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.

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,Lin Date: 23 Aug 21 - 04:34 PM To GeoffLawes, I just wanted to thank you very much for all your work in listing alphabetically the September songs and all your other informative posts!! 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. The Brothers Four ~ Try to Remember https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1FdV9QgYME Link to Steve Shaw’s earlier post on TRY TO REMEMBER |
