In the same vein as “September Song”, how about “Golden Days” from Sigmund Romberg’s operetta “The Student Prince”? I love the rhyme of “golden days” with “memory’s haze”!

It’s good to see this thread has taken off. I’ll drop another one here that I only have a vinyl rip of… We used to see him live back in the day. Big Jim Couza… He also appears on the Peter Gabriel Ovo album playing Hammered Dulcimer, (an instrument he was a master of) that was recorded for the Millenium Dome…
This track is from his Jubilee album…

So sorry Graeme - that’s way too young. Lost my mum to cancer, about the same age, when I was a wee boy.

So sorry to hear about your Mum - must have been devastating at that age.
In my 51 years, watching my brother lose to cancer is the hardest life experience I’ve had.

Since Thom Yorke, the composer of the song “Creep,” no longer relates to it, nor wishes to sing it again, I’ll leave this one in the hands of a more youthful messenger…
