Rainy Days and Mondays

Today is both. It's actually a little chilly. It's a bit dreary. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous by week's end for the Saint Louis Art Fair. I am very excited to see that this artist is returning.

It's Labor Day, and I'm feeling like a total slacker. I've been reading New York fashion/lifestyle magazines and re-visiting some old graphic design magazines looking for inspiration. After eating yummy good food from Greek Fest, I'm just feeling very mellow. Wishing I had a mystery to read. Or a fireplace. Or some hot chocolate.

As for Rainy Days...while looking around for the lyrics, I came across this little tid bit:

Tuesday, October 28, 7:30 p.m.

Grammy® award-winners Melissa Manchester and Paul Williams - two of a generation's most prolific singer/songwriters - come together for this very special evening of their Songs and Stories. Hear the stories behind the classics you love as two great artists collaborate to perform their timeless songs.

I really want to go! This guy wrote songs for Barbra Streisand, Karen Carpenter and Kermit the Frog!

Words and Music by:
Paul Williams & Roger Nichols

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.
