today on the drive home in the wetness (did it EVER rain today...) i was listening to chris pureka's "song for november" - fitting, i realized, as today is the last day of november.
(not the best audio, but it's the best i could find. additionally, i love chris pureka's songs, but boy does she mumble.)
that got me thinking about other songs named after months. in my itunes i have:
the avett brothers, "january wedding"
dar williams, "february"
simon & garfunkel, "april come she will"
collapsis, "october"
counting crows, "a long december"
your job: to rack your brain (not the internet) for songs with the following months in their titles: march (the song needs to be about the month, not going on a long walk), may (again, as in the month), june, july, august, and september. isn't that funny: i've got the winter covered. are more songs written about the winter? or am i odd?
complete my months-of-the-year-song-list! add a comment! you know you need an excuse to procrastinate at work.
March - "St. Ides of March" (by the White Stripes)
ReplyDeleteMay - "Month of May" (by Arcade Fire)
June - "June on the West Coast" (by Bright Eyes)
July - "July, July" (by the Decemberists)
August - "August and Everything After" (by Counting Crows - they seem to have a thing for songs about months, yes?)
September - "September Song" (by a million people), "Wake Me Up When September Ends" (by Green Day)
PS: You may have inspired a new blog from me. Coming soon...
