Sunday Morning (the Day and the Song) + a Banana Suit
Sunday morning brings the dawn in
It's just a restless feelin' by my side
Early dawnin', Sunday mornin'
It's just the wasted years so close behind
In honour of The Velvet Underground & Nico here is me in a banana suit
I had dreams about love today. Dreams about beauty, interest, and the wonderful feeling of falling. And then I woke up, and I realised the reality of my situation. A part of me was sad at the thought that the feelings I had in my dream were illusory, and yet as I sit here in bed writing this blog post, I cannot help but feel motivation. I feel sad at what I have lost, and yet I feel a profound longing for completion just being me.
“This is a song about when you’ve done something so sad and you wake up the next day and you remember it. Not to sound grim or anything… just, once in a while, you have one of those days.”
The song Sunday Morning by The Velvet Underground & Nico brings to words what kind of day it is today, and maybe perhaps what every day will feel like for a while. I do not think I ever realised the sadness of the song, as I usually listened to it feeling calm, peaceful and happy. However as I listen to its lyrics now more intently, I cannot help but feel like there is a sliver of hope within it as well. As we go into the new days trying to outrun the old, being haunted by regret and fear, we have to remember that "there's always someone around you who will call. It's nothin' at all."
I think this completion I am speaking about, is being that someone for myself.
