Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Rainy Day Blues – Remastered 1997” by Sonny Boy Williamson I
This song is about the feeling of being stuck in a funk when cold grey weather lays heavy on your heart. The narrator is struggling to cope with the feeling and trying to remain positive despite the fact everything in life seems to be turning against him. He sings of having the “Rainy Day Blues,” and how during this time his friends are nowhere to be found. He tries to make the best of it, finding anything from a bright corner of the room to a smile on someone’s face to a cold beer to bring him solace. Despite his efforts, however, the blues just remain and he is left wishing they would pass. This song speaks to anyone who has ever been stuck in a dark place and is trying to find a way out.
