Liner Notes

Sometimes it's hard to find inspiration, then I look out the window. It's grim today...

Lyrics

Is this the saddest day of the week?
I have experience of which I speak
Wetter than yesterday and colder too
Just the sort of thing to make you feel blue

It’s the time of year, it always is
Makes it possible to feel like this
Summer’s far ahead, spring is round the corner
But there’s no hint yet that things are getting any warmer

Is this the saddest month of the year?
You know it could just be it feels sincere
Is this the coldest hour of the day?
Shivering bones make me feel this way

Things will change, change for the better
I’ll write a song, based on your letter
I know we’ll be together soon
Sharing a pleasant afternoon

Is this the saddest?
Is this the saddest?

This is so nice. Just being bummed on an ugly day, that's alright! It's a fine place to be. Great job expressing the feeling!

The melody and chords greatly compliment this blue song. Reminds me of the song Everybody's Talkin at Me. I like it! And I like the parallel structure of the lines "the saddest ____ of the ____". Maybe add "saddest hour of the day", and work out from there to saddest "year of my life " - just a thought.
