Perfect Memory by Remy Zero
For me, this is a song of remembrance, a promise that you will not forget someone, and that he/she will hold a special place in your heart whatever circumstances or whenever time may takes you, you can never forget him/her. The song is about two persons growing up together, probably childhood sweethearts, and then they fell in love with each other. Their story was reflected in the song, how that love had complications for some reasons: maybe they were too young, maybe their parents were too strict or maybe their parents just didn’t want them to be lovers at all. Then it narrates the foolishness they had done as children, the times they spent, the experiences how the unaccepted relationship left the boy hurting, and how they conquer everything with their love.
I love the line “summers when the money was gone you’d sing, all your little songs that meant everything to me” which reflects on how they were able to cope up with the trials of their relationship including financial matters, and it didn’t concern them much that they were able to handle it, even have to sing on it.
And what I love the most is how their love has stood above all things even in death. And as he stood in the grave of the girl, he still feels her presence. She is there with him always, comforting him, and lifting his pain. And on that grave he made his promise to always remember her. Losing her was painful, and he finds himself expecting that one day, she would show up in the doorstep, but deep inside him, he knows that it will never happen, and all he could do was to remember her. And by remembering he finds comfort in his loneliness.
The song for me is very beautiful and the message is very clear, “a promise that you would not forget someone, and that he/she will always hold a special place in your heart that nobody could ever replace”.
