10. “Got To Get You Into My Life” by Earth Wind and Fire
Song Year: 1978
“Got To Get You Into My Life” has a fantastic big bang and jazz elements that kick the song off with a bang and carry it through.
The song is about falling in love with someone and desiring for them to be a part of your life. If you’ve ever had a crush on someone from a distance, you’ll resonate with the sentiments of this song.
The hope, the desperation, the dreams, the love – this song expresses all of these passion-filled emotions with a groovy beat and a jazz guitar interlude!
11. “Reasons” by Earth Wind and Fire
Song Year: 1974
Philip Bailey, one of the members of Earth Wind and Fire, is known for his falsetto singing, and the high notes he’s able to hit on “Reasons” is out of this world.
It was never released as a single, so it didn’t make a notable chart appearance, but we guess that it certainly would have if it were. Plus, it gets lots of credit and is acknowledged as one of Earth Wind and Fire’s greatest hits. And the saxophone interlude doesn’t hurt.
12. “Can’t Hide Love” by Earth Wind and Fire
Song Year: 1976
“Can’t Hide Love” is a smooth, sultry tune from EWF that’s all about the feeling of falling in love and having it take over your every thought, thus not being able to deny it.
The song speaks to how there are times when you want to hide your feelings from someone – whether it’s because you don’t want to complicate a relationship or you don’t feel ready to move forward. But ultimately, when you know, you know.
And the song’s narrator is speaking to the person he’s falling for, sharing how he knows she’s falling for him too.
13. “Getaway” by Earth Wind and Fire
Song Year: 1976
Another upbeat heat by Earth Wind and Fire is “Getaway,” filled with dynamic, intricate, and exciting instrumentals.
“Getaway” is about leaving all the worries, negativity, and hurtful people and things that might be around you and getting away from it all – whether physically or mentally.
It calls on the listener to ignore hateful people and leave their cares behind to enjoy life fully.
14. “Mighty Mighty” by Earth Wind and Fire
Song Year: 1974
“Mighty Mighty” is one of Earth Wind and Fire’s “funkiest” songs in terms of its drumming.
The song is about the power of unity – when one person feels weak, another can be strong, and together they can be “Mighty Mighty.” It speaks to the idea that together, we can face any challenge.
This song is meant to get people up together and celebrate life, community, connection, and better days to come.
15. “In The Stone” by Earth Wind and Fire
Song Year: 1979
One of the best aspects of “In The Stone” is the riveting, passionate trumpet-heavy intro that builds up and creates excitement for the rest of the tune.
Once the beat drops, the song feels more familiar to “regular” Earth, Wind, and Fire songs, with a groovy, steady beat. But it still has intermittent brass interruptions that keep the excitement alive.
The song is filled with metaphors about love and life, so it’s a more unique Earth Wind and Fire song to use for a wedding.
16. “Keep Your Head to the Sky” by Earth Wind and Fire
Song Year: 1973
“Keep Your Head to the Sky” is one of Earth Wind and Fire’s earlier hits, and it’s become a favorite for people who love their soft, smooth, sentimental songs.
The song is about staying strong through hard times and keeping your faith and hopes up for better times. It’s also about finding your will, your life’s purpose, and your “why,” which makes staying motivated and positive about life much easier.
17. “Devotion” by Earth Wind and Fire
Song Year: 1974

The song aimed to bring harmony and light to a dark and turbulent time in America. In general, Earth, Wind, and Fire understood and embraced the power of music and melody to inspire and uplift people, and they did it so well.
18. “Be Ever Wonderful” by Earth Wind and Fire
