From the recording Remember
Lyrics
Lyrics
Re-memberPut back togetherRememberRemember who you are
Sometimes we forgetOr the world demands we doBut you still have time yetSo do what you must do
If you do forgetAs we’re bound to doTake up your regretAnd put it past you
Refrain
The body doesn’t lieOn this you can dependListen to its cryAnd you’ll be on the mend
Once you hear its cryIt will be your friendBreathe with you a sighBe with you to the end
Refrain
Re-member who you areRemember who
Bring your fingersBring your toesDon’t forget to bring your noseWho you are I can’t supposeSo remember who you are
Bring your feetBring your heels, tooBring your heartNow we’re almost throughWith a head on your shoulders youShould remember who you are
Remember who you areRemember who you areRemember who you are
Story
We need all of ourselves to be ourselves and sometimes feel detached body and soul. I pictured us as poor stick figures that had fallen apart. (Can someone make me a video of this?!) I especially love hearing Mike’s voice on this—his singing is such an inspiration to me and needed harmonic on this song. Band demanded calypso beat so don’t blame me if you don’t like it—just let go and re-member. (P.S. Don't give up. This was take 12.)
