18) "The Mid-Morning Recording"          The Sundays-'Blind'
I first remember hearing The Sundays upon the release of their classic first album, when I was working in a record store situated in a huge mall that now lies empty like a vast ghost town. I happened to have bought this, their second album, the day it came out in America, in another record store in that same mall. Now, it seems strange to think of this music playing over the mall intercom system while the huge building lies empty. You hear the sound of an angel, but you're alone in a terribly eerie and spooky place that reeks of caramel corn and childhood memories. That pretty much describes this album; it's deep and dark, but at the same time it is fanciful, light, sweet and full of life's questions. Each of three albums released by this band deal with different lyrical content, and this album is their certainly their darkest and most thought provoking. Not really a carbon-copy of their amazing first album, but the sound was still familiar to fans of the time, but still different enough to be interesting. This album also has what could be the best Rolling Stones cover ever made, and weirdly enough, their cover of "Wild Horses" may even be their most popular song to date. Similar to the The Smiths, they had very little output over the lifespan of the band, but so how sweet and timeless these pieces are. Hopefully this band makes a return at some point, because if they make more music, that could only be a good thing. Kate Bush came out of retirement, so one can only hope that another great female singer makes another angelic appearance. I'm also so glad to say that I seen this wonderful band play live, and luckily in my favorite building in the town I was born in: The Majestic Theater - San Antonio (Click for picture). "And I liked you for 24 hours in your house, and now the time has come to live again, I shall."
