Big Star - September Gurls (Official Lyric Video)

Found out this was a single release in 1974. How did this get overlooked.??? This should of been a huge record. This song was far better than some of the schmaltz that was on the radio at the time.

So chi-mee! Makes me want to grab my guitar and sing along while lying on my bed (and pretend I am a Big Star too). I can see how the Beatles influenced the Byrds, and later they in turn, influenced REM and Matthew Sweet, and others, and they influenced other bands. And hopefully this vid inspires some new young bands to keep this type of songwriting style going. There is still an audience demand for it today I am sure. Cheers.

Alex Chilton was the December boy, born on December 28, 1950. He was the singer for The Boxtops at age 16 when he had his only #1 hit in 1967 with the song The Letter.

Perfect song

So glad the Bangles covered this and I found the original. A power pop gem! Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular

The bass line is beautiful.

This was the song Alex Chilton thought would be a radio hit. Sadly their distribution agreement sucked and it never was launched in any major markets. All three albums they recorded are memorable.

It doesn’t get any better than this. A few years ahead of its time.

I don’t care about celebrity deaths very much, but Alex Chilton’s death hit pretty hard.

Sublime.

This song breaks my heart every time. Beautiful!

A song I love that I didn’t hear until the band broke up. Alex Chilton’s voice is wonderful.

I'm in love ... with that song!

とても　素晴らしい曲です　簡素で美しい　大好きな曲

Sound like Teenage Fanclub

One of the most perfect power pop songs ever! Those jangly guitars. This song just feels so so so good. Love it!

Damn! That might be my favorite rock and roll song ever! Alex hilton etc RIP!

So this is where the Bangle got this song. I think I'm going to like this group.

Amazingly beautiful track ever....cried...at last.

Saw the black crowes at grand ole Opry as we waited for them to start they had mod lang and this one playing on there intro music hadn't listened to much big star in a few years now im hooked all over again from the 90s

One of those songs that'll sound like it was written yesterday forever

Could that strat be any quackier? Position 2, baby!😄

Its like nirvana took ssri tablets

September Boy's also got it bad

Whomever did this Sagittarius Virgo in space video had some insights. And I don't even believe in astrology. If anything, I'm a Chinese rooster.

Man I LOVE that Byrds-y jangle!

big star possessed shimmering songs and in alex chilton a quixotic talent.

I wish i could isolate all the guitar layers. The more i listen to Big Star the more layers i hear.

FREE PALESTINE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Alex ( R.I.P.)

Man i love alex's voice on this

I love this band, but I understand why they failed. It's a production problem imo.

♍️ Virgo woman - Sagittarius ♐️ man

Customer.... I'm in Love... :)

Isn't it 'December boy's got it bad', a singular boy?

AH, my favourite song...

The Replacements brought me here

The Searchers do a great cover of SG

Pop music perfection.

September 2023. Still listening!

What a song.

But I’m a Cancer with a Virgo September Girl. Can’t send this to her. Goddamnit.

Best rhythm guitar of the 70’s !!✨

I commented the first verse on Naomi Yang’s post which was her teenage photo. I hope she liked it… .
