Josh Groban – Remember

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain so yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a young and callow fellow,
Try to remember and if you remember then follow.

Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember and if you remember then follow.

Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow.
Deep in December our hearts should remember then follow.

Then follow

    General CommentMy favourite part is in the end wehn josh sings "I Live forever"

    Something about the way he sings it makes me think " forever is an awefully long time" and I noticed just how powerful the word forever is lol its strange but think about it

    anyways this song is about not wanting o be forgotten when they leave this earth, for they never really leave after all do they?

    General CommentThis is from the movie Troy, played -- I believe -- after Achilles dies. It's very fitting for the movie, and it's just a beautiful song in general.

    General Commentwell, its obvious the song is about achilles, the whole film is about how he craves immortality through the ages in stories as a fearless hero. agree with de7ilznite it is very moving. 'I will never die...' I love the kinda eastern female vocalist in the background! Its like hes acheived his goal, but not in the very brutal masculine way you presume he will at the begining because his charactor falls in love with the princess of troy, I guess you feel hes reached his goal it kinda leaves a silence at the end of the film...a bit like the last sonnet of romeo and juliet *sigh* good song :thumbup:
