about

Remembrance is a song which stems from my early days in Elizabeth NJ, circa 1999, when I was in a power-trio called Food Stamp Fury. Although I much like the original electric version*, I kept coming back to the idea of updating this tune as an acoustic version as I thought it might be fun to play with its potential for dynamic color.

What pleased me most about revisiting this tune was not so much the idea of changing it but expanding it a wee bit. This number was, perhaps, a tree that had yet a few more branches to extend - and yet it remains the same old tree.

I penned this one but, needless to say, there are several quotes in the intro and outro from classic tunes such as Blue Moon and Bob Marley's My Cup and Redemption Song. I could not resist the temptation to update this song with a dash of the Latin American ballad Perfidia.

Cheers,

Deivito

*(I will be posting the original Food Stamp Fury version soon.)

lyrics

Remembrance
by Deivito

As time goes by I'm groovin' on,

she don't know how to sing so long.

Now, I'm you're servant, born and raised,

I'd just die just to sing your song, for long.

So long, so long, so long a life.

So long so long, so long a life.

Now even though we can hold our own,

there's no need to be alone.

Naked words be naked love,

naked two be naked one blood.

One blood, one blood, be thou and I

One blood, one blood, be thou and I

One blood, one blood, be thou and I

One blood, one blood, be thou and I

Blue moon and an orange sun,

brown round earth for every one

Dying, flying, feelin' fine,

one small word can save your life.

Remembrance, remembrance, remember when

Remembrance, remembrance, remember when

Remembrance, remembrance, remember when

Remembrance, remembrance, remember when

Ah yeah.

And I love, and I love, and I love you oh so.

Remembrance song, remembrance song, remembrance songs

Are all we'll ever sing.
