"Sunny Came Home" is a folk-rock song by American musician Shawn Colvin. It is the theme song to her 1996 concept album ''A Few Small Repairs'', and it was released as a CD single on June 24, 1997. "Sunny Came Home" was a commercial success, reaching number seven on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. The song was also a critical smash, winning both Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Song of the Year and was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. ==About the single== The song tells the story of a woman named Sunny who burns down her house to escape her past.〔"Bio." ''(Shawn Colvin )''. Accessed April 17, 2010.〕 It is one of several "story songs" on ''A Few Small Repairs'', a method of songwriting Colvin began experimenting with while writing for the album. The title of the song comes from the opening lyrics. The song's bright, calm and warming music, fronted by a distinctive mandolin strum, contrasts very sharply with the destructive lyrics, particularly the haunting bridge: "Get the kids and bring a sweater; dry is good, and wind is better. Count the years; you always knew it / Strike a match; go on and do it".〔Colvin, Shawn, and Leventhal, John. Lyrics. "(Sunny Came Home )". ''A Few Small Repairs''. CD. Columbia. 1996.〕 The title of the album, ''A Few Small Repairs'', also appears in the third line of the second verse of the song, "'It's time for a few small repairs,' she said." At the end of the song, the lighting of a match can briefly be heard, followed by a quick breath to presumably put the flame out as the house burns down. The version that played on most radio stations was edited, as was the music video version, removing approximately 30 seconds of instrumental music, mostly at the end of the song. Shawn Colvin confirmed the song is a murder ballad at her Perth, Western Australia concert on 3 April 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sunny Came Home」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
