April & September
My day passed listening to different versions of “Come September” as my dad grew up in that time. But I didn’t mind that at all. In fact, it was fun to enjoy something which made him feel so young. “September days of scarlet, April morning dew” Line from the song “Like Lovers Do”. September days of scarlet: En vacker dag April morning dew: En vacker natt Doesn’t fit well, does it? Per probably wasn’t thinking about this song line either. He must have forgotten about it by now. “Pearls of Passion” - the only time he remembered it was when he released “The Per Gessle Archives”. And then there is of course “Wish you the best” September clouds Shaped just like shells September rain Should fall somewhere else There is September in this song. And guess what, it got modified into “April Clouds”. Hmmm.... Per seems to love mentioning these two months, and some how link them together. Coincidence or is it the Northern European Spring-Autumn factor? There is another September song called “September Girl” which was a part of “The Lonely Boys” project. Nisse Hellberg is the main guy behind that song, and there is no reference to April there, so lets skip it, shall we? Love and Peace 2/9/2017
