Yesterday, I mentioned that the month of September appeared in the title of more songs than any other month. I hadn’t thought about it, and don’t know if that’s really true, but there are quite a few “September” songs.
I do remember a song called “September” by Earth Wind & Fire. That group was popular about the same time as Blood. Sweat & Tears, and I liked both groups. Carole King was another of my favorites around that time and she had a song, “It Might as Well Rain Until September.” I don’t think it was one of her biggest hits, but I do remember it. We went to see Neal Diamond concerts and he always sang “September Morn.” So I guess there is a number of “September” songs…. I’ll have to do some extensive research sometime and come up with songs that mention other months.
Tony Bennet sang “Maybe September’ that became fairly popular and one of Nora Jones’ songs was “September in the Rain.” Some other September Songs are:
“September Song,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” “A Lonely September,” “The 12th of September,” “The September of My Years,” “September Gurls,” “Come September,” “See You in September,” and “September Rain.”
And I just thought of a Johnny Cash/Rosanne Cash song called, “September When It Comes.”
I think there are probably a lot of songs that don’t have September in the title, but mention the month in the lyrics, like “Try to Remember” by The Brothers Four. Anyhow, I guess I have to agree that among other things it’s noted for, September may be the most musical month of all.
