What I've got they used to call the blues Nothin' is really wrong Feelin' like I don't belong

Artist- The Carpenters
Song of the day- Rainy Days and Mondays

After trading stressed out sob stories with my dear gay soulmate Paul on my back porch (or what I like to call the only place my phone will work) post the rainstorm tonight, this song came to mind. Not only because of the blues, but also we share many an eclectic passion including but not limited to our love of this and other sad songs by this tragic/weird brother sis duo. And after relistening to the lyrics I have an even greater appreciation for the songwriting, it's not really a feel sorry for me song, but the peculiarity of sadness and how it can spur from life's stresses or also come and go that you have no control over it sometimes, you don't know what is wrong with you and totally pointless things like rain or mondays can make you blue. And usually in any situation not matter the source, you just wanna find someone who loves you. So for all the one's who love you, this one's for you.



Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
Funny but it seems I always wind up here
with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
