Discover the story of the song > Morning Sun – Jesse Colin Young

The song is about a protagonist who is feeling lost, lonely, and disenchanted with life. They ask how one would rate the morning sun after a sleepless night, and wonder if they can see the stars. They hope for something more in life but have lost their appetite for it. The lyrics suggest a sense of aimlessness and lack of direction, as the protagonist reflects on a village drunk who may have watched the sunrise each morning. The song ends with the uncertainty of the morning, but the knowledge that the evening will bring the history of the day.
