If lyrics could tell

Rainy Days and Mondays by the Carpenters.
Produced by Jack Daugherty.
Written by Payl Williams, Roger Nichols.
Published by Almo Music Corp. (ASCAP)


Talking 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


***

Then I decided the lyrics were too depressing, so I found this other one in hope to remind myself that tomorrow may be brighter, and I dedicate this to my blog friends and my "husband":

Only Yesterday
Produced by Richard Carpenter
Written by Richard Carpenter, John Bettis,
Published by Almo Music Corp./ Hammer and Nails Music (ASCAP)

Only yesterday I was sad and I was lonely
You show me the way to leave the past
And all the tears behind me
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away only yesterday

i like carpenters too, and all melancholic tunes, but i avoid them like the plague now, because it pulls me in like a blackhole.
i used to be able (i think i still can) play on the piano and everybody around me would keep really quiet, and sad, because i made everyone sad with my playing.(heh. i hope it was not because of my bad playing.) but ya, just to say, i try not to get near them now, though they do really communicate how i feel. drastically too close to home i suppose!

yup, lyrics could tell... i agree with mistipurple about not avoiding them like plague if you're feeling very down.

opps, avoiding them like plague, not "not avoiding" i mean.
