Song Meaning of “Stormy Monday” by Stoned Jesus
Stormy Monday tells a tale of a sinner coming to terms with their troubled past. It paints a picture of a broken soul straying further from redemption, unable to cope with the traumatic events of their past. The title references the sorrowful mood of the sorrowful blues while hinting at the inevitability of bad times. The protagonist is drowning in their own mind, memories of a darker past creeping in on colder days, struggling to feel any measure of control while being followed by their own raincloud, and trapped in an ever repeating cycle of depression. In time, they find some solace in their newfound acceptance, understanding that these stormy Monday blues will keep coming but that the only way to truly make peace with them is to learn to accept their intensity and ride it out until the storm passes.
