Top 15 'Sun' Songs

Some tunes just exude warmth; their harmonies and silky musicianship transforming you from the grey smudge of winter - or your mind - to a sprawling sandy beach or pool-side lounge chair, cool drink to hand, the rays roasting your skin.
Here’s are the 15 best tracks with the word ‘sun’ – or a variant such as ‘sunrise’, ‘sunshine’ or ‘sunset' – in the title. (I've excluded ‘Sunday’, that’s for the upcoming ‘Weekday’ list.)
Some use the scorching star to atmospheric effect, some use it as a metaphor for love, while some are just good songs.
Honorable mentions are many, including: The Beach Boys’ "Warmth of the Sun"; Fleet Foxes’ "Sun it Rises"; Brian Cadd’s "A Little Ray of Sunshine"; Sex Pistols’ "Holidays in the Sun"; Soundgarden’s "Black Hole Sun"; Chemical Brothers’ "Setting Sun"; Violent Femmes’ "Blister in the Sun"; and The Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition".
And Katrina and the Waves’ "Walking on Sunshine", I guess.
