The Sundays - Here's Where The Story Ends

buen grupo...

[@nema1218]

I can't believe this song,and the entire album was released 18 yrs ago in 1990.I read that this song peaked at number 1 on U.S Modern Rock Charts.The Sundays are one of the best underrated bands of all time!

reminds me of my time in college in the early 90s at UCLA, spending most of it in coffee houses, meeting my girlfriend at the time; carefree; idealistic; alive; listening to it now is quite depressing - memories of times long gone

[@Atramation]

The Sundays are too underrated

[@danlc95]

The song is pure bliss. The vocalist is so beautiful, her voice, and she herself.

[@batphink2655]

She is just pure loveliness if there is such a word! Her husband is an extremely fortunate man and great songwriter!

Hearing this and I'm straight back in the early 90s and in my early 20s watching MTV's Alternative Nation late at night. I miss those days. The 90s were great. Great music and bands.

[@herbertrude1689]

Harriet Wheeler's crystalline voice delivers light and pure soul without a trace of mawkishness. And the band chimes perfectly with great clarity and resonance. Classic, deep pop by an underrated outfit.

[@zoranstanisic4130]

Even after 34 years I adore this song and Harriet Wheeler's voice...it was love at first listen.

[@arnoldtankus]

This is such a pretty and underestimated song. One of the most beautiful records you never hear on the radio anymore. Heartbreaking, melancholic, simple, but awesome. Love this song forever! 👌

Heard it today while grocery shopping. (already in my favorites list for years.) I'm 71 in Massachusetts.

[@Feyd01]

12inchvertical What a beautiful comment.

[@Grybop]

It's been 23 years and I still can't get enough of this song.

[@soundvisionary13]

I had not heard this song in 20 years when I stumbled onto it and it brought me back to my sad year of 1992 when I had just separated from my then wife and infant daughter. This song was the representation of how I exactly felt that year.
Sometime later in 1993 I was walking up Kentish Town Road and I spotted Harriet the singer passing by. I walked up to her and asked her if she was indeed the singer of 'The Sundays'. Instead of her being cautious we suddenly got on like a house on fire, she was as curious about me as I was of her.
Needless to say she was even more beautiful in person from the photos and I felt my heart strings flutter. To this day I can't think as to why after a handful of blocks I suddenly said I had to go another direction and I noticed with at least a hint of disappointment Harriet say,"Oh. Do you have to go then?" Maybe it was because the end of my marriage was still so red raw and her song was the soundtrack to that end. But most likely it was probably because I was a chicken to walk further on with her.
Although I never got back with my wife and we're friends today and I see my daughter and I am happily remarried for many years with the woman of my dreams, when I played that song back tonight I sobbed so hard I feel out of my chair choking. Such a powerful song; It brought it all back.

[@AmandaLaggan]

[@danielvillalobos356]

[@richa8937]

[@ashcowder5971]

Summer 1990. Up late. Watching 120 Minutes on MTV. This came on. Life. Changed.

[@rappeed03]

I first saw this video (the first time I ever heard the song) on MTV when I lived in Texas in 1990 and I knew instantly it was one of the best tracks I'd ever heard. It ranks in my top 10 favorites of all time. I was completely sold as a fan of the Sundays and bought everything they ever released since. They're fantastic and Harriet is a true songbird.

[@batphink2655]

I heard this song at a gig I played in Waterdown On ,Canada with the girl I thought I'd marry. This song nearly gave me an out of body experience so asked the bar owner who it was. How did I miss this is in the 90's? What a lovely voice and song! My girl ditched me 2 years later as I got sick and I now write songs about that in 2023! Oh the irony!

[@batphink2655]

CD. It's gorgeous. I saw them in 91, I think and met them after the show, Harriet & David. They are as sweet in person as their music sounds.

What a beautiful voice singing one of the best songs ever! An earworm to me since I listened to it first shortly after release.

[@MaryShelley72]

This has got to be one of the greatest records ever. Harriet has one of the most amazing, lyrical instruments in her voice, it's how I imagine angels sing in heaven. I was lucky to see them in a small venue in DC in '98, and it was one of the best concerts I've seen. Wish they would come back!

[@MadMusicologist]

They were one of the very few bands from northern Europe I really LOVED to listen to. Hope they once start it up again, the story should not end here. But I am dreaming, or 12 years too late.

[@fractalign]

Another band that passed me by in what was a golden age of indie music. In the pre internet days 20 plus years ago, music like this was hard to hear, outside of the old world media of radio and television. If the radio or television did not play it and the record store could not get it in for you, then you did not get to hear it. There are dozens of bands that I read about through the NME and Melody Maker back then that I never got to hear until TH-cam came along, and this is one of them.

[@jaymythxxxx]

''Golden age'' is about right. The '86-'92 indie scene was just unbelievable, but so hard to hear. John Peel/Janice Long on the radio, Snub TV/The Chart Show (Indie Top 10 rundown) on telly - that was it. Once ''Psychocandy'' showed me that there was life outside the Top 40, I bought NME, MM, et al religiously (Do you remember a magazine called ''Underground''? It was a monthly that lasted for about 16 issues in '87, '88; it was my Bible) and bought records on the strength of reviews, with crossed fingers! So much amazing music that I'd never have heard otherwise.

[@erad67]

fractalign I didn't read any of those music magazines, but somehow I ended up with this band's CD or tape. I look back on my music collection from then and have no idea how I found all those cool bands.

[@lievenvanschoor2911]

[@MarkSutphin]

I remember the day I saw this on MTV 120 mins and my jaw just dropped...magical, beautiful and simply the best...

The Sundays came to Japan during the mid 90s.
I stood 2m from Harriet at Club Chitta in Kawasaki City while she sang this song.
There were about 250 or so people there,mostly foreigners like me.
The band put on a really cool show and it was a wonderful thing to have been there.
I bought the T-shirt with the giant hand on it and still have it lol,What a great band!

Me too!!! I was just watching VH1 and they played it so I'm here. It's been stuck in my head for at least 19 years! Tried looking for it but since English isn't my native language never made up the lyrics until now, I thought it was "here's where the story goes"...

People I know, places I go
Make me feel tongue tied
I can see how, people look down
They're on the inside
Here's where the story ends
People I see, weary of me
Showing my good side
I can see how, people look down
I'm on the outside
Here's, where the story ends
Ooh here's, where the story ends
It's that little souvenir, of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
Oh I never should have said, the books that you read
Were all I loved you for
It's that little souvenir, of a terrible year
Which makes me wonder why
And it's the memories of the shed, that make me turn red
Surprise, surprise, surprise
Crazy I know, places I go
Make me feel so tired
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
Here's, where the story ends
Ooh here's, where the story ends
It's that little souvenir, of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
And who ever would've thought, the books that you brought
Were all I loved you for
Oh the devil in me said, go down to the shed
I know where I belong
But the only thing I ever really wanted to say
Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong
It's that little souvenir, of a colorful year
Which makes me smile inside
So I cynically, cynically say, the world is that way
Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise
Here's, where the story ends
Ooh here's, where the story ends
