Comelade born was in Montpellier, France. After living for several years in Barcelona, he made his first album, Fluences, influenced by electronic music and by the group Heldon.
Subsequently, his music has become more acoustic and is characterised by the sounds of toy instruments, used as solo-instruments and as an integral part of the sound of his group, the Bel Canto Orquestra.
He has collaborated with many singers and musicians from diverse genres of music including Robert Wyatt, Dani, Faust, Christophe Miossec, Toti Soler, Jac Berrocal, and P.J. Harvey to mention just a few.
Comelade is considered an adherent of electro acoustic post-modernist music and a follower of Heldon, Brian Eno, Michael Nyman, Robert Wyatt and Carla Bley.
Pascal Comelade is a French composer who specializes in a progressive-rock format with childish nuances such as toy instruments. The resulting scores are soundtracks of an imaginary Wonderland, somewhere between Erik Satie and Barry Adamson.
September Song
Pascal Comelade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
The song September Song by Pascal Comelade is a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of time and the precious moments we have with the ones we love. The opening lines "Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December/But the days grow short when you reach September" convey the passage of time and the sense of urgency that comes with it. As we grow older, time seems to move faster, and September represents the changing of seasons and the end of summer.
The autumn weather turns the leaves to flame, an image that conjures up both the beauty and sadness of the passing of time. The lines "One hasn't got time for the waiting game/Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few" remind us that our time is limited, and we must use it wisely. The singer is aware of the fleeting nature of life and wants to spend these precious days with the person they love.

Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December
The time between the month of May and December seems like an eternity.
But the days grow short when you reach September
As we approach September, the days begin to feel shorter.
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
During autumn, the weather changes and the leaves on trees change color, turning red and orange like flames.
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
We don't have time to wait around for things to happen.
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
As we near the end of the year, there are only a few days left.
September, November
The months of September and November are especially significant during this time of year.
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
