‘Remember’: Instrumentation and Mood

The instrumentation on the track is groovy, taking the listener through its soundscape and down memory lane. The music helps each word ease in, every memory-image take shape.

The idea that music is what triggers the memories of this love long gone is also present throughout. ‘Remember’ begins with lines that are nostalgic for a time of youth gone by as it describes the couple first meeting.

The song’s second verse details how the two began to drift apart, which is clearly evident in these lines:

“…Remember when we the music was fading,

You didn’t even put up a fight…”.

It’s almost like this was a long-time coming.

The bridge before the final refrain allows for the nostalgia to settle and for present pain to make it through. “…I thought we were the same, guess I was wrong…I thought you’d take my name but now you’re gone…”.

The highlight of the song is how its lyrics bring back the word “music” to evoke different emotions. The same word, used the first time, evokes a sense of nostalgia that spreads throughout. This before its second use evokes passion and the third conjures up a sense of fleeting love, that’s close to fading.

In the end, ‘Remember’ by Robbarti is a dity that conjures up nostalgia to process hurt before ultimately validating it and moving forward. Its an interesting listen that introduces its listener real, yet penetrating emotions.
