Music for Change (Another Mix Tape)

Autumn arrives Saturday. With the change of seasons it's to think about making changes.  It also a time for new beginnings. The school year begins. For some companies the new fiscal year starts October First.

I've come up with a few tunes about changes. Some are obvious. Some deal with the subject indirectly. As always, your suggestions are welcome.

See You In September - The Happenings
September in the Rain - Frank Sinatra
Wake me Up When September Ends - Green Day
September Song - Willie Nelson
Autumn Leaves - Cannonball Adderley
Changes - David Bowie
A Change is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke
Everybody Oughta Make a Change - Eric Clapton
Change Partners - Stephen Stills

Change Partners - Antonio Carlos Jobim/Frank Sinatra
Different Today - Kenny White
Something in the Air - Thunderclap Newman

Music for Bastille Day Mix Tape

The musings for this one are late. I attended a Bastille Day Festival in NYC on Sunday. What music do you think would best highlight the day?
Anything by Tower of Power?
Going Out of My Head? (Dedicated to the Guillotine)
Marat/Sade - Judy Collins
Something in the Air - Thunderclap Newman
Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who (Dedicated to Robespierre)
Cut the Cake - Average White Band (Dedicated Marie Antoinette)
Revolution - Beatles
Tangled Up In Blue - Bob Dylan

Have you got any ideas?
Let me know.
