See The Sun

Dido · Life For Rent



I'm comin' 'round to open the blinds
You can't hide here any longer
My God you need to rinse those puffy eyes
You can't last here any longer

And yes they'll ask you where you've been
And you'll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Come on take my hand
We're going for a walk, I know you can
You can wear anything as long as it's not black
Please don't mourn forever
She's not coming back

And yes they'll ask you where you've been
And you'll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Do you remember telling me you found the sweetest thing of all
You said one day this was worth dying for
So be thankful you knew her at all
But it's no more

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
I promise you you'll see the sun again

See the sun again
See the sun again
See the sun again
See the sun again

See the sun again
See the sun again
See the sun again
See the sun again

See The Sun

Released on Dido's 2003 album Life For Rent, 'See The Sun' stands as a defining track of the Britpop era, blending indie pop sensibilities with a distinct, atmospheric production style. The song features a haunting vocal performance that anchors a melodic structure characteristic of the early 2000s British music scene. While the track was not the lead single from the album, it exemplifies Dido's ability to craft emotive, radio-friendly pop songs that resonated deeply with audiences during that period. Its inclusion on Life For Rent highlights her continued evolution as a songwriter who balanced commercial appeal with a unique, slightly melancholic tone. The recording remains a staple of her discography, often cited alongside other hits like 'Thank You' and 'White Flag' as key examples of her work during this specific phase of her career.
