September Song Lyrics
Do you remember the
21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night
Remember how the stars stole the night away
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda
My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love
Remember how we knew love was here to stay
Now December found the love we shared in September
Only blue talk and love
Remember the true love we share today
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
There was a
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days
The bell was ringing, aha
Our souls were singing
Do you remember
Never a cloudy day
There was a
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
There was a
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days
Ba de ya de ya de ya
Ba de ya de ya de ya
Ba de ya de ya de ya
De ya
Ba de ya de ya de ya
Ba de ya de ya de ya
Ba de ya de ya de ya

"Released in 1978 by Earth, Wind & Fire, "September" is a vibrant homage to love, joy, and the nostalgia that carries the essence of September's 21st night. Its lively melody, energetic vibe, and unforgettable lyrics have secured its status across various generations and music styles, marking it a classic.The Making and Significance:
Allee Willis, who co-wrote the song, initially disagreed with Maurice White's insistence on incorporating the "ba-dee-ya" phrase in the chorus, aiming for more coherent lyrics. However, she eventually embraced White's perspective that the song's groove was more important than the lyrical clarity. This mindset ultimately highlighted the tune's infectious beat and broad appeal, focusing on the emotional resonance rather than specific meanings.
Selecting "the 21st night of September" was based more on how well it sounded rather than any significant personal or historical relevance. Willis and White considered different dates but chose the 21st because it perfectly matched the song's rhythm, demonstrating the creative liberties taken during songwriting where the sound of the lyrics can outweigh their direct meaning.
Cultural Impact and Legacy:
Achieving number one on the US R&B charts, "September" has enjoyed immense acclaim and carved a permanent niche in music's history. Its capacity to instill joy and a sense of celebration makes it a popular choice at various events, creating shared experiences of happiness and unity.
Beyond chart achievements, the song has been featured in films, commercials, and experiences a viral resurgence each September 21st, attesting to its ongoing popularity and the collective craving for connection and festivity.
Conclusion:
"September" is a tribute to the enduring power of music that values rhythm and feeling over complex lyrics. Earth, Wind & Fire's iconic piece continues to motivate and cheer listeners around the globe, showcasing music's role in uniting people and forging unforgettable memories. Being listed in the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress as an "aural treasure" reinforces its cultural and historical value, guaranteeing its preservation for future enjoyment.
At its core, "September" celebrates the exuberance of life, the warmth of love, and the cherished act of reminiscing those pivotal moments that shape our common human journey."
