Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night of the Week)
Frank Sinatra. The title tells you what happens to Saturday if the person who used to share it has gone away. The arrangement is busy enough to sound like a night out, even as Sinatra keeps singing about being unable to have it.

Saturday Gigs
Mott the Hoople. Saturday shows give the band a way to look back over its own story. The swelling chorus makes the memories sound shared with the audience. Try it near the end of this part of the week, when you want the night to feel like something worth remembering.

Sunday Morning
The Velvet Underground. A gentle opening makes Sunday morning sound like a calm place to begin, but the narrator keeps looking over their shoulder. Listen to the bright chiming instrument and hear how little reassurance it offers by the end.

Sunday Morning
No Doubt. Sunday is when the singer sees a change in somebody she thought she knew. The ska rhythm and sharp shifts in Gwen Stefani’s voice make the confrontation feel wide awake. Put it after the Velvet Underground’s same-titled song for a complete change in pace.

Sunday Morning
Maroon 5. Sunday starts with rain, a shared bed, and a good reason to stay inside. The loose keyboard and drums make this one feel like a morning nobody needs to hurry through. Try it at the gentler end of the Sunday stretch.

Sunday Bloody Sunday
U2. The title recalls Bloody Sunday, including the 1972 killings of civil rights marchers in Derry. The march-like drums carry a song that keeps asking how long the violence will go on. Choose it for a Sunday that carries the weight of a public memory.

A Sunday Kind of Love
Etta James. Sunday stands for the kind of love she hopes will last after Saturday night ends. The arrangement leaves her space to stretch that distinction across the whole song. It’s a good Sunday choice if you want the mood to be hopeful and deliberate.

Sunday Morning Coming Down
Johnny Cash singing Kris Kristofferson’s song. Sunday arrives through the smell of somebody cooking, people out with children, and the sound of a bell. Pick it for a day that seems to give everyone else something to do while the singer decides where to go.

Lazy Sunday
Small Faces. A day off is what the singer wants, but the neighbors keep interfering. The exaggerated voices and playful changes make the bother part of the fun. It’s Sunday as a comic argument over who gets to be left in peace.

Sunday Girl
Blondie. Debbie Harry remembered that she and Chris Stein had a cat named Sunday Man. In the song, the day sounds like a nickname for someone being coaxed to come back. The clipped guitar and smooth chorus give the idea a briskness you might want after the sleepier Sunday tracks.

Sunday Candy
Donnie Trumpet and the Social Experiment. Chance the Rapper uses Sunday churchgoing and his grandmother’s care as the center of a family song. The band gives the refrain a communal lift. Try it as a warm place to end the week.

7 Days
Craig David. The whole week turns on a chance meeting on Monday. From Tuesday drinks to a quiet Sunday, every day moves the story forward. The lightly swinging beat gives him room to fit a week of plans into one chorus.

Lady Madonna
The Beatles. A child learning to tie a shoelace, a missing newspaper, and stockings that need mending mark different days for a mother trying to make ends meet. The piano keeps up an exuberant pace while the calendar makes it possible to hear how many little things she has to get done.
