MySQL get records between now and a month last year

I am trying to create an SQL query to select records where the timestamp is less than NOW() but is greater than september last year, but i dont want to specify the year by putting something like:

date > '01/09/2014'

If i were to run the query today it should give me records from:

september 2014 to May 2015 (May as it is the month at the time of creating this question)

If i run it next year it should give me records from september 2015 to May 2016 (May as it is the month at the time of creating this question)

You can construct the date:

where date >= str_to_date(concat(year(now()) - 1, '-09-01'),
                          '%Y-%m-%d') and
      date < now()

I am guessing that you actually want a slightly more complicated condition. If you run the query at the end of the year (say in December), you probably want September of the current year:

where date >= str_to_date(concat(year(now()) - (month(now) < 9), '-09-01'),
                          '%Y-%m-%d') and
      date < now()
