Cover art for September lyrics by Earth, Wind & Fire

if i can put a different spin on this... if you take it from a "love lost" perspective, it's almost a bittersweet memory of being in love, since all the lyrics are in a past tense, it sort of implies that the relationship has ended.

the chord progression and the melodies seem quite bittersweet, angsty, i miss you type. especially the high pitched parts, almost wailing out for a lost lover.

dunno. just a thought...
