Autumnal Melancholia Greatest Hits

SEPTEMBER

A couple decades ago I put together a cassette compilation of songs under the banner “September”. A collection of songs driven by something like mid-life-questioning, wrapped in the colors of autumnal songs, it’s melancholy tone and introspective lyrics segued themes of passing time, disillusionment, frustration, confusion, regret, sadness, and loss.

Over the years I added and removed songs in pursuit of a perfected image of that elusive mood. In 2011 I chose to bring to completion this ongoing project. 

Below is the cover art and song titles - Autumnal Melancholia Greatest Hits. 

“There’s a bit of magic in everything / and then some loss to even things out.” – Lou Reed
