Pop Week: Everyday Struggles

Yesterday was really something! It was traffic all day and I can't understand why. Was it due to the long weekend? The extended vacation from Saturday to Monday? I don't know. I was so dead tired yesterday that I couldn't write my blog.

Well, we all go through struggles in life. Everyday hassles could either wear us down or get back up. Let's hear what the Beatles have to say. Here is a song about a woman, probably a single mom with kids. The woman struggles to earn a living and make ends meet. Perhaps in a way, we could identify with her travails in life.

LADY MADONNA

Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who find the money when you pay the rent
Did you think that money was heaven sent

Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeping like a nun
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlegs
See how they run

Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonders how you manage to feed the rest
Pa pa pa pa...
See how they run

Lady Madonna lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head

Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn't come
Thursday night you stocking needed mending
See how they run

Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
