Songbook Xtended: Sunchyme



Dario G - Sunchyme (1997) [Original Post]

In 1997 I enjoyed the hell out of Sunchyme. It's the kind of song I think we're supposed to forget. A cheesy dance song resting awfully hard on an obvious sample. Life in a Northern Town is arguably the better song and you should make sure you hear that before you imprint on this. Then you can appreciate it with proper diction and class. Because I still like Sunchyme. It's joyous with just a hint of melancholy. The kind of song that feels like the end credits for real life. Or maybe I'm still just getting over a personal loss. Maybe one way to do that is to reclaim an old pleasure. Check that video. Take it for what it is. An amazing expression of the natural world. This was years before the Long King took broadway. Good stuff.
