Earth, Wind & Fire’s ‘September’ is just a timeless, feel-good pill
Among the countless songs throughout history, there are a couple that never fails to change our mood for the better, regardless of how gloomy things might seem.
These singles are what we would describe as the metaphorical light that parts the grey clouds on a stormy day. One most recent example is ‘Dynamite’ from BTS. Now, I’m not a huge K-Pop stan outside of having a crush on the gorgeous girls of BLACKPINK, but ‘Dynamite’ simply feels like the summer that 2020 never had.
However, if we’re talking about the classics, I would argue that few do it better than Earth, Wind & Fire’s ‘September’. You know the lyrics: ‘Ba de ya, say do you remember / Ba de ya, dancing in september/ Ba de ya – never was a cloudy day’
Sure, the current month had a lot to do with reminding us of this timeless treasure. But where else could a song convince us to repeatedly bust out a falsetto, even if we were hopelessly tone-deaf? Or a tune so groovy and funky that it unleashes the dancing old soul we never thought was inside of us?
Plus, the MV itself is just a whole lotta fun. Psychedlic lights, those outrageous 70s outfits, lead singer Philipp Bailey and his crew dad-dancing their way to music immortality, it has everything.
Oh, and it also gave us arguably one of the best Morgan Freeman scenes ever.
Out of all the years to develop a sense of escapism from all of the doom and gloom, 2020 is that year. And September, between its multi-instrumental intro, smooth vocals, iconic ‘ba dee yas’, and irresistible festive vibe, gives us just that.
