SEPTEMBER (or, LATE OCTOBER)
In the 1990s I put together a mix-compilation of songs — under the banner of “September” — on something called a cassette tape (and shared it with my friends).
It was a collection of songs driven by mid-life-questioning, wrapped in the colors of autumnal songs — its sad 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 indigo. In 2011, I brought that project to completion in a 2 CD set.
I managed to find 36 out of 40 songs on YouTube & created a playlist.
