Tell Me Why

It’s Monday.

I once sang the song “I Don’t Like Mondays" in front of my biggest audience to date. It was towards the end of a local festival, late, but early, at 1am on a Monday morning. They danced on the tables.

I don’t imagine that was an effect that Bob Geldof ever thought he would achieve when he wrote the lyric which, as you are probably aware, is about a 16 year old girl who had a gun, and went on a killing spree at her school in the US of A.

We take what we want from a song. Whatever we need to get by.

Once it’s out there, it doesn’t belong to the songwriter anymore.
