Do You Remember?
Claire's Birthday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And by god oh yeah you better believe him
When he tells you that he's leaving
It's for good
This is your last chance
And tonight you're gonna have your last dance
And you know what's goin' on
This stuff makes you cry
Chorus:
Do you remember
Thins once were different
Back to those times when it was all
By the way
For the good times now
Let's stick together
I'll stick around
Yeah i will rescue you
His letters you've got them
And god knows that you read them
Much too often
But he has forgotten once again
These times of sweetest bliss
From these moments that led on to your first kiss
To the moment that is now
It's all thrown away
Chorus
It's getting old you know
All this talk it wears you out
Forget the world
Forget your troubles
You're just human
And you'll do what you can just to hold on...
Do you remember
Do you remember it all by the way
For the good times now
Let's stick together
Let's stick together
And i will rescue you
The song “Do You Remember?” by Claire's Birthday is a melancholic piece that delves into the struggles of letting go of someone who's gone away. The narrative is centered around a woman who has received her partner's parting letter and cannot seem to let him go. The lyrics talk about the last chance the woman has at having her final dance with her beloved. The song speaks of the pain and uncertainty of holding onto love that is no longer there, and the constant reminder of their love that the woman cannot seem to forget. The lyrics suggest that the woman wants to hold on to the memories of the good times, but she also struggles with the reality of the present and the fact that it is time to let go.
The chorus, “Do you remember? Things once were different. Back to those times when it was all by the way”, speaks of the desire to go back to those times when everything was fine and the relationship was perfect. It's a bittersweet song that captures the struggles of a relationship that has come to an end. The lyrics seem to suggest that the woman wants to rescue her love, but it might have to be just a memory now.

You know that he's leaving
You are aware that he is departing
And by god oh yeah you better believe him
His words should be trusted without a doubt
When he tells you that he's leaving
His confirmation of departure is true
It's for good
His leaving will not be temporary
This is your last chance
This is the final opportunity
And tonight you're gonna have your last dance
Tonight will mark the last time of celebration together
And you know what's goin' on
You are aware of the situation
This stuff makes you cry
This situation causes you emotional pain

Thins once were different
Things were once dissimilar

Return to a period when everything was

Let's stick together
Let us remain united
I'll stick around
I'll be here throughout
Yeah i will rescue you
I will save you
His letters you've got them
You possess all his letters
And god knows that you read them
God knows you've read them frequently
Much too often
Far too frequently
But he has forgotten once again
But he has overlooked it again
These times of sweetest bliss
The instances of true happiness
From these moments that led on to your first kiss
From those moments that ensued your initial embrace
To the moment that is now
Until the present moment
It's all thrown away
It has all been discarded
It's getting old you know
You are tired of the situation
All this talk it wears you out
Persisting conversations exhaust you
Forget the world
Ignore everything else
Forget your troubles
Disregard your anxieties
You're just human
You are only a person
And you'll do what you can just to hold on...
You will attempt everything to sustain your being
Let's stick together
Let us remain united
And i will rescue you
I will save you

mäletan kui oli aasta 2003, olin noor ja värske teismeline siis, ostsin selle muusika kasseti, seisab siiani riiulis aukohal, kuulan aegajalt seda. tõeline nostalgia ja kvaliteet muusika meie tühikargajate ja rolfide seas

Well, I don't know if they're still together, but Vaiko Eplik (the singer) has a nice solo carreer, I'd be soooo happy to hear him in the Netherlands too!
@astronor63
These guys are great! Are they still around? Welcome to Norway!!!
@monesv
Indeed, indeed. Magusalt mõru on see asi, et neid kauneid asju ei saa enam kunagi tagasi - ainult meenutused-mälestused on neist jäänud.

kurat küll kuhu kõik head bändid nüüd kadunud on...?
@user-kf1sh7mb6s
See on üks elu suuremaid müsteeriume. ;) Meil on peetäis suurepäraseid lauljaid, aga mitte ühtegi legendaarset laulu viimasest kümnest aastast. V.a Curly Stringsi "Kauges külas". ;)
