Carson suffers from a serious case of melophilia. Geeking out on her favorite music artists is her guilty pleasure.

Who doesn’t love September? It marks the beginning of fall, my favorite season. The transition to cooler weather paired with falling leaves always make for a romantic setting. Not to mention, September reminds us that the holidays is fast approaching. In my case, that means it’s time to save up so I can buy presents for all my nieces and nephews. That’s pretty hard to do considering that it’s a busy month in our household, with several family members taking pride for being September babies.

But you’re not here about that, aren’t you? Let’s now get to the point. I initially got interested about September songs when I played “Wake Me Up When September Ends” by Green Day back in high school. I wasn’t into music back then as I am now, but that song somehow piqued my interest. The way it was written made me think how powerful songs can be as a story-telling medium. And from there, it just felt natural to look for even more songs about September to uncover the stories behind each of them.

Perhaps September is just another month for you. Or maybe you just want to search for songs about September to win some game against your friends. In any case, here are the songs I’ve listened to, and I’d be more than happy if you could add more to the list.

I hadn't realised that there were so many songs about September. It's a transition month, marking the end of summer. Schools go back for the start of a new academic year in the UK. This is an even bigger deal than usual in England this year as many children have been home educated since March.
