September

Tauren Wells' rendition of 'September' is a heartfelt homage to the original song by Earth, Wind & Fire, capturing the essence of nostalgia and the timeless nature of love. The lyrics transport listeners back to a specific moment in time, the 21st night of September, evoking memories of joy, love, and unity. The imagery of 'chasing the clouds away' and 'dancing in the night' paints a picture of a perfect, carefree evening where love was the central theme, and everything else faded into the background.

The repetition of 'Ba de ya' throughout the song serves as a joyful, almost hypnotic refrain that emphasizes the carefree and celebratory nature of the memories being recalled. This phrase, while seemingly nonsensical, adds to the song's infectious energy and helps to anchor the listener in the moment being described. The lyrics also highlight the transformative power of love, suggesting that it has the ability to change minds and bring people together, as seen in the line 'Love was changing the minds of pretenders.'

As the song progresses, it shifts from the past to the present, reflecting on how the love that was discovered in September has endured through time. The mention of December signifies the passage of time, yet the love remains strong and true. This enduring love is described as 'golden dreams' and 'shiny days,' suggesting that the memories of that night continue to bring light and happiness into the present. Tauren Wells' soulful delivery and the uplifting melody make 'September' not just a song about reminiscing, but a celebration of love's lasting impact on our lives.
