Always get me down. At least that’s the lyric to the song Rainy Days and Mondays. The song was written by Roger Nichols and Paul Williams and recorded by The Carpenters. Although I love the song ( the layered backing vocals still sound amazing even though they were recorded in 1971!), I happen to disagree with the lyric.
Rainy Days
It’s all a matter of perspective. Some look at rain and see dreariness. It makes them feel down and maybe even depressed. But here’s my perspective.
The plants, trees and flowers are loving it! They are drinking it all in and it helps them to grow and prosper. So take a beep breath and remember that maybe April showers do bring May flowers. (Yes, I know it’s still March but humor me.)
And don’t even get me started on the rainbows!
And Mondays
In my opinion, Mondays get a bad rap. It’s not a bad day. In fact, my perspective is that it’s another chance to go for it. A new day. The top of the new work week.
Or you can just say, “Monday , Monday,” but that’s another song for another time.
Always Get Me Down
Please don’t let the rain or a Monday get you down. Stay strong and follow your dream.
