As the summer sun begins to fade and the crisp air of autumn slowly settles in, September arrives with a rhythm all its own. It’s a month of transition—of golden leaves, cooler breezes, and a subtle shift in mood that’s often reflected in music. From wistful ballads to reflective rock anthems, September has long inspired artists to capture its essence in song.

On Episode 332 of The Softer Side with Carl Rossi, we’re celebrating this seasonal shift with a specially curated playlist where every track features “September” in its title. It’s a musical tribute to the month that bridges summer and fall, blending nostalgia, warmth, and introspection.
Listeners will hear timeless classics like Frank Sinatra’s “September Song”, a poignant reflection on the passage of time, and Carole King’s “It Might As Well Rain Until September,” which captures the melancholy of waiting and longing. The playlist also includes modern favorites like Green Day’s “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” a powerful anthem that resonates with themes of loss and remembrance.
But the journey doesn’t stop there. Carl Rossi brings together a diverse mix of artists and genres, each offering a unique interpretation of September’s emotional landscape. Whether it’s jazz, pop, folk, or soft rock, the songs featured this week invite listeners to slow down, reflect, and embrace the softer side of the season.
Tune in to The Softer Side for this heartfelt musical experience, and let the sounds of September carry you through the changing days. For more episodes and on-demand listening, visit myKNCT.com.
