Rainy Days And Mondays by Carpenters is a melancholic pop song that captures the pervasive feeling of sadness and loneliness that often accompanies rainy days and the start of the workweek. The song expresses a sense of weariness and emotional burden, as the singer laments how these days consistently bring her down. Key themes include feelings of emptiness, chronic sadness, and seeking solace in a partner's company. Particularly poignant moments include the line 'What I've got they used to call the blues,' which succinctly encapsulates the singer's emotional state, and 'Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you,' highlighting the comforting presence of a significant other during tough times.
