Can't believe they'd built a studio by 1997 ready to pile out more stuff. for nothing to happen. they will always have a market and fan base. I love them as much aged 44 as I did aged 17 and so it seems does everyone else

Perhaps we're just not worthy and they don't need the hassle or the money any longer, who knows? I do believe they've fulfilled their contract with Geffen. Perhaps they now only write and sing for their children and friends these days. In any case, good God, what a great live act they were. I'll never forget those experiences, as long as I live.

I have a lot of respect for artists who find themselves in a position of success after producing something great, but recognise that they want to move on from the music biz and explore other parts of life. I'm sure they loved making music but it does become work in the business and that can kill your enthusiasm. It's hard to make inspired music when the passion isn't there. To keep it alive you have to make big sacrifices and be completely obsessed and driven. I bet the home studio was an attempt to reduce the sacrifice required but it just didn't solve the fundamental problem. Making things more convenient doesn't help when at the end of the day your heart isn't in it any more. On top of that, you age, fashions change, life happens. Props to them for recognising it was time to move on. It's a dignified and mature decision to make and they already gave us enough.

Harriet's voice and the swirl of David's guitar playing encouraged me through some moments of loss of a relationship (I was at a really loose end). The other guys in the band possibly didn't get the recognition in the press they deserved (mainly because of the fact that David and Harriet were an item, also there are few bands who promote the bassist or drummer), but as a band they were all fantastic. I'm still in love with the song Goodbye, so well crafted and played. I notice Harriet has a Bristol accent when singing (e.g. "Am I cold or just a little bit waaarm"), she studied in Bristol at the same time as David, so perhaps that's a factor.

Why did they stop? My guess is Harriet lost her singing voice. I saw them perform on Friday December 5, 1997 and Saturday December 6, 1997 at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. Both shows were awesome but I later noticed in recordings of the tour that Harriet was having issues hitting the high notes in the songs. After the Friday show, I hung around until David and Harriet came out to see the 20 or so members of the Sundays Mailing list that wanted to meet them. The list admin was there and one fan flew in from San Fran. We had no idea if they would show and security tried but didn't get us to leave. Harriet was pleasant but one thing I noticed immediately about her was that she had a very deep voice. Later I read she was a smoker and well, we all know what that does to a voice. There was a beer incident- Harriet balanced a beer on a chair armrest and it fell and broke. Someone picked up a bottle fragment and said it was for their collection. During our conversations they let it leak that Saturday morning they were doing a Toy For Tots benefit show, to be announced Saturday morning on radio station 99X. So we heard it first, and I was at Toy-R-Us at 7:30am finding a toy to donate (that was the admission fee). It was packed for Friday's show, but on Saturday there was a bit more room and I was able to get right up to the stage. I still vividly remember David playing that guitar and getting goosebumps from Harriet singing those beautiful songs.

@AdrenalineConcept2 жыл бұрын
That's a cool story with the gigs man! The band called it a day to raise a family. It's quite well documented now. Listening to their final gigs her voice certainly wasn't shot. They continued to write music but raising a family was priority, and time went by and the desire to share the songs probably wore thin. The other band members stayed active in the industry - one as a musician, the other in a part of the music industry. I understand their kids are both at Bristol Uni now. Being nearly 30 years since their last gig it would seem unlikely they'd return. Seemed to be a band sceptical of fame and risk compromising their value system as people. Throw in the pressure of writing new music for a fan base 3 albums in - living a low key life as they've successfully managed to for nearly 3 decades seems logical to continue on doing. David and Harriette can enjoy their lives as a couple with safety and privacy this way too.

Of course Harriet has a beautiful voice and her husband is the consummate musician and arranger . Its a good bet they were forced to make a comeback . The record companies, most managers, all sorts of middleman and lawyers in the music and entertainment business are predators . Through dodgy contracts they signed when they were young were probably filled with all sorts of legalese to rip them off . These scumbags will try to squeeze every bit of life and money out of artists and bands . Badfinger a band in 1970 were great yet these middlemen and in particular their manager screwed them out of almost all their earnings . Two of the band members wrote a song Without You which Harry Neilson recorded and sold a million records. Its been recorded and performed by many till this day . the songwriters didn't recieve a penny from it . both committed suicide . Badfinger is probably the rule and not the exception , without that many suicides but most entertainers end up broke and not from their own overspending . again the entertainment business is a monster which will eat you up and spit you out .

I found the interviewer to be a great match for the two. Although most likely he wasn't a fan of the Sundays and probably hadn't listened to much Sundays other than what was being played around in public at the time, he took a series of very basic questions that he was assigned to ask and ended up getting much more information out of Harriet and David than on any of the other YT uploaded Sundays interviews I've seen. I'd say as a trio, the interviewer and the two songwriting Sundays hit the ball out of the park for munchy-themed softball interview format.
