So here we are at Sunday. Our seventh day in the Days of the challenge my dad launched at me one week ago today.
Now Sunday, like Saturday, had a number of songs I could have chosen.
But so many of them on closer listen were really depressing.
And well, it’s Christmas! So I felt I couldn’t get too gloomy.
So where did I land?
Iggy Pop’s Sunday, from his Post Pop Depression album released in March 2016.
Yup. 2016. This is about as current as I get on the blog.
It’s Iggy Pop’s 17th studio album and produced by Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age.
One article I read described this song as “a gift that we didn’t even know we wanted.”
So Merry Christmas!
A short sample:
The key to everything
I crawl for Sunday
When I don’t have to move
Caught up in dreams, untangled one day
Where I don’t have to prove
The days roll on and finally Sunday
A Sunday afternoon
I’ve got it all
And so what now?
I love Sundays. It’s the one day I get to sleep in. So I really DO crawl for Sunday. The one day where I don’t really have to move.
It felt pretty perfect.
But it being Christmas and all, I Googled Christmas AND Sunday.
And the Internet didn’t let me down.
Here’s the 12 Days of Christmas, a 2006 cover of said classic performed by the band Taking Back Sunday.
And with that – take back YOUR Sunday. Have a wonderful day and a very Merry Christmas!
Wow! Iggy Pop is on his 17th studio album? That was fun to hear. I was totally thrown for a loop after reading this. As usual, I had a blast going through your musical features, and am always sad when they come to an end. Do you have another feature in mind in 2017? I’m on the edge of my seat to find out what it will be!

Thanks so much for reading and commenting and I’m so glad you liked it! As for other ideas, I’m open to suggestions – but I’m sure I’ll find something this year for music :). I already found an “x” for vampires if I try to do the alphabet again for Halloween… Always good to plan!
