1.) Melodic Straight Edge band from Vancouver BC Canada
2.) Minimalist electro/noise project from Slovakia formed in 2001
3.) A band of veteran musicians from Central NY (who sometimes open for THE RODS) - see http://www.bluemondayband.com
4.) BLUE MONDAY BLUESBAND http://www.bluemonday.info/Biography.html
With the intention of doing a one-time gig with a bluesband at a local jam session Blue Monday was formed.
The audience, as well as the bluesband members themselves were enthusiastic. So, we decided to continue this bluesband; and we did. After a few months of rehearsal on songs by Guy Forsyth, Tommy Castro, ZZ TOP, Mark Ford and many other bluesbands, Blue Monday managed to come up with a varied program.
In the past couple of years, Blue Monday has done several gigs in the Dutch blues-scene like, Nixx Bluesclub Enschede, Down Town Gemert, the opening act for Barrelhouse in "de Pul" in Uden, Bluestour in Cuijk, "Drijf in" Bluesfestival in Giethoorn, BLAST Blues in Asten, and many, many more......
In 2004 some of the Blue Monday musicians did a "minitour" with the "modern day Blues Queen" Miss Dede Priest from Austin Texas
The most important thing for the Blue Monday bluesband is to have a lot of fun "Playing the Blues" while entertaining the audience with an evening of "Rocking Rhythm & Blues"!!!

The Rain
Blue Monday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Blue Monday's song "The Rain" illustrate the feeling of hopelessness and being stuck in a cycle of the mundane. The singer is tired of living a monotonous life where nothing ever changes, and the rain serves as a metaphor for the constant stream of negative emotions that weigh him down. The repetition of the phrase "over and over and over again" emphasizes the feeling of being trapped in this cycle.
The line "what is the fucking point?" represents a moment of existential crisis and questioning the purpose of living such a life. The fear of being "washed away" by the rain suggests a feeling of powerlessness and being swept away by negativity. The singer is desperate to break free from this cycle and live a life full of meaning and purpose.
The final line, "If this is the last day that I ever breathe, I don't want to regret the things I could have done," highlights the importance of living a life without regret and taking action towards achieving one's goals and dreams. The song overall serves as a reminder to break out of negative patterns and pursue a fulfilling life.
Line by Line Meaning
Today, I don't want it to be the same as yesterday.
I desire a change from the monotony of yesterday's routine.
But, over and over and over again, nothing ever changes, what is the fucking point?
Despite repeated attempts, nothing seems to change and I feel hopeless and frustrated.
The rain never stops falling on this city, and I don't want to be washed away.
The rain is a metaphor for life's struggles that keep pouring down on me, and I fear losing myself in the process.
I can't live my life this way.
I cannot continue living in this state of despair and helplessness.
If this is the last day that I ever breathe.
If today were to be my last day alive.
I don't want to regret the things I could have done
I do not want to have any regrets about missed opportunities in my life, wishing I had done things differently.
