The leaves of brown
Came tumbling down, remember
In September in the rain.
The sun went out
Just like a dying ember
In September in the rain.
To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain.
Though spring is here
To me it's still September
That September in the rain.
Rich Coffey: Arrangement, Trombone, Vocals
What a simple yet very tender and beautiful song! It was penned for the 1935 film, Stars Over Broadway and has been recorded by numerous artists. Although its now a jazz standard - a little known fact is that it was even covered by the Beatles for their Decca audition...
My modern arrangement features my signature D-50 jazz guitar patch and a trombone solo.
