SUNDAY MORNING’s ode to love, loss, and the weight of memories that never fully fade

VANCOUVER’s SUNDAY MORNING return with new single, the Verve/Bowie-tinged ‘Carry the Sky,’ a gut-wrenching ode to love, loss, and the weight of memories that never fully fade.

Frontman and founder Bruce Wilson’s music career took shape in New York and Detroit after his drug and alcohol fuelled grunge punk band Tankhog imploded in Vancouver in the late ‘90s. Years of addiction, lost time, and eventual recovery reshaped his creative voice, and returning to Vancouver, Wilson secluded himself away at the Waldorf Hotel, rebuilding through writing, a decision that led to the birth of Sunday Morning.

“’Sunday Morning’ has always been a very personal project and the subject matter of the songs come from my direct experiences, though they’re often masked in allegory and poetic license,” he said. “‘Carry the Sky’ differs from previous songs because it is, at its essence, a tribute to two beautiful people I loved dearly who died and left intangible chasms in my life that will never be filled.”

The song’s chorus was written after losing close friend Christian, and the verses following the death of his sister Juliet soon after.

“I didn’t want this song to be stuck in my grief but to have a sense of celebration for these two lives who brought so much love, compassion and wisdom into my life. The crushing weight of loss is a universal inescapable gravity and yet trying to express it is so difficult. I have certain spiritual beliefs that allow me to talk to Juliet and Christian often and I hope they like this song as they carry the sky.”

Carry the Sky was produced and mixed by Jamey Koch (The Tragically Hip, Copyright) at Vancouver’s The Warehouse Studio, with additional production by Felix Fung.
