who wrote the song easy like sunday morning?
lionel richie
written by commodores lead singer lionel richie, the song is a slow ballad expressing a man's feelings as a relationship ends. rather than being depressed about the break-up, he states that he is instead "easy like sunday morning"—something that richie described as evocative of "small southern towns that die at 11:30pm" on a saturday night, such as his own tuskegee, alabama. the song is noted for its feedback noise, heard in the bridge section, as well as an electric guitar solo. the song goes up half a step from a-flat to a which repeats the refrain as the song fades out.
easy (commodores song)
we're just taking it easy for a while. once we finished our contract with ferret we opted to leave the label. we've been touring non-stop for the past few years and we're all feeling the wear and tear of constant life on the road. we started this band as a means of escape from everyday life...this is a return to that frame of mind. easy like sunday morning. it's pretty refreshing to just sit back and write songs without pressure from all sides telling you that there has to be a new record on day x. before we release another full-length we're going to take our time to make sure that it's as wickedly radical and gnarly as it can possibly be. so, yeah...that's the gist of it. you won't be seeing us playing a whole lot of shows in the coming months - and we definitely won't be playing extended tours - but we're still alive and kickin'."
