Monday Blues

Welcome to Monday Blues!

In this series, I am featuring anything blues - whether by album title, song title, or simply music in the genre.

In this launch post, on the other hand, Duran Duran is paving the way with "New Moon on Monday."

Kick off the week and the Monday Blues series with a new moon.


"New Moon on Monday" Background -

10th single 

Released in January 1984 in the UK

From Duran Duran's third album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983)

No. 9 on UK Singles Chart

No. 10 on Billboard Hot 100

The music video -

Filmed in December 1983 in Noyers, France

Dressed as an underground resistance movement...Organizing a revolt against a modern oppressive militaristic regime

Least favorite video - according to Andy Taylor and Nick Rhodes

Christmas holiday cut short to film the video

Dark and cold set

(Wikipedia)

The music video may not have been so much, but the chart success speaks for itself.
