In March 2006, the drums and bass were recorded at Finnvox studio, Helsinki, with Antti Lehtinen on drums again, and Tommi Saarikivii on bass. The main difference here? There was no producer this time.
Indeed, this would be one of the main characteristics of this album:
Eilera would produce her own album.
Back home, Eilera, together with her work partner of all times Loïc Tézénas,
will record all guitars –with Loïc on guitar-, as well as the fiddle lines, and vocals. (added guitars in studio later on)
On fiddle was a newcomer this time: Tony Canton, a talented musician who lives in the centre of France, and who brought the Celtic fiddle lines.
The last two studio sessions happened in December 2006.
First Hip Studio, with two familiar faces to back Eilera and Loïc up: Hiili Hiilesmaa's and Juha Heininen's.
This is where the recording of strings-ensemble was done, with Max Lilja back on cello.
Then? Back to Finnvox for the final mix and mastering.
Hiili added his personal touch to the final sound of the album, and Mika Jussila -another familiar man-of-the-situation- to the mastering.
All in all, this album will confirm the main themes in Eilera's work:
balance between Strength and Frailty, Ambiguity, closeness to Nature, the roots of these 'precious moments' in life.
And her two obsessions of all times:
Freedom and Beauty.

September
Eilera Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fresh and insolent breeze is smacking me in the face
Fresh and insolent breeze is shaking me up to tease
Sending shocks to my brain
Fresh and insolent breeze and my brain is wandering
...I am awaking with the touch of September...
I'm awaking
I'm awaking
I am being called to Life again

Fresh and insolent breeze is smacking me in the face
Fresh and insolent breeze and my pulse is quickening
Sending shocks in my veins
Fresh and insolent breeze and my body 's celebrating
...I am awaking with the touch of September...
I'm awaking
I'm awaking

I am being called to Life again
...I am awaking with the touch of September...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eilera's song "September" seem to describe the feeling of waking up and being rejuvenated by the fresh breeze of the new season, September. The "fresh and insolent breeze" seems to awaken the singer's senses, sending "shocks" to her brain and body. The language used is quite sensory, with the breeze "smacking" and "shaking" the singer and her pulse "quickening" and shocks running through her veins. The repetition of "I'm awaking" and "I am being called to Life again" further emphasize this feeling of rejuvenation and awakening.

It's interesting to note the use of the word "insolent" in the lyrics, as it adds a somewhat rebellious or bold feeling to the song. The idea that the breeze is "insolent" suggests that it's not following the rules or expectations, and perhaps this is why it's able to awaken the singer so powerfully. Additionally, the mention of September specifically adds a poetic touch to the lyrics, as September is often associated with the changing of seasons, the start of a new school year, and other transitions.

Overall, "September" seems to be a song about the beauty and power of nature to awaken us and bring us back to life. Whether it's a literal interpretation of the start of a new season or a metaphor for personal growth and renewal, the lyrics capture a sense of newfound energy and possibility.
