How many September songs are there? Spinditty says there are more than 60 songs about September. The list is HERE.
My attention is attracted to Frank Sinatra's album September of My Years, made for his 50th birthday in December 1965. Sinatra recorded "It Was a Very Good Year" for the album live on a Walter Cronkite CBS News Special on Frank Sinatra in the spring - it was broadcast closer to his birthday - in November. A year of celebration of Frank Sinatra is how I think of that album, and it was rereleased in 1986.
Considering all the many September songs there are, I want to give a name to this subject category. And what came to my mind was "Septemberism" - where great reminiscing and nostalgia are the main themes.
This name was taken - but long ago. I find out that this was the name of a Portuguese political movement in the 1830s and the name of the insurgents in a Bulgaria uprising in 1923. There are lots of September uprisings in history. Unlike songs with September where there are lots of lists, there really aren't any lists of uprisings by month. So who is to know if September of the most popular uprising month. It might be Spring.
While Frank Sinatra's songs were reminiscent and nostalgic, our own experience of September this is is one of apprehension because of the fourth wave of COVID. In amongst the many September jokes, I found these two COVID jokes:
I just got off the phone with a researcher in China. He says it's not worth getting the Covid-19 now, as they are expecting the Covid-20 PRO to be released in September.
Please, don't get Covid-19 They are releasing Covid-20 in September and it's much better.
Little did we think there would be a yearly release - and Covid-21 is available anywhere near the unvaccinated now.
September 20th is a Full Harvest Moon this year - names for September's full moon are:
