Willie Nelson’s September Song describes how time gets faster each day. Constantly throughout the song, Nelson describes these days in the autumn season as “Special days” and how they dwindle down every second. One piece of lyric really gets to me: “ Oh, it 's a long long while From May to December But the days grow short When you reach September.” This really gets to me because I remember the days where I woke in the morning and it was dark, and when I got out of school in the early afternoon, it only took an hour to get dark again. It made me really gloomy, considering that most of those days were grey cloud days, and at times it made me really depressed. I felt sad that this is what I had to live with everyday for the next couple of months.
