September
Serial Funkers Lyrics

Do you remember
Asking the listener if they can recall a certain memory

Twenty first night of september
Referring to a specific date to aid in the listener's recollection

Love was changing the minds
An allusion to how love can have transformative effects

Of pretenders
Implying that some people may pretend to feel love but were really changed by it

While chasing the clouds away
Suggesting that love has the power to brighten even the darkest of days

Our hearts were ringing
Describing the intense emotions felt during this particular memory

In the key that our souls were singing.
Using musical imagery to convey the depth and beauty of the moment

As we danced in the night,
Painting a vivid picture of the setting in which this particular memory took place

Remember
A repeated reminder to the listener to keep this memory fresh in their mind

How the stars stole the night away
An acknowledgement of how magical and unforgettable this moment was

Ba de ya
Non-lexical vocables used to emphasize the sounds of the music

Say do you remember
Repeating the original inquiry to reinforce the importance of this memory

Dancing in September
A key detail to help the listener remember the specific memory being recalled

Never was a cloudy day
Again, emphasizing how this particular memory was especially bright and joyful

My thoughts are with you
Meaning that despite the time and distance since that memory, the singer still regards it fondly

Holding hands with your heart to see you
Recreating the sensory experience of holding hands and seeing the object of one's affection

Only blue talk and love,
Alluding to the intensity of emotions shared between the two lovers

Remember
Again, repeating the need to keep this memory alive

How we knew love was here to stay
Recalling the sense of certainty and security that love brings

Now December
Referring to the present time frame, long after the September memory

Found the love that we shared in September
Acknowledging that the same love from that special memory has persisted over time

The true love we share today
Highlighting the importance and value of a love that endures

Ba de ya de ya de ya
Continuing the musical refrain, emphasizing the sounds of the music

Ba de ya de ya de ya de ya
Repeating and building on the musical refrain from earlier in the song

Ba de ya de ya de ya (Say do you remember)
Interlacing the lyrics and music to create a highly memorable song that stirs up deep emotions in the listener

Ba de ya de ya de ya (Dancing in September)
A callback to the original request for the listener to recall the specific September memory

Ba de ya de ya de ya (Never was a cloudy day)
Injecting a last dose of positive nostalgia to end the song on a high note
