Cinematic Universes: The five movies Sunday (1994) want their music to live in

Posted On June 3, 2025June 3, 2025

Go onto Sunday (1994)’s social media and you’ll find almost as many film clips as there are clips of the band. To them, that feels right. Singer Paige Turner can’t help but edit her music to scenes from her favourite films, bringing to life the cinematic crossovers she hears in the songs from the moment they start to take shape.

In the world of the band, film really came first. Their band name, with Turner’s birth day laid out like that, is a cinematic nod to the way movie titles are referenced. When she and Lee Newell began writing for this project, it was their favourite movies that informed it, both wanting to create music that felt richly storytelling and atmospheric, that both sounded like a soundtrack while holding enough emotion for a feature film.

But that’s exactly why Far Out holds our film section as dear as the music section and why they sit side by side; the two are inseparable. What are films without music? What would music be without the inspirational power that film has forever had on it, with artists across each decade since the absolute invention of the moving picture finding ways to bring film’s stories and style into song?

Sunday (1994) are merely the newest to honour that in an all-encompassing way, with Turner’s homemade movie clip mini music videos to their songs being the most outright. But as we caught up with the band to discuss their work, starting with cinema felt like the right beginning, as it’s where they began, too. So the question posed to them was simple: If your music could exist in the cinematic world of any movie, which ones would it live within?
