One of my favorite songs from the 1960s was the Mamas and the Papas "Monday, Monday". I was a huge fan of pretty much everything they did because I was a bit of a music nerd and their harmonies thrilled me. They were up there with the 5th Dimension and the Beach Boys in that department and I loved singing along with all the various parts. But there was something special about that particular song because it had a wistful quality about it that just perfectly captured the "Monday" blues.
Monday, Monday, can't trust that day...
Of course, it's a song about lost love and someone leaving and all that but there is a lovely sadness to the music and it seems to convey the idea that Monday's not any one's favorite day of the week.
This week Monday is marking the beginning of what will be a long week for me. I'm looking forward to next Monday right now - when things will be looking up and I'll be on the road to recovery. Hopefully by then I'll be singing along with the Mamas and the Papas...
Monday, Monday, so good to me...."
