Sunday (1994) Drops New Live Video for “Tired Boy”
Los Angeles-based pop trio Sunday (1994), consisting of Paige Turner (vocals), Lee Newell (guitar) and Puma (drums), has dropped a new live video for “Tired Boy” directed by Plastic Fruit.
The video was filmed at The Camden Assembly, London on September 30, 2024.
The song is their debut song and is featured their self-titled EP, which was released back in May (deluxe edition was released in September) via Artista and RCA (Sony Music).
The track is inspired by '90s romance films. It was written by Paige Turner, and Lee Newell who also produced the track.
Before the release of the song, the band posted the track to TikTok, where the song went viral.
The band said, “We uploaded a few songs to Tik-Tok to finally see if we were criminally insane or if indeed these songs could mean something to someone. Instantly we had thousands of views and people begging us to release them. We picked our jaws up off the floor and got to work.”
Paige Turner added lyrically it's about “being in love and ultimately jealous with someone so careless and clumsy, yet somehow everything always falls in to place for them.”- Lee Newell told Rolling Stone about the song, “I would constantly, start things and song ideas and I would show them to Paige, but it was never quite right. One time we just stopped trying. We were bored, and Paige asked me to teach her to play guitar. The first chords that she threw together was 'Tired Boy', which became our first single. From there, we were like, 'Fuck, this is it! This has to be it.' And here we are. It just happened so quickly.”
- The debut EP comprises a 5-track (deluxe edition 9 songs), produced by Lee Newell.
Four songs of the deluxe edition were written after the original release, as the band signed with the label halfway through the process of the EP. Also, the band needed more songs for the tour.
Paige Turner said of the deluxe edition, “We knew that we didn't want this era to be over yet. I was going through a lot mentally, so I had a lot to write about in that time. Even though things were going really well in my life, somehow my brain sort of didn't want me to enjoy my life, and so those songs were necessary to write. It's always the way.”
Lee Newell added, “We seem to be in a period where everything we write we like. The Pet Shop Boys call it the 'imperial phase'. I'm not saying we're having an imperial phase but we have found a bit of a purple patch, a bit of chemistry, and we just really enjoy everything we're making. We just wanted to keep going.” - source : Apple Music
