Known for their intensely heavy sound and critical messages toward society, Lamb of God’s track is featured on their October 2022 album Omens.

Powerfully addressing the cycles of war and violence and the repetition of human history, the song harnesses groove metal elements to deliver a message that leaves a deep impression on listeners.

With the direct expression characteristic of an American band and performances that showcase the members’ high level of skill, it captivates heavy metal fans and doesn’t let go.

It’s a recommended track for those who are conscious of the world’s current issues or who want to cleanse their spirit with aggressive music.

Flaming SeptemberMarianne Faithfull

It’s a song sung by Marianne Faithfull, a singer from London, England, whose father was a university professor and whose mother came from a distinguished Austrian aristocratic family, with ancestors linked to the Habsburgs and Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.

The song is included on her 1995 album “A Secret Life” and evokes a mood that hints at the arrival of autumn.

Autumn Leaves is famous as a jazz standard.

Because many well-known jazz artists have covered it, there may not be that many people who are familiar with the original version.

The song was composed in 1945 by the French artist Jacques Prévert.

Coming right after World War II, when entertainment was highly valued, it quickly became a global standard number.

This time I’ve chosen Nat King Cole’s version, and one highlight is how his deep voice beautifully captures the fleeting nature of autumn.

Come SeptemberNatalie Imbruglia

A masterpiece that strikes listeners’ hearts with a voice that blends translucence and poised sincerity, interwoven with dramatic strings to create a beautiful sound—Come September.

It’s the closing track on Natalie Imbruglia’s second album, White Lilies Island, released in 2001, and a fitting medium-tempo ballad to conclude the record.

Some may even think of this song when they hear “Western music for September.” It’s unclear whether the “she” in the lyrics refers to a specific person or to Imbruglia herself, but while portraying a protagonist facing adversity, the song declares, “When September comes, everything will be all right.” If you’re looking to make a fresh start in September, or if your summer didn’t go so well, listening to this song might give you the courage to move forward!
