I thought since I have been addicted to music since I was a kid I would add a feature here that will allow me to reflect on the favourite music through out my life. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

The Sundays were an English alternative rock group. The band, formed in the mid-1980s, released three albums in the late 1980s and 1990s. Their music is characterized by singer Harriet Wheeler's dreamy voice, David Gavurin's rich and jangly guitar sound, and suspension-rich harmonies.

I fell in love with her voice immediately when I heard it. I must have listened to these albums 100's of times. I regret I never got to see them in concert.

The Sundays were widely heralded by the British press after early gigs in London in 1988, drawing comparisons with Cocteau Twins and The Smiths.


"Here's Where The Story Ends" (1990)

The group's first single, "Can't Be Sure", was released in 1989 and was voted number one in John Peel's Festive Fifty that year.

The band achieved a measure of success in 1990 with its debut album, Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, which went gold in the UK and U.S.


"Goodbye" (1992)

I vow that it's goodbye
to the old ways
those stories were a good read
they were dumb as well

Subsequent albums Blind (1992) and Static and Silence (1997) also went gold in the United States.


"Wild Horses (Cover)" (1992)

Their version of the song "Wild Horses" was used as the last dance song at the Prom in the popular '90s TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was also featured on the first released soundtrack for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and in the movie Fear with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg during the roller coaster ride. It was also featured at the end of the season 3 CSI episode 'Crash and Burn'. It was also used in a long-running Budweiser television advertisement in the early 1990s, featuring slow-motion footage of galloping Clydesdale horses.


"Love" (1992)

just love yourself like no one else
time's so scarce where I come from
let them say what they like cos they still can't take your love

The band has been on a lengthy hiatus since the release of Static and Silence. Wheeler and Gavurin are focusing on raising their two children.
