Sunday might be the South’s most important day of the week. Sayings commonly associated with the region reflect its importance, like “Slower than a Sunday,” which implies an absence of urgency. Longstanding traditions like Sunday drives have gone on to become expressions representing the art of the slow pace.
In 2005, Craig Morgan released a song that perfectly encapsulated the southern culture’s respect for leisure as the weekend comes to a close. His hit single, “That’s What I Love About Sunday,” resonated with country music listeners everywhere. A song celebrating simple joys became a universal reminder that it’s okay to slow down and savor the moment.
