Sunday Funday? No it is New Music Friday. That means New Music on a Friday, this time featuring NY based duo TOLEDO and their song "Sunday Funday - Alt". This is an alternate version of their song "Sunday Funday", a song off their most recent EP, 'Jockeys of Love'. "Sunday Funday - Alt" is a B-side to the single "David". To get some context what TOLEDO is all about, you can listen to "Sunday Funday" and "David" below:
"Sunday Funday - Alt" lays you down softly on a bed of banjo and acoustic guitars, where it whispers soft and bittersweet meditations in your ear. "Sunday Funday - Alt" takes a more strictly organic approach to it's more produced counterpart's blend of acoustic guitars, electric slides, synthesizer noises and spaced out vocal harmonies. Both have "the party is over" sentiment in the chorus:
You're crying and sober
'Cause Sunday is over
I'm trying to handle you as tight as I can
In a detached context this is a cheeky moment between two loved ones, whereas the verses give light to painful intimacy:
I'm sorry that I don't know how to talk about drinking
You said Dad's on a bend and you're sending those texts
While you're shaking
I'm holding my nose and jumping into this
Faking the lines
I just see the frame, I was never that good with the painting
...
You're lying awake, you're turning away and detaching
'Cause whenever I ask what it is
You say, "Thank you for asking, " again
For holding my hand
For helping me handle
See I'm laughing
And adjusting the frame so you don't see the pain when it happens
If this is somewhat relatable to a listener, maybe plan for tears? But also plan for feeling good since you let it out? I think that is all the lyricist wants here. Listen to TOLEDO "Sunday Funday - Alt" below:
