September in the Rain
Washington Dinah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In September in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying ember
That 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
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
That September in the rain
The lyrics of this song are about a love that was experienced during the month of September, a time where leaves fall down and the weather becomes cooler. The opening two lines describe the falling leaves, which sets the mood for the song. The third line describes how the sun went out like a dying ember, possibly symbolizing the end of the warm season and the start of the cooler weather.
The second verse is where the focus shifts towards the love story. The singer talks about hearing every word of love whispered during the rain and how the raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain. This could signify the beauty of the relationship even during tough times. The final lines talk about how, even though spring is here, the singer still feels like it's September in their heart, possibly meaning that the love that was experienced during that time is still strong and present.

The older I get the more I am drawn to the music of yester year. What an artist, vocal perfection. Dinah Washington one of the all time greats.

Great post Mick! She was the generation slightly before me but parents schooled me on her Billie Nancy Sarah! Tremendous voice on Ms Washington! What an era!

I hear you. Im 50 years old amateur musician and have transformed into a music lover of all eras. I heard the Beatles version of this song 20 years ago and YouTube just started back then, so it was easy to find this original! I don't know why people are obsessed with age? I enjoy music and culture overall more and more the older I get. As a 50-year-old I can say I now feel like a grown-up and Im not afraid of getting older!
