Sunday songs of Western music: world classics and popular hits

Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

When you look through lists of Western songs, you notice there are a lot of titles that use the word “Sunday,” don’t you?

In many countries overseas where Christianity is prevalent, Sunday is seen as a day of worship and a holiday, so it might be considered a special day of the week.

In this article, we’ll introduce a selection of songs from abroad that take Sunday as their theme, all in one go!

We’ve picked from a wide range of genres, from rock bands and jazz to pop.

Be sure to take your time listening while checking out the lyrics.
