Laura Brannigan - Self Control

August/September 1984

Good song this one, and arguably an equally good cover of it by the Bluetones' Mark Morris also reminds me of August.

Another one.. Space, me and you vs the world, early September 1996 when I started college.  Very pleasant anticyclonic spell around that time I recall

I remember Space. I bought the album Spiders on cassette. 1996 was the high point for that band. Sort of post Britpop era.

The autumn of 96 was quite pleasant; chilly in places, but also some nice warm days.

Gold - Spandau Ballet

Always has that fading summer feeling, cooler evenings creeping in.

A song from that time Fugees ready or not, no 1 in September. Has a melancholic autumnal hue to it.

Two songs by The Doors with direct reference to the summers end

1.Summers almost gone 

2. Indian Summer

'morning found us calmly unaware

Mildew gold ran through our hair

At night we swim the laughing sea

When summers gone

Where will we be' 

[Northwest NI]

Haven’t seen this one listed yet (or maybe I missed it)

Invitations - Shakatak

Zoom - Fat Larry’s Band

I think Forever Autumn by Justin Hayward got an early mention and, along with Boys of Summer by Don Henly, it always captures that sense of things that were around for the summer gradually beginning to disappear.

I remember back in my young twenties when I had a late holiday booked followed by a couple of long weekends, the last of which was to the World Speedway Championship being held in Amsterdam (not treally a Speedway fan, just loved the craic of going away with mates)

All summer long I was looking forward to the holiday followed by the weekend. But the speedway weekend meant it was all over.....nothing but work til Christmas!  We were coming back by coach and got caught up in a monday morning traffic jam in London as the rain was pouring down,  Out through the coach radio came the strains of the Carpenters Rainy Days and Mondays.  It perfectly matched the mood of the time, and,forever after, the mood of a cold rainy day looking back on yet another summer that had bid us farewell....

Feel Every Beat - Electronic

Not sure if anyone here remembers that one.

Someone mentioned this earlier in the thread.

Sunshine on a Rainy Day - Zoe
 

Whatever happened to her?

Late summer/early autumn 1991 had some good tunes. 

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Atlantic 252 days! 19-20 years ago unreal!

 

[Sunny76]

Everything I Do - Bryan Adams 

All summer long 1991, into autumn 1991 and beyond. 16 weeks at number 1.

It was unbearable at the time lol.

Madam Butterfly- Malcolm McLaren

September 1984, but feels like it could be made yesterday. The one thing that dates it is the early part of the song.

I Want to Wake up With you - Boris Gardener.

The cold August and September of 1986
