Description
Everyday Is Like Sunday was released in 1988 as the second single from Morrissey's debut solo album, Viva Hate. Written by Morrissey and producer Stephen Street, the song has become one of his signature recordings, combining melancholic lyrics with a beautifully understated melody. Inspired by the bleak atmosphere of a deserted British seaside town, the track remains one of the most critically acclaimed songs of Morrissey's solo career.
Reaching the UK Top 10, Everyday Is Like Sunday cemented Morrissey's successful transition from frontman of The Smiths to one of Britain's most distinctive solo artists. This original UK 12-inch single includes exclusive non-album recordings, making it an essential release for collectors.
