Lou Reed - September song

 Lewis Allan Reed (March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013) was an American musician, singer, songwriter, and poet. He was the guitarist, singer, and principal songwriter for the rock band the Velvet Underground and had a solo career that spanned five decades. The Velvet Underground was not a commercial success during its existence, but became regarded as one of the most influential bands in the history of underground and alternative rock music. Reed's distinctive deadpan voice, poetic, and transgressive lyrics, and experimental guitar playing were trademarks throughout his long career.

Lou Reed's version of September Song appeared on the album 'Lost in the Stars: The Music of Kurt Weill' (1985) September Song has been performed by many singers. Originally it's part of the musical Knickerbocker Holiday written by Kurt Weill (music) and Maxwell Anderson (book and lyrics) in 1938; based loosely on Washington Irving's Father Knickerbocker's Stories about life in 17th-century New Netherland (old New York).

November And these few golden days, I'd like to spend them with you These golden days I'd like to spend them with you And the days dwindle down to a precious few September... November And I'm not quite equipped for these waiting games I had a little money, and I've had a little pain And these few golden days, as they grow so few These golden days, I'd like to spend them with you These precious golden days, I'd like to spend them with you September song, September song, September song, September song
