Echo Movement –Red Sunday
Here’s what David Fowler of Echo Movement said about “Red Sunday” and how it came together…
“Red Sunday” was originally written around 2004 on the Shark River Bay in Belmar, NJ. It was around this time that the last of my religious framework gave way, and I started to fully-embrace free-thought. My brother Steve was a few years ahead of me with reformatting his mind with atheism, so we were on the same page with a song acknowledging nature as the sole divinity (sorry, Jah). So the chorus carries this coming-of-age theme, even though the sun is setting. As for the verses, they’re one-liners about our average day at the time: beach, friends, herbalizing in the car, community college…”
“This song was recorded several times since 2005, and its arrangement was a regular subject to savage beatings by the band. Although it was always a fan favorite, this is really the first time we’ve been able to capture the song’s true grit in the studio.” explains Fowler…“This Leak is the single version of Red Sunday. The album version has a spacey interlude with droning sitars, gummy tablas and other world instrumentation. We chose the shorter cut because it’s a little less of a commitment, but still gives proper representation of Echo’s energy.”
