One of the coldest songs ever written. Curtis was the boss.

[@atlross7128]

Blue Monday People is a beautiful song to reflect the challenges we all seemingly face everyday...."the system need us, but it's trying to mislead us. They know this little money don't feed us..."

Curtis spent his life trying to tell the people something, and as you can see none listened. It's worst today than yesterday, and no tomorrow promised.

[@alexrinaldi3257]

Fia K. alot of people listened your listening do something people love to be pessimist but dont realise that it takes faith to accomplish things and the fear you have is evil it's hard to explain but you can't do anything becuase you dont believe it's possible that's the problem today, people are overwhelmed by all the terrible things going on they don't tackle any of them they just cower in fear and things just get worse

[@alexrinaldi3257]

it also stems from skewed morals and values in today's America all anyone wants is fame whether for being worthy of it or not it's a goal of many people. the first part of what you said is very true curtis spent his life trying to convey a message to people and you don't see that In many of the musicians you see today they don't make music for the love of the art or to get somthing through to people they just go along with the trends and try to appeal to people on most basic levels I've never been moved by a clever yet empty egotistical statement idk i dont hate that but I hate that very few people write music completely from the soul without being afraid being judged I don't understand how when you look at a mass of unsophisticated ignorant trend following saps that just want to criticise everyone and everything to be loved, that anyone would really fear there judgement anyway they don't matter there just the people history forgets

[@alexrinaldi3257]

but dont listen to me listen to curtis it's all there you listen to the lines but dont hear the whole story read the lyrics

[@clyde4901]

I know the lyrics, I know the music, I know the times it mention, I knew the man. But as you put it don't listen to me, listen to the music.

[@kevinstewart1102]

[@yaboistu9448]

2:55 I always cry during this part

[@sirbrianbarratt-boyes8585]

Some people feel so empty All their problems and hurt of pride You make me so happy sweet baby Love is by my side Waking up now in the morning A little morning sigh Ready not to get it together We know temptation Don't tell the whole story But you and me baby We have taken inventory We Blue Monday people And I know there's a few I don't know your problems Only you know how to solve them When seasons are strong Sometimes your life don't get along But when cupboards are bare Our love we can share Truth is not the whole question Truth is not the whole question What is the answer you hide? (answer you hide) The system need us But it's trying to mislead us They know this money don't feed us Depression ain't just Quite what you promised Won't you mister be honest Acting like a child Sometimes we get wild Right when the loving is strong We don't want to get along Don't have to listen to me One day you may see We Blue Monday people Just trying in a strain (We Blue Monday people) Life breaking our hearts I'm so tired it's a shame (We Blue Monday people) This hustling affair Ain't the way I even care We'll be together in spite Of the crimes of the night Crimes of the night Crimes of the night Need someone to see me through Need someone to comfort me Sometimes you can let me be Just let me be

[@thackenday]
