| Song information: Sunday. Like "Bundesdroegen", "Sunday" is the product of a series of changes and adjustments. Stage One: The riff is invented and is provisionally entitled "Sunday" after a Sonic Youth song Chrys likes. Stage Two: The original lyrics are written about the psychodynamic model of Sigmund Freud and the song is renamed "Psychodynamic Song". This was the first of many Bearssongs to be suffixed with the word "Song". Stage Three: After one performance of "Psychodynamic Song", the lyrics are changed to a brief exploration of indoctrination and racism, such as that of the Hitler Youth. The song is renamed "Baby Racist". Stage Four: As an attempt to lengthen the song, an extra part is added, in which the tempo and rhythm change drastically. This part is still in "Sunday" today. The lyrics are changed to the modern lyrics; apparently about success in organised crime and its effect on sanity. The promotional artwork is done, as seen below. Stage Five: The song is renamed "Sunday", as it is no-longer about racism and contains the word "Sunday", and makes its debut at "March 4th". Since the finished version has been completed and performed live, the original "Psychodynamic Song" has actually out-numbered it in terms of play counts. Sometimes the lyrics of both versions have been mixed up within the same performance. Matthew-James Paish has expressed that it is his favourite Bearssong, it is also a fan favourite as it is the closest The Bears come to anthemic rock songs. From interview: "It was called "Sunday" before it had words, so when I put the final words together, I wanted to incorporate the song's origin. It made sense to change the title back to "Sunday", as the title "Baby Racist" didn't match the new lyrics at all." ""It's still Sunday in my special place" is about someone shutting reality out and living a fantasy world." |
