When I get my prosthetic leg, this will be the first song I will dance to.

[mackenziepm]

I love this. I’m captivated by the singer. He seems genuinely entranced by the song. His delivery is exceptional.

[gerardbrennan]

I've listened to this song for a while and I absolutely love it, is anyone getting A-HA vibe

[MatthewKressel]

Feels like it's '84 and I'm strolling through the mall. Good stuff.

[plasticdents]

This song and performance are amazing — singer’s vox are so perfect, melodies so bittersweet.

[kennethfriedman]

Channeling Ultravox, Alphaville and the great bands of the 80s. I love this.

[richies]

what a great song. Does anyone else notice that he sounds exactly like Morten Harkett from A-ha???

[leSingeMajestueux]

I'm not a native english speaker. First time I heard this song, I instantly loved it, but all I can hear is "It's September Miguel" and I love it even more.

[lauralynnfranco]

Seen you 3 times in 3 states. Every time is better

[jeremylee]

i like the way the synth operator moves. It's groovy.

[Americanxennial]

Where did this voice come from!?!? WTF! The most angelic, awesome thing maybe I’ve heard. Amazing. This is my new favorite band Let’s

[tekknojunkie]

I really like this song.


- lyrics -
I wander off on
Some kind of vision of sunlight
But our hands fall
From your left
From my right
...
So you go back to church to reclaim the feeling
You say you don't understand why
And you spend extra time standing naked in the mirror
When you wanna wear something nice
And it's September again
Flipping through the same old books
But you're reading less
And it's September again
I don't mind
I don't mind
I'm gazing upon
Stained glass and ceilings of pure white
The choir calls
From the back
And it's nice
...
Now you've got to know
You move in cascading light
Oncoming autumn
You can't remember the last time
A life so long
And you fade
And it's fine
...

[coquetteriedancer]

I just find the first 10 seconds so wholesome. The members of the band waiting for the "tick tick" and bursting into smiles, continuing to perform the song

[jimmycass]

This was the song on the debut that really blew me away on the first listen. Killer killer track!

[Amanda-zeft]

I LOVE THIS BAND! This song makes me emotional, I love the lead singers voice and he is mesmerizing to watch.

[johannesljan]

I love KEXP! Thank you for showing me these amazing artists! ❤

[Maximillion]

One of the few bands that remind me of being a kid in 85 listening to the radio.

[aimiev]
