Everyday Is Like SundayMorrissey

Everyday Is Like Sunday (2010 Remaster)
Everyday Is Like SundayMorrissey

A hit solo release by Morrissey, former singer of the British band THE SMITHS—virtually the standard-bearers of the genre known as “positive punk.” The chorus, with its line “Every day is like Sunday,” is especially striking.

The songwriting and sound design are memorable for how they let his “never-straining yet deep voice” breathe within a richly reverbed vocal treatment reminiscent of his time with THE SMITHS, creating a distinctive atmosphere.

In a sense, you could even call it a defining sound of the 1980s.
