There was a real sense of ease and freedom and no rules. We’re not going to worry about the radio. John and I were like, what the hell, we’re just going to make a record we like and turn it in.
There were a couple things on those previous records where I made concessions in the production and stuff like that. We didn’t think we were not pop or worthy, but in the previous three records there’d been attempts by the record company to put out singles and cross our fingers and hope they went somewhere, and they didn’t. And Colvin will be touring in 2022 to mark the 30th anniversary of her debut album Steady On. When we made that record, we’d kind of written off the idea of having radio-friendly songs. You may know Colvin from some of her hit songs such as Sunny Came Home. In the 11th hour, “Sunny Came Home” was really barely there-in fact I think I had it as ‘Jimmy Came Home’ at one point before I’d written the lyric to “The Facts about Jimmy” I looked at this cover and I thought, you need to write a story about this woman on the cover who’s got a lit match and a big fire in the background.

I’m not sure if my interpretation is completely right, but I think it tells a good story.The inspiration behind that story came from the painting that I chose to be on the cover of the record. The song is ironic because it sounds soft and happy, and the name Sunny is looked at has sunlight and happy. Advanced: eBay Deals Find a Store Help Sell.

I think it is her house because it later says "the world is burning down". The next verse is like Sunny reflecting on everything that brought her this far and her anger makes her light a match which I'm guessing she burns her house down with. These are the people who make up Sunny's vengeance. Sunny came home,by shawn colvin,is an excellent song.It won best song of the year in 1998 at the grammys.It came out in 1997.The simple meaning of the song is this:It is simply about the end of the Civil War in 1865 in the U.S.Sunny is someone from the south.The lady,or girl,simply comes home.I would say that the area is most likely,Atlanta. The people on the list are the ones who pissed her off and she wants to remove ("repair") them from her list. Sunny's list of names is a list of people she plans on punishing.
Her tolerance had run out and she came home to punish people who had made her life terrible. The chorus is talking about how she is so sick of her daily life. I used to find it pretty, but now as an adult I find it. I forgot about this song I remember this song from the last 90s, when I was a kid. She came home to build weapons like bombs. I haven’t heard this song in YEARS, and I was on TikTok and someone had it on their video, and I literally almost fell in a trance as memories came flooding back. I think the point of the song is about Sunny leaving to get revenge.
