Music Monday- Song #33 of 50- Oh, September

I'm in the midst of writing 50 songs in 90 days.  I haven't posted any of them anywhere, like I have in years past.  I have a phase 2 part of my 50/90 thing, which involves editing and making recordings of some of the songs, which is why up to this point, I've been a non-sharer.  I'm still in phase 1~ I'm just noodling around, writing my rough and sometimes ugly songs.

But surprisingly enough, several people at the 50/90 forums have asked what's wrong with me this year?  Why aren't I putting up any MP3s?  So I decided to throw a few up, in their very un-edited form.  Who knows what some of them will eventually morph into... Some will never see the light of day, but some may go on to be huge hits!

Today, for Music Monday, I'm bravely and nakedly putting up a song I wrote earlier today, which is September 1 by the way.  It's called, "Oh, September", and it's more or less my break-up song, written to my bad boyfriend, September.  Please note, my opening line is, "Oh, September- you are lasting just a day too long"- Please don't lose the irony that I wrote the song on day 1 of September.  I hate September.  I'm at my wits end with the heat by the time we get to September here in Dallas.  It's sweltering, and it just seems endless....

I'm using dropbox for the first time-  I hope it works. Link and lyrics are below. Here goes.

Oh, September

Oh September, you are lasting just a day too long
The way you came in and planned on staying it just felt so wrong

From the beginning I knew, from the very first start
I knew it deep down in my heart
That it wouldn't end well
It couldn't end soon enough
Don't fool yourself, this never was love that I felt

You run me over, you wear me out
Kick me when I'm down
I run for cover, I look for shade
On some soft cool ground

From the beginning I knew, from the very first start
I knew it deep down in my heart
That it wouldn't end well
It couldn't end soon enough
Don't fool yourself, this never was love that I felt

Oh Septemeber, this is over
and it ends right here
Say your goonights, I'll say goodbye
Without a single tear

From the beginning I knew, from the very first start
I knew it deep down in my heart
That it wouldn't end well
It couldn't end soon enough
Don't fool yourself, this never was love that I felt
