September
F.E.W Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Bill Fries, Chip Davis)

From the album Wolf Creek Pass

When the skies are gray, and the wind is cold, I remember. How the snow was silver, and the leaves were gold when I left her. It was early mornin', on a Rocky Mountain September. And she was gone.

Well now it's five A.M. an' I'm a hunnert an' ten miles from Denver
An' the snow is silver an' the leaves are gold an' I miss her

'Cause it's another mornin' on a another mountain September
An' I'm alone

Yeah, we climbed the mountain together, an' we stood on top a' the world. But now I gotta remember it all... alone.

When the fire is warm, an' the sun is cool, in November. When my heart is young, and my mind is old, I remember. An early mornin', on a Rocky Mountain September. And she's gone.

Well now it's fall again an' I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
An' I can can hear her voice an' I see her smile an' I miss her
An' it's another mornin' on another mountain September
An' I'm alone

Yeah, we climbed the mountain together, an' we stood on top a' the world. But now I gotta try to remember it all... alone.

Overall Meaning

The song "September" by F.E.W is a melancholy ballad about a lost love that haunts the singer every time he finds himself in the mountains during the month of September. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of how the memories of the singer's past love flood his mind and heart when he sees the silver snow and golden leaves that remind him of the day he left her. The first verse sets the stage with the singer reminiscing about the past and how his love was present during that time. However, as the second verse begins, it's clear that it's a memory he longs for since he's currently 100 miles from where he last saw her, making him miss her even more.

As the ballad continues, the chorus repeats the theme of "climbing the mountain together" and "standing on top of the world," a metaphor for how their relationship had reached the pinnacle of happiness. However, this metaphor now becomes a poignant reminder of the past since he finds himself alone, missing the warmth and comfort of his former love. In the last verse, the singer speaks of how he remembers her during November, another passing season that brings the same futile yearning for the past.

Overall, the song is laden with regret and heartache, a testimony to how fleeting love can be and how the memories of past loves still linger long after they're gone. The lyrics tug at the heartstrings of anyone who has ever experienced a failed relationship or unfulfilled love.
