Shipu ga ti meni ili Šta god ti mislio (e.g. translation: Suck my dick, or what ever you think)) released in 1997 on Metropolis records label. (some of the artist from the same label Block Out, Bjesovi, Veliki Prezir)
SH.G.T.M. was a breakthrough, with extensive tours around the whole Serbia, band gained interest not only from the domestic hip-hop community, but of hardcore, punk and metal and rock audience as well.
On the same album they've collaborated with Margita "Magi" Stefanović of EKV fame on Misli mene gone song and Đule on guitars. (Van Gogh)
On February 14th 1997 band started it's tradition of having big concerts at SKC on every Valentine's day.
Sunshine's first single Kokane was a collaboration with alternative rock band Plejboj for the domestic movie thriller Do Koske.
Two new songs were also featured, Mental Kokane and (Atmo-cappella) '91 preview a second part of Amerika Preview from Ljubavna Likvefakcija album.
Two videos were made for (Atmo-cappella) '91, an uncut and cut version because the thematic of the song and it's videos were considered highly political.
One of their more notable concerts was when they were an opening act for Biohazard at SKC.
Neću da se predam, also released on Metropolis records in 1998, had the best production by far. This time the lyrics were political and social themes opposed to the first two albums which dealt with sex and drugs.
This year's Valentine's day concert was held at Hala Sportova, national tv station RTS filmed the whole concert but some technical difficulties happened, and Dj Andrej had a fight with a television cameraman, blaming him for tipping off the cables.
They've also played at Republika Srpska summer festival in Brčko at fortress Kastel.
In 2001 Sunshine released their first live album simply entitled Live! which featured one new song.
Four of the band members made their acting debut and composed a song for a drama movie Jedan na jedan.
2002 band called it quits leaving only Bane as it's original member, releasing Sha bilo, an album that was produced by young and gifted Đorđe Miljenović better known by his hip-hop name Wikluh Sky.
Even if the album introduced mixed musical styles of breakbeat, industrial and dub, it failed to gain attention of the public.
In 2005 Bane released a single Again gettin' wicked with three new songs, again Đorđe Miljenović was the producer.
Sunshine started having live performance's again in 2006, and even anounced a new album for 2007. Instead of the album they released a compilation record with five new songs. (three of these songs were from the 2005 single, with better production)
Sunshine's most noticeable concert was at Belgrade's Beer Fest 2008, in front of 600.000 viewers.

The Fear
Sunshine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got your head in the oven
Drank that bottle of vodka
Found a girl for your lovin' and touchin' and squeezin'
Oh it's not that easy
When you can't find religion
You know you've tried, but you're slippin'
But it's not coming to be real yet
And I've been holding myself underwater
And I've been leading myself into slaughter
All the laughter and drinkin' and smokin'
Could make me feel much better if only
It were true
I wanna be here with you!
When your pain is just constant
Fills your body with toxins
Lingerin' til' you die off
And no one buries your coffin
When your country is haunted
By the ghost of a past history
There's just no other option
Than to grasp to your arms of belief
And I've been holding myself underwater
And I've been leading myself into slaughter
All the laughter and drinkin' and smokin'
Could make me feel much better if only
It were true
I wanna be here with you!
When you can't find the middle
And your heart is so shriveled
All your friends they just bled you dry
While you were off getting sky high
Oh no
And I've been holding myself underwater
And I've been leading myself into slaughter
All the laughter and drinkin' and smokin'
Could make me feel much better if only
It were true
I wanna be here with you!
The Fear by Sunshine is a poignant and introspective song that deals with the feelings of hopelessness and despair that can plague an individual. The opening lines suggest that the singer is so devoid of pleasure that they are willing to take their own life by sticking their head in an oven, after having drunk an entire bottle of vodka. The following lines reveal that they have found someone to comfort them, but that solving their problems is not as easy as it seems.
The second verse suggests that the singer has tried to turn to religion for solace, but has failed to find any comfort there either. There is an intangible sense that something is off, and that despite their best efforts, their problems refuse to go away. The chorus highlights the sense of drowning that the singer feels, both metaphorically and literally. They seem to be leading themselves to slaughter despite all of the temporary distractions that they indulge in like drinking and smoking. The chorus concludes with the sentiment that the singer wants to be with someone, although it's unclear whether this is a desire to be with an actual person or to simply escape from their problems.
The final verse reveals that the singer's friends have left them high and dry, while they have been busy getting high. The feeling of being left alone in the world is overwhelming, and the singer is left wondering whether there is any way out of their predicament. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, highlighting the sense of hopelessness that the singer feels.
Line by Line Meaning
When there's pleasure in nothin'
When life loses its meaning and you find no pleasure in anything
Got your head in the oven
You contemplate suicide and think of ending it all
Drank that bottle of vodka
You try to numb the pain and forget everything by drowning yourself in alcohol
Found a girl for your lovin' and touchin' and squeezin'
You seek affection and physical intimacy to fill the void inside you
Oh it's not that easy
But the pain and emptiness inside you cannot be filled that easily
When you can't find religion
When you can't find solace in religious beliefs and rituals
You know you've tried, but you're slippin'
You have tried to believe in something, but your faith is slipping away
There's something else you just feel it
You have a feeling that there is something more out there, beyond your current understanding
But it's not coming to be real yet
You can't comprehend or grasp this elusive 'something' yet
And I've been holding myself underwater
I have been drowning myself in my own sorrows and despair
And I've been leading myself into slaughter
I am slowly killing myself with destructive habits and negative thoughts
All the laughter and drinkin' and smokin'
Even though I indulge in escapist activities like laughing, drinking, and smoking, they don't provide lasting relief
Could make me feel much better if only
If only these temporary pleasures could provide long-term happiness and contentment
It were true
If only they could truly make me feel better and heal my pain
I wanna be here with you!
I seek companionship and support from someone I trust and care about
When your pain is just constant
When you are in perpetual pain and it doesn't seem to go away
Fills your body with toxins
The pain and suffering is toxic and harmful to your health and well-being
Lingerin' til' you die off
The pain is so persistent and long-lasting that it seems like it will never go away and eventually kill you
And no one buries your coffin
No one cares enough to mourn your death or give you a proper burial
When your country is haunted
When your nation has a dark past and history that still haunts and affects you
By the ghost of a past history
The ghosts of past traumas and tragedies still linger and affect you
There's just no other option
When you feel like you have no other choice or way to cope with the pain and trauma
Than to grasp to your arms of belief
You hold onto your beliefs and values as a way to find meaning and purpose amidst the pain and suffering
When you can't find the middle
When you are lost and can't find balance or stability in your life
And your heart is so shriveled
When you feel broken, hurt, and emotionally drained
All your friends they just bled you dry
Your friends have taken advantage of you and drained you emotionally and financially
While you were off getting sky high
While you were busy chasing temporary pleasures and escaping from reality
Oh no
Expressing feelings of despair and hopelessness
