SONG: September
ARTIST: Earth, Wind, & Fire
ALBUM: released as a single, but you can find it on the album: Best of Earth, Wind, & Fire Vol. 1

I will just come out and say it, I love disco with a fiery passion. With all of its fast-paced uplifting melodies, groovy guitar riffs, bright horn sections, light hearted lyrics, and that need to dance disco awakens in me! All you guys who think you're too cool for disco, you are missing out.

I choose September because its always been one of my favorites and...just listen to it and tell me it doesn't put you in an amazing mood! September was released in 1978 during I Am sessions and released as a single. It sold over a million copies and was certified "Gold".

Yeah, yeah its disco... but the orchestra and vocalists of Earth, Wind, & Fire are really quite brilliant and the song is so well-composed. The beginning of September starts out pretty calm with that one single guitar riff and those little finger snaps making for an exciting build up of anticipation for that great big blazing brass intro. The complete halt of the horn section leads so smoothly into the even smoother vocals. Maurice White's voice matches that same energetic rhythm of the guitar and other instruments throughout the whole song. The chorus is just sublime. It takes the feeling of the song to a whole nother level. And the lyrics, what can I say, they are happy as hell like the rest of the song.

p.s. video will be up this evening
