"it's that little souvenir of a terrible year. . . " Those were the first words I heard from Harriet's voice over seven years ago and I knew that i'd discovered something special. I was thirteen then and The SUNDAYS have given me many beautiful songs and memories to grow up with. Now with the release of Static and Silence I know they will continue to give me more. I cherish every song they have written which is a rare occasion. To me they are not just another band with a video on MTV and a "too good for you" attitude, they are like old friends who you become reacquainted with every few years. They touch your soul and relate to your feelings. They will always be my favourite.

We used to play the radio at work. And from time to time there would be these really great songs, with this female vocalist who could really sing. I was'nt keen on keeping tabs on names of certain bands. All I knew is that very band was The Sundays. And that beautiful angelic voice was that of the beautiful Harriet Wheeler. Some groups can take your mind off of your problems or work. But the Sundays do that with ease. As a musician with my own band I know good music when I hear it. I wish them great success. Just keep doing what you do. Your music has touched the heart of many listeners, including me.

Sincerely

In the summer of 1990 I was introduced to the Sundays while ironing clothes for my boyfriend's mother in an apartment in Berlin, Germany. I had turned the t.v. on for some distraction and not speaking any German at the time I had the single option of British Mtv. The video for "here's where the story end" came on and i became mesmerized with the ethereal voice of Harriet Wheeler. I felt as though I had stumbled across a lullaby written just for me. Six months later at home in the states I found the Reading, Writing and Arithmatic in a friends music collection and borrowed it immediately. Actually, borrowing means you return something and to this day my friend reminds me that I never returned his tape. So anyway, I listened to" R,W and A" every night for at least a year as I went to sleep and Harriet's voice was like that of a mother, rocking a child to sleep. Skip four years. My husband is diagnosed with a terminal illness with a poor prognosis at age 28. I was 23. And I fell apart, the daily struggle of wondering if my husband would be alive when I woke in the morning took a toll on me and I went into therapy. It was around this time that I found the second cd by the Sundays in our local music store while browsing in the used section. Every song on this cd related to something going on in my life and touched on my therapy experiences. I listened to this cd several times a day and I felt amazingly comforted by it. It got me through some of the most painful days of my life. Skip three years. This is the first time that I have ever put the release of a cd on my calendar. ( Sadly, because of their long silence I thought they had broken up or just stopped playing.) So many of the songs on Static and Silence touch an extremely personal place in my heart. The song Cry is almost more than I can bear but it is just what I need to help me through a painful time once again. The Sundays have always emerged at very emotional times in my life and have marked the most important events. My gratitude is endless for the loveliness that they have shared through their music. They are a very special part of my life. Thank you for the opportunity to share what they have meant to me.

The first time I heard The Sundays, I was completely enveloped by the angelic voice of Harriet Wheeler. I began searching for pictures to see what she looked like. I knew she could be nothing but incredibly beautiful. I found nothing. "Blind" was finally released and I thought just maybe some band photos would be included. Nothing. My search continued. A few years went by and I was extremely disapointed to hear rumors that they had broken up. Another year or so passed and I heard on the radio the most comforting sound . A soothing sound that could only be Harriet Wheeler. It was a song called "Summertime". It felt so good the band and her voice once more. I felt as if I'd been reunited with an old friend. Shortly thereafter I saw Harriet for the first time in the video for the same song. It had been years of waiting to see the face that matched the voice and it was worth every minute. She is everything I imagined. Her voice alone described the soft beauty of her face. The Sundays have become one of my favorite bands ever and I wait patiently for their next incredible song.

I love the Sundays immensely. I just recently saw them perform in NYC at the Supper Club and I loved every minute of their show. I wished they could play all night long. Harriet's voice was superb! The music was terrific! Hearing them live was better than listening to their CD's. It was so much fun seeing them perform finally (it was my first time)! TOUR AGAIN!

Go HARRIET! I LOVE YOU!

Love, Kevin
 

Well where do I begin.I just bought the latest CD form The Sundays. It was like coming home. I just found the web pages containing pictures of the Band and the beautiful face that goes with the beautiful voice I've so longed to see. It started about 7 or 8 years ago. I heard The Sundays on the radio and fell in LOVE with the music and the voice that kept me coming back for more. I could'nt get enough. Then another record came out, still I had never seen a picture.I wanted so bad to match the voice with a face. A friend said they saw a video and she was cute but I never got to see it.I tried to get in touch with The record company to see if they would send me something but no luck there either. Anyway today is one of the best days of my life. I finally pulled up some web sights on The Sundays and got to see them. I started reading the things people wrote and They said everything I was feeling. I could not believe it.Anyway...Thanks for all the songs and the way they make me feel. I went for so long thinking you broke up. Thank GOD for miracles !!!! I will see you live. I just found out that I missed you at the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C.....Next time.

I remember when "Reading Writing & Arithmetic" first came out--i fell in love with the Sundays right then and there. Unfortunately for me, i never got to see them tour back in the day. Lucky for me, i just recently got to see them in DC when they came in December (1997). Lucky for me (and i am a naughty one!), i bootlegged the concert, and so i will always have the memories of it. I have never seen anyone play the guitar as David Gavurin does--i was completely mesmorised by him. Thank God their long silence wasn't a permanent one! I'll be psyched if they come out with another album soon. Love that band...

For years know I have been turning people on to The Sundays.  Everybody says the same thing...Oh my God, What a voice!  There are so many things that I love about The Sundays...Harriets voice, the complicated sound and the unbelievable talent of the entire band.  Here's my wonderful story of how I met them.  It was February 11, 1994 and they played Deep Ellum Live, being that I was in radio at that time, I scored 2 freebies.  The show was phenominal, I was moved by every lick of the guitar and every note that was
sung--a truly uplifting experience.  After the show, as I floated on my cloud, I saw the record rep who had given me the tickets and thanked him profusely. And then the words that came out of his mouth next will live in my mind forever..."Do you want to go backstage and meet them?"  Oh, if I never thanked God before for anything I was thanking him that night and every night since then.  After waiting at the back door for a 1/2 hour, we were escorted back and stood in the hallway.  A door opened and Harriett walked right to me and said "Hello, I'm Harriet and this is David"  I couldn't say a word--I stood there speechless, shocked, and amazed, my friend had to tell them everything because I literally couldn't speak.  Other people came into the room but quickly left after talking to them, we sat and drank a rolling rock (still have the bottle).  I asked Harriet what did "Here's where the story ends" mean to her.  She said and I quote "Well, it's about anything that you like, if you like ice skating, it's about ice skating."  We talked about where they were going next and life in England.  I told them that I wanted to tour with them and they were in need of a tambourine player--David said "You know the songs, right-then you'll know the tambourine parts, when can you leave?"  Hearing them live, meeting them and know an opportunity to tour with them for two months...What would you have done?  If I knew then what I knew now, I would have left right then and there.  But at that time I had a job, car payment etc.  I have to go but I wanted to share this story.  I love The Sundays and upon my departure from meeting them I gave Harriet a peace symbol bracelet, she gave me a smile and a hug.  Peace to all Sundays fans---there should be more people like us.

I first heard the Sundays while visiting my aunt. She is only four years older than me and we had similar musical tastes. I was about thirteen then, anyway I immediatly knew I was listening to something special and I asked her to make me a copy of it right then and there. After that I played the tape everyday for a year straight, until it broke. Then one day a couple of years later I was at my boyfriends house and he put on the c.d.. I freaked out and begged him  to let me borrow it. Since then I have listened to The Sundays almost every day. And then my boyfriend told me he was going to take me to see them in concert and I got so excited!!! The day of the concert I got all ready and we drove down there only to discover that the show was cancelled!! That was the Blind tour. I was disheartened. You can imagine how excited I was when I heard about Static and Silence! And then for Christmas I received it as a present from the very man who let me borrow that first tape. So naturally I had to marry him; who else understood my passion for the Sundays?!   Now if I could just get him to take me to a concert!!!

The album STATIC & SILENCE took me by surprise from the first moment I caught a glimpse of the cd in the store. Needless to say, I bought as soon as I saw it! I was comforted by the moon on the cover and wondered if the music would do the same.  I had no idea that SUMMERTIME was the creation of the Sundays. I was reallly impressed with that song per se as I was with the subsequent songs, some of which have become anthems to long lost or unrequited love (e.g., CRY). So, I decided to get more of their albums, "Reading,Writing, Arithemetic" and "Blind". "Blind" has also comforted me throughout the months being away from home at college. "...I feel fine..." are lyrics that is the culmination of the need to be at peace, at least for me anyway.  But what really got me was the discovery that the group is the creator of WILD HORSES, a song I was tempted to request over the phone but wasn't sure of its exact title or artist. Now the song is part of my "Unrequited Love" collection recorded on tape! I can only say this about the Sundays:  Without their music, I would dread waking up on Sundays. NOw I invite the word "Sundays" with passion, love, and adoration.

What more can be said about our favorite band The SUNDAYS!  From the first
time that I heard "Here's Where The Story Ends" we fell in love with the band.
My girlfried fell in love with The SUNDAYS.  The very first time I called her
on the phone we were both listening to "Reading, Writing and Arithmetic". This after talking to each other in school for about a month.  Neither knew that the other's favorite band was such.  Suffice it to say we never miss a concert of theirs when they are in Los Angeles or the surrounding area. Harriet's angelic voice and David melodic riffs keep us coming back and wanting more.  I only hope they continue with their music and help us with living through this tough world day by day.  It has been many a day and night that The SUNDAYS sooth our spirits and help us to continue day by day.  What more can be said than for us, their music is what music was meant to be!  Hope to hear from then soon.  We are longing for new material and ofcourse, concert dates!

I first heard the Sundays when I was thirteen. They did the music at the start of 'Newman and Baddiel' and I remember thinking WHO were this fantastic band? Then my uncle got me 'Blind' on New Year's Eve '94 and from then on I was besotted. The best thing about it is that Harriet was the main inspiration for me to start singing, and, amazingly, I actually sound like her - and I never thought I could sing! I have been threatened with being sent in for 'Stars In Their Eyes' before if I don't stop bellowing along to them in my room. I haven't found anyone
yet except my uncle (Hello Andrew) who adores them half as much as I do, so this is one of the first pages I've gone into on my new PC! Its wonderful to enter a world where the Sundays rule... The other thing, is that 'Medicine', very fittingly, made me feel a lot better when I was ill and depressed, not in a happy was as such, more that playing it out loud and singing to it was just so completely cathartic that I owe a lot to it, and it will always be a song that will be with me.
 
Love and joy,

I first heard The Sundays a few years ago on the soundtrack of a Fox MX video (Fox is a U.S. based motocross clothing company, if your not familiar with them).  Anyway, Harriet Wheeler has, by far the most beautiful singing voice the world has ever heard.  Their songs are very powerful and tell a wonderful story,But if your reading this, your a huge fan as well, and thus already know this.  Thanks for this site and, thank you The Sundays!

I am getting married on Oct 16, 1999.  At our reception our first dance will be to "When I'm Thinking AboutYou" from Static & Silence.  We have several songs but none that we specifically called our own...how sad we've been together nearly five years!  We went through our cds and were mortified at the thought of relying on some frightening Celine Dion song.  So I asked him one day "What songs make you think of me?"  My darling Adonis (that's his real name, I am not kidding) said "Anything by the Sundays."  If others don't get it we don't care...it's our wedding afterall!  2nd choice? "Certain Someone"

Just discovered the Sundays...Where the story ends is THE perfect pop song...only wish I was heartbroken so I could have a reason for playing it endlessly...thanks for helping me out with the lyrics.
