Subject: Any September Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 03 Mar 21 - 05:56 PM
-Joe Offer- Can you suggest any songs associated with the month of September ie: (A) Any songs with September in the title (B) Any songs with a September date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referencing an event that is known to have occurred in September even if the lyrics do not actually say so. It would be very helpful to have links to performances of the songs and also more sources of information about them. This is an edited PermaThread moderated by Geoff Lawes. Below is an alphabetical index of the titles collected in this thread so far. If a title in this index is clicked then you should be jumped to the section of the thread in which most of the discussion and links for that title occurs. If you just want to add a new post to this thread use the “Post to this thread” or POST buttons to jump to the end of the thread. I shall sometimes rearrange “ late” posts to group them with the appropriate main area of discussion so that they are not overlooked. When I add to someone’s post I make this clear by doing so beneath an orange line like the one below.- Regards, GeoffLawes

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 18 Aug 21 - 04:30 AM 16th September, 2003 Death of Baha Mousa in Basra ORDINARY ENGLISH LADS 1.When Baha Mousa was twenty six, The life from him was torn, He was beaten and kicked in a Basra jail, By young men in uniform. ChorusAnd those who’ve known the soldiers well, Such as neighbours, mums and dads, Would say that at home in England, They were ordinary English lads. 2.As the sun rose over the small hotel, Where Baha’s living was made, A squad of a Lancashire Regiment came, On an early morning raid. Chorus 3.The place was searched, some guns were found, And the staff was all detained, To be taken away, in handcuffs, For the guns to be explained. Chorus 4.So Baha came to an army post, And was placed in a holding cell, He was hooded and stressed, and deprived of sleep, He was beaten and kicked as well. Chorus 5.His food and water, sleep and rest, Were all kept in short supply, While screams of abuse and death threats, Were used freely to terrify. Chorus 6.They broke his nose and they cracked his ribs, They smashed him against the wall, When his heart gave out, Baha’s injuries, Numbered ninety three in all. Chorus 7.A corporal got one year in jail, But true justice was denied, For ranks closed around the guilty, And most witnesses simply lied.

It is greatly appreciated! You are so kind! From Lin (the September birthday girl) Starting September 01, I am going to listen to a few Sept. songs each day leading up to my birthday on the 22nd. Kind of like to do this as I spend the birthday alone and now will have all these wonderful September songs to listen to, to keep me company. Thanks to everyone so far who have added songs and information to the September song list. |

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 23 Aug 21 - 05:19 PM Happy Birthday Lin. Some of the songs I have posted are a bit sombre for a birthday collection but I hope the collection is interesting. |

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,Lin Date: 25 Aug 21 - 01:37 AM Hi Geoff, I've always been drawn to the sombre songs or songs with primarily minor chords. I know that is strange perhaps. I remember when I was a little kid really liking the song "Patches" which was a very sombre song. Then really loving the song, "Catch the Wind" by Donovan when I was about 12 or so. Of course there are plenty of songs I like that are not sombre at all and have major chords but there is just something about those minor chords in songs that I like the most. Anyone remember that dark lyric song, "Patches?" From the early 1960's I believe? Oh yeah, "Puff the Magic Dragon";used to make me cry too when I was a kid - but still loved the song. I wanted to find that cove and be the dragon's friend when Jackie Paper came no more. Well...I was just a little kid and felt so sad for the dragon. |

The apples were ripe and ready to fall, Hee-haw, ready to fall, There came an old woman to gather them all, Hee-haw, gather them all. Oliver rose and he gave her a drop, Hee-haw, gave her a drop, Which made the old woman go hippety hop, Hee-haw, hippety hop.

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 04 Sep 21 - 12:45 AM September Song (linked here to the Brothers Four) is also TRY TO REMEMBER . There's a brief note in the list, but in fact it is a major song in The Fantasticks, which ran off-Broadway forever but was probably finally killed off by COVID-19. Jerry Orbach sings "Try to Remember" in the off-Broadway version. From Wikipedia: Try to Remember is a song from the musical comedy The Fantasticks. It is the first song sung in the show, to get the audience to imagine what the sparse set suggests. Its lyrics, written by Tom Jones, famously rhyme "remember" with "September", "so tender", and "December." Harvey Schmidt composed the music. I remember the Man Who Fell To Earth use, though I only saw that movie once about 40 years ago. Something to look up for this list.

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 21 Sep 21 - 07:03 PM Mysha, thanks for suggesting RUN, COME SEE JERUSALEM In the Mudcat thread to which you gave a link ‘Origins: History of 'Run, Come See Jerusalem' Azizi told us, "Written by Blake Higgs (he recorded it in 1951), a Bahamian calypso singer who was well known for entertaining tourists in Nassau, this song has been covered by many American folk singers including The Weavers. It's about a devastating hurricane in the Bahamas in 1929 that caught people unaware and destroyed many ships. Alan Lomax documented another song also about the same store, called A Great Storm Pass Over, written by a Bahamian sponge fisherman called Tappy Joe; it was recorded in 1935." And Charlie Baum told us that it was “the 1929 Category 3 to 4 hurricane that swept over the Bahamas in late September.”

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 26 Sep 21 - 02:48 PM Well, we are getting towards the end of the month, so, if I may, I'll give you one that I co-wrote with friend April Caesar in a song-writing group a few years back, Misty September: it was inspired for me by driving down to our usual meeting place on a morning when it was very misty: we are quite high up in this part of Edinburgh, and often look down on a blanket of "haar" over the Firth of Forth, but on this occasions it was misty even at our level. April had a friend who emigrated to Australia, so there is reference to the longing to be back in Scotland in the lyrics. And, no, it doesn't all rhyme, and where it does, it follows different patterns, but that's just how it evolved! I also describe it as being a love song for Scotland. If anyone wants the tune, I can send it as a pdf, or there is rather over-spotlighted YouTube of us singing it at Edinburgh Folk Club's annual song-writing competition: we didn't win anything! April is not seen in the video as she was not able to get down on stage, but she was singing from the gallery! Misty September MISTY SEPTEMBER Trish Santer/April Caesar 14/11/14 Verse 1: One day as I went walking, down the mountainside, When I saw my sweetheart, coming o’er the brae, I asked “Where are you going?”, and then he said to me, “Let’s see where this road takes us, this September day”. Chorus 1: Sunrise o’er the mountains, swiftly coursing streams, Shifting light on vibrant colours ever change the scene, Can’t bear to leave my homeland, where my heart has always been, Scotland, I’ll be true to you, Scotland, in my dreams. Verse 2 : Soon the mist came rolling, down that mountainside, Bubbled like a cauldron, chilled us to the bone, But we climbed up higher, till we saw clear skies, Marvelled at the splendour of the land that is our home. Chorus 2: Sunset o’er the mountains, swiftly coursing streams, Shifting light on vibrant colours ever change the scene, Can’t bear to leave my homeland, where my heart has always been, Scotland, I’ll be true to you, Scotland, in my dreams. Instrumental: Chorus 3: Dusk falls o’er the mountains, sparkling Milky Way, Landscape silhouetted gauntly, since the close of day, Stillness now surrounds me, more than I can say, Scotland, I’m at home with you, Scotland, here I’ll stay, Scotland, I’m at peace with you, Scotland, here I’ll stay. |

THE BATTLE OF PRESTONPANS Roy Williamson The chevalier, being void of fear, Did march up Birsley Brae, man, Through Tranent, ere he did stint As fast as he could gae, man. General Cope did taunt and mock Wi’ many a loud hussa, man, But ere next morn proclaimed the dawn We heard anither craw, man. Chorus General Cope led frae behind Tae keep his men in order, When the English ran, he was in the van And first across the Border. The brave Lochiel, as I heard tell Led Camerons on in clouds man, The morning fair, and clear the air They loosed with devilish thuds man. Down guns they threw, and swords they drew And soon did chase them off, man, On Seaton Crafts, they buffed their chafts And gart them run like daft, man. Chorus Now Caddell dressed among the rest Wi’ gun and guid claymore, man, On gelding gray, he rade the day Wi’ pistols set before, man. The cause was good, he’d spend his blood Before that he would yield, man, But the night before, he left the corps, And never faced the field, man. Chorus Now Simpson keen tae clear his een O’ rebels far in wrong, man Did never strive wi’ pistols five But he galloped wi’ the throng, man, Ower Sutra Hill, e’er he stood still Before he tasted meat, man, Monteith may brag, o’ his swift nag That bore him aff sae fleet, man. Chorus The bluff dragoons swore blood and oons They’d mak the rebels run, man, Yet they flee, when them they see And they winnae fire a gun, man, They turned their back, their foot they brak, Terror seized them a’, man, Some wet their cheeks, some filled their breeks And some for fear did fa’, man.

Geoff, could you move An Chéad Mháirt den Fómhair to the September thread. The first Tuesday of autumn would fall between 21 and 27 Sept. In 1811 the date would have been 24 Sept., if I'm not mistaken.

According to the sleeve notes; the words are from a broadside in the Harkness Collection at the Harris Museum and Library in Preston; and the tune is collated from various traditional sources, with contributions from Nic Jones. This recording was later included in the Fellside anthology LP and CD Flash Company and on Nic Jones' 2 CD anthology Unearthed where he noted: Possibly to the consternation of some, I often deliberately altered or re-wrote words and tunes of traditional songs, although I did try to keep it very much in sympathy with the original. Broadsides, however, offered a good source of ballads without such constraints and gave me the freedom to compose around the text without offence.

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GerryM Date: 21 Sep 22 - 06:37 PM I wonder whether there's some confusion here between Monterey and Monterrey. Both were Mexican, and both were battle sites in 1846 during the war between the United States and Mexico, Monterey on 7 July, Monterrey 21 to 24 September. Monterrey is still Mexican, while Monterey, several hundred miles to the North, is in California, which was ceded to the US by Mexico as a result of the war. Thanks GerryM you may be right but the song title given is spelled “ Monterey “ so possibly it is with the songwriter that the confusion came in ? Battle of Monterrey from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Monterrey |

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 23 Sep 22 - 08:03 AM Battle of Monterey; Early on 7 July 1846, the frigate USS Savannah and the two sloops, USS Cyane and USS Levant of the United States Navy, captured Monterey and raised the flag of the United States. The only shots fired were a 21-gun salute to the new U.S. flag fired by each of the U.S. Navy ships in the harbor. Wikipedia Battle of Monterrey; General Pedro de Ampudia and the Mexican Army of the North was defeated by the Army of Occupation, a force of United States Regulars, Volunteers and Texas Rangers under the command of General Zachary Taylor. The hard-fought urban combat led to heavy casualties on both sides. Wikipedia (General Taylor won the day!) The Maid of Monterey - Published F. D. Benteen, Baltimore, 1851 She cast a look of anguish, On dying and on dead; Her lap she made a pillow For those who groan'd and bled. And when the dying soldier For one bright gleam did pray, He bless'd the Senoretta, The maid of Monterey.

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 23 Sep 22 - 09:34 AM THE FIELD OF MONTEREY The Field of Monterey The song was inspired by the Battle of Monterrey in the Mexican American War, which was one of the most significant battles in the war, but also one of the bloodiest. The words to “The Field of Monterey” can be traced back to the authorship of Marion Dix Sullivan (1802-1860), a poet from New Hampshire. “The Field of Montery” (sic) was written in 1846 and subtitled as being “affectionately dedicated to Mrs. Virginia Q.S. of Virginia.” Edna Bradeen’s version here, which she learned from her mother, is slightly different than Sullivan’s original. Sullivan’s poem was not the only artistic expression to be inspired by the battle. Many poems were written about it. Also written were the songs, “The Storming of Monterey” and “The Maid of Monterey.” The latter seems to have been the most popular of all of the songs to come out of the battle. Most of these songs were written in the same style as the popular sentimental pieces of the day.

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,Diolch Date: 09 Apr 23 - 09:13 AM Geoff has brought up mass trespass songs on the April thread for Kinder but the largest mass trespass in England was Winter Hill in Lancashire on 6 September 1896 (although the people trespassed more than once). Allen Clarke's song WILL YO’ COME O’ SUNDAY MORNING (known in several dialect variants, e.g. mornin') was published on thousands of song sheets for the 10,000+ trespassers and their supporters. I know a version is still sung but haven't yet found a recording online. Clarke was a well-known local writer and publisher of street literature and probably wrote other songs about events in Lancashire. Will yo’ come o’ Sunday morning’ For a walk o’er Winter Hill? Ten thousand went last Sunday But there’s room for thousands still! O the moors are rare and bonny And the heather’s sweet and fine And the roads across the hilltops – Are the people’s – yours and mine!

He told American Songwriter magazine July/August 1987: "The two images together - Geronimo and a Cadillac - just struck me as a song title. It was every irony I could ever think of about our culture in two words. Their attempt to make of him what we would define as a civilized person. That was the reason they put him in a Cadillac in the first place. He was actually in jail at the time." https://www.songfacts.com/facts/michael-martin-murphey/geronimos-cadillac Geronimo's Cadillac GERONIMO by Lorne Greene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpjJO0THGxg GERONIMO by George Jones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bwJvDU_xRw
