Rainy days and Mondays (nothing like Karen)
I love Carpenter and Holub versions. This is nothing like it. The fact I cannot sing does not mean I will not.
===
The Carpenters’ song “Rainy Days and Mondays” delves into themes of loneliness, dissatisfaction, and the yearning for emotional connection. The poignant lyrics depict a narrator who feels overwhelmed by the monotony of life, engaging in self-talk and feeling old. There’s a sense of resignation toward their circumstances, as if they’re caught in a cycle of dreary days and mundane routines.
The song was penned by Paul Williams (lyrics) and Roger Nichols (music), who had previously collaborated on another Carpenters hit, "We’ve Only Just Begun" Karen Carpenter’s soulful voice brings out the melancholy and vulnerability of the lyrics, making it a timeless classic that resonates with many listeners.
Here’s a snippet from the song:
“Talking to myself and feeling old
Sometimes I’d like to quit, nothing ever seems to fit
Hanging around, nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.”
Karen Carpenter’s emotive delivery captures the essence of longing and the weight of those rainy days and Mondays.
