Some "Blue" Songs for a Blue Monday

 

A few decades ago, someone had the bright idea to enshrine the third Monday of January as Blue Monday, the saddest day of the year. As much as folks and maybe even authorities have tried to debunk it, the concept has remained stuck to pop culture like hawk talons on a fish. Ironically, a lot of those credit card and utility bills have poured into my mailbox today.

Well, Monday is bad enough but a Blue Monday calls for some help and perhaps I can humbly provide some "blue" songs that can have you swaying, skipping, grooving or even dancing. Enjoy!

(1993) Miki Imai -- Bluebird

(1980) Seiko Matsuda -- Aoi Sangoshou （青い珊瑚礁）

(1978) Hideki Saijo -- Blue Sky Blue（ブルースカイブルー）

(1983) Tatsuro Yamashita -- Blue Midnight

And of course...I gotta get you guys onto the dance floor!
