Sunday morning moment of bliss...

I love playing this song on quiet, sunny Sunday mornings.  The song features a celesta, a keyboard instrument that sounds like a tinkly metal xylophone.  The mood of the lyrics is wistful and poignant, and even slightly cautious and wary.

The track comes from the wonderful The Velvet Underground & Nico LP, released in 1967.

Lyrics:

Sunday morning, praise the dawning
It’s just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It’s just the wasted years so close behind
Watch out, the world’s behind you
There’s always someone around you who will call
It’s nothing at all

Sunday morning and I’m falling
I’ve got a feeling I don’t want to know
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It’s all the streets you crossed, not so long ago
Watch out, the world’s behind you
There’s always someone around you who will call
It’s nothing at all

Watch out, the world’s behind you
There’s always someone around you who will call
It’s nothing at all

Sunday morning...
Sunday morning...
Sunday morning...
