ALISON MOYET came in the picture as half of 80s British synth-pop duo Yazoo.
The other half was Vince Clarke who co-founded Depeche Mode, but left after
a couple of years.
Moyet started her solo career 40 years ago. She released multiple LPs
and has now a new one waiting in the pipeline. It’s named KEY and will
come out on October 4.
With the news came 2 tracks, of which
ALL CRIED OUT fits this blue Monday.
Lyrics
You took your time to come back this time
The grass has grown under your feet
In your absence I changed my mind
And someone else is sitting in your seat
I know that I said that there’d be no one else
I know that I said I’d be true
But baby, I burned Cupid’s arrow
And here’s the short and narrow
I’ve nothing left to offer you
I’m all cried out
You took a whole lot of loving for
A handful of nothing
All cried out
It’s hard to give you something when
You’re pushing and shoving me around

Infamous blues pioneer LEAD BELLY (1988-1949)
knew everything about blue(s) Mondays.
ON A MONDAY
Last Monday, I was arrested
On a Tuesday, I was locked up in jail
On a Wednesday, my trial was attested
On a Thursday, nobody wouldn’t go my bail
Almost done, yes I’m all, almost done
Yes I’m all, almost done
And I ain’t gonna bring them yellow women no pail
Take these stripes, stripes from around my shoulder
Take these chains, these chains from around my legs
Lord, these stripes, stripes sure don’t worry me
But these chains, chain’s is bound to kill me dead
Almost done, yes I’m all, almost done
Yes I’m all, almost done
And I ain’t gonna bring them yellow women no pail
On a Saturday, me and my baby went out walking
On a Sunday, she locked me out doors
On a Monday, we were sitting down and talking
On a Tuesday, she had pawned all of my clothes

Back in 1995 Sheffield‘s heroes released their magnum opus with
Different Class featuring two fabulous singles, Common People and
Disco, but also this whimsical pop song MONDAY MORNING.
“There’s nothing to do, so you just stay in bed
Oh, poor thing
Why live in the world when you can live in your head?
Mm, and you can go out late from Monday
Till Saturday turns into Sunday
And now we’re back here at Monday
So you can do it all over again”

Almost Like The Blues by Leonard Cohen
There is no God in heaven
There is no hell below
So says the great professor
Of all there is to know
