Earth, Wind & Fire - September Lyrics




Do you remember
+
The twenty-first night of September?
+
Love was changin' the minds of pretenders
+
While chasin' the clouds away
+
Our hearts were ringin'
+
In the key that our souls were singin'
+
As we danced in the night, remember
+
How the stars stole the night away, oh yeah
+
Hey, hey, hey
+
Ba-dee-ya
+
Say, do you remember?
+
Ba-dee-ya
+
Dancin' in September
+
Ba-dee-ya
+
Never was a cloudy day
+
Ba-du, ba-du, ba-du, ba-du
+
Ba-du, ba-du, ba-du, ba-du
+
Ba-du, ba-du, ba-du-da
+
Ba-du, yeah
+
My thoughts are with you
+
Holdin' hands with your heart to see you
+
Only blue talk and love, remember
+
How we knew love was here to stay
+
Now December
+
Found a love we shared in September
+
Only blue talk and love, remember
+
True love we share today
+
[Chorus]
+
Hey, hey, hey (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
+
Ba-dee-ya
+
Say, do you remember?
+
Ba-dee-ya (Oh)
+
Dancin' in September
+
Ba-dee-ya (Hey)
+
Never was a cloudy day
+
And we'll say ba-dee-ya (Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya)
+
Say, do you remember?
+
Ba-dee-ya (Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya)
+
Dancin' in September
+
Ba-dee-ya (Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya)
+
Golden dreams were shiny days (Dee-ya)
+
The bells was ringin', oh-oh
+
Our souls were singin'
+
Do you remember never a cloudy day? Yow

(Show video at the top of the page)


"September" is a song by the American band Earth, Wind & Fire released as a single in 1978 on ARC/Columbia Records. Initially included as a track for The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1, "September" was very successful commercially and reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart, No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart.

Although several theories about the significance of the date have been suggested, the songwriter Maurice White claimed he simply chose the 21st due to how it sounded when sung. His wife, Marilyn White, however, claimed that September 21 was the due date of their son, Kahbran, according to lyricist Allee Willis.

Willis was initially bothered by the gibberish "ba-dee-ya" lyric White used through the song, and begged him to rewrite it: "I just said, 'What the fuck does 'ba-dee-ya' mean?' And he essentially said, 'Who the fuck cares?' I learned my greatest lesson ever in songwriting from him, which was never let the lyric get in the way of the groove."

The song remains a staple of the band's body of work and has been sampled, covered, remixed, and re-recorded numerous times.

It was added to the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry list of sound recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important" in 2018.
