EVERY TIME THE SUN COMES UP I’M IN TROUBLE – The Vampire's Wife

EVERY TIME THE SUN COMES UP I’M IN TROUBLE I just love Sharon Van Etten’s powerful, emotionally articulate and unbelievably catchy songs, a wonderful songwriter and a beautiful bold voice. We adore Sharon here at The Vampire’s Wife. Love Susie. x

Every Time the Sun Comes Up

Pace mine for you

Hold my horses

Patient

Hey man, tricks can't wait to hear my emotions

Every time the sun comes up I'm in trouble

People say I'm a one-hit wonder

But what happens when I have two?

I washed your dishes

But I shit in your bathroom

Even when the sun comes up, I'm in trouble

You broke your glasses but covered our asses

Take time, silently feel real room hi-fi

When every time the sun comes up, I'm in trouble

Every time the sun comes up, I'm in trouble

Yeah, every time the sun comes up, I'm in trouble

Imagine when every time the sun comes up, I see double

Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm

Maybe something will change

Sorry, my headphones fell off

Written by Sharon Van Etten

THE CARNIVAL IS OVER

I have just a simple song for you all from 1967, all the way from Australia (where my husband is), by The Seekers. I love this song, melancholy but so stirring, and Judith Durham, dressed in what looks like something from the archives of The Vampire’s Wife, is so touching. It is a song full of tears about the end of things and love’s enduring presence. We adore this song here at The Vampire’s Wife.

TIME AFTER TIME, LITTLE JIMMY SCOTT

Look at this heart-breaking piece of film of Little Jimmy Scott singing Time After Time and giving his thoughts on what a song is meant to be. He is a vast talent and a beautiful man; we met him at my husband’s Meltdown Festival in London in 1999.

TO DIE BY YOUR SIDE

I heard this wonderful version of The Smiths classic song "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" by the brilliantly ebullient Dum Dum Girls on the DJ Lonny’s amazing Cover to Cover on Radio Lewes this week. What a great show! What a superb song! What a joyful cover! ‘To die by your side is pleasure and a privilege’ indeed!
