"Wild Horses" is the Sundays taking on a Mick Jagger and Keith Richards song for their 1992 album Blind, and they make it sound like it was always theirs. This one drifts: a hazy, slow-motion reading with guitars that shimmer rather than bite, and a vocal so delicate it seems to hover just above the tune. It's dreamy and bruised, a lullaby for the morning after.
