| dbo:abstract | "Paper Sun" is a song by British rock band Traffic, and was released as their debut single in May 1967. It was a number 5 hit in the United Kingdom, number 4 in Canada, and peaked at number 70 on the Cash Box Top 100 chart in the United States. The song is famous for its time-typical sitar riff, played by Dave Mason, and its vocals by composer Steve Winwood. It was also released in an edited version on the U.S. version of the band's debut album, Mr. Fantasy (briefly titled Heaven Is in Your Mind). The black-and-white music video was shot at the Royal Museum for Central Africa (AfricaMuseum) in Tervuren, Belgium. The single's B-side, "Giving to You", features an opening vocal section with lyrics sung by Winwood. The original B-side version was later released as a bonus track on a CD reissue of Mr. Fantasy. The song was later issued in a modified version (4:20) on Mr. Fantasy. The album version begins and ends with overdubbed spoken parts (probably by Chris Wood). The song appeared on the soundtrack of the 2010 British film Made in Dagenham. (en) "Paper Sun" è il primo singolo del gruppo rock britannico dei Traffic, uscito nel maggio del 1967 Famoso per il suo riff di sitar, suonato da Dave Mason, e la voce emozionante del compositore Steve Winwood, nella classifica del Regno Unito perviene al quinto posto. Il lato B, Giving to You, viene successivamente incluso in una versione modificata (4:20) nel loro album Mr. Fantasy. Quella originale del lato B, che si apre con una breve introduzione vocale, uscirà poi come brano in più nella riedizione dell'album. La versione dell'album omette questa sezione vocale, iniziando e terminando con parti parlate sovraincise (probabilmente di Chris Wood). Il singolo farà parte della colonna sonora del film inglese Made in Dagenham uscito nel 2010. (it) Paper Sun är en psykedelisk rocklåt, skriven av Jim Capaldi och Steve Winwood.

I låten har musikinstrumentet sitar, spelad av Dave Mason, en framträdande plats. Paper Sun blev en stor hit i hemlandet Storbritannien och i Kanada. I USA stannade den på plats 94 på Billboardlistan. Den blev även en mindre singelhit i Oceanien och några europeiska länder.
