Sia – 'Sunday'

'Sunday' by Sia is perhaps one of the best songs that truly talk about the many, many feelings Sunday morning evokes. The song has 'classic' value and is a 'morning-after' cure: the song you should listen to after a night out on town and waking up on Sunday with a headache and the dread of having to somehow get your system working enough to be at work/school come Monday. Sia's voice has an enchanting melodic quality, and the song washes over you in waves. The lyrics are a masterpiece: 'For those who wake with a blind headache / Who must be still / Who will sit and wait, for Sunday to be Monday.' Sia is an Australian singer, and her chartbuster track 'Breathe Me' is a far better known song, as is her work with the band Zero 7. However, 'Sunday' is a must-listen to, especially while you clutch your precious cup of coffee, or follow Sia's lyrics as she croons, 'Do nothing today / Give yourself a break / Let your imagination run away.'

No Doubt – 'Sunday Morning'

Does anyone miss No Doubt? Their brilliant album Tragic Kingdom featured a number of hit singles – but what stood out was the infectious song 'Sunday Morning.' 'Sunday morning' is the antithesis of Sia's 'Sunday' – it sounds poppy and chirpy but at the same time the lyrics make it wistful and tinged with angst. Gwen Stefani's voice has matured over the years, but on 'Sunday Morning' she sounds very edgy and that was the hallmark of No Doubt! 'Sunday Morning' also has rather interesting lyrics, with 'You came in with the breeze / On Sunday morning / You sure have changed since yesterday / Without any warning.' The 'I thought I knew you' chorus will make you sing along with Gwen Stefani and wish for a No Doubt revival!

U2 – 'Sunday Bloody Sunday'

U2's 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' is yet another classic, and deservedly so. The song, done by the true-to-their-Irish-roots legendary band, talked about the Northern Ireland conflict and described the feelings of apathy and anger very aptly. Featuring brilliant guitar work from The Edge, 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' is now an anthem from the iconic band. Perhaps more apt than ever for Pakistan, the song might just be the perfect soundtrack to the deteriorating security situation.
