September Morn by Neil Diamond (1979)

1979’s  “September Morn was “Neil Diamond’s last “Great Song of the ’70s” before moving on to “Great Songs of the ’80s ’90s…and 2000s.

The song is about a couple meeting up again after a breakup, and wondering if the fire was still there…or if it could be rekindled.

It was one of Neil’s best ballads, and it was a #2 hit on Billboard’s adult Contemporary Chart.

But Now let’s skip ahead 32 years to 2011,when things got weird–although Neil had nothing to do with it.

On April 13th of that year, 20-year-old Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo vanished.

Almost immediately, authorities received all sorts of anonymous tips about where she might be–all of them bogus.

But one of the calls came from a person who insisted the lyrics to “September Morn” contained important clues.

No one could figure out what those clues might be–so although it made some headlines, nothing came of it.However…in 2014, Holly’s remains were found…on a September morning.

Coincidence? Maybe…or Maybe not…but either way, it’s still weird. But back to the song itself: “September Morn” remains a Great Song of the ’70s!
