Sunday Morning

Greatly Appreciated

SUNDAY MORNING
 
 
“Sunday Morning”  is a song by the Velvet Underground.  It is the opening track on their 1967 debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico.  It was also released as a single in 1966 with “Femme Fatale”.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Perhaps the biggest surprise is that the Velvet Underground often creates beautiful and mellow songs, and one need go no further than the opening track on their first album to find it – the laid-back “Sunday Morning” is every bit as lovely as a song with that name should be, but it is coming from the same band that created harrowing tales like “Heroin” and “Sister Ray”.  A compilation album called VU collected several similarly mellow songs that were intended for the Velvet Underground’s never-released fourth album.
