Remember the Music
Empire Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll teach you how to play
I'll be patient with you
Someone who's patient with me
Oh ah, there'll always be a chance that you could hit the wrong note
Everybody could laugh and make you think you won't grow
You don't have to give up, it's not the end of the world
You live and you learn
Even when you think that times get hard
It's temporary hard
All you gotta do is make that call
I'll be there
Don't be scared
You don't got to lose it
Remember the music
Ooh, remember the music
In the past it's been hard as hell
You don't know, know how much pain I felt
But everybody's got a story to tell
Sometimes you got to face the music and play by yourself
But there always be a chance that you could hit the wrong note
Everyone could laugh and they don't wanna hear no more
You don't have to give up, it's not the end of the world
You live and you learn
Even when you think times get hard
It's temporary hard
All you gotta do is make that call
I'll be there
Don't be scared
You don't got to lose it
Remember the music
Remember
It's the answer
Don't you ever forget the music
No!
You live and you learn
Even when you think times get hard
It's temporary hard
All you gotta do is make that call
I'll be there
Don't be scared
You don't got to lose it
Remember the music
In the song "Remember the Music" by Empire Cast, the lyrics tell a story about persevering through difficult times and not giving up on one's passion for music. The opening lines, "Follow my hands, I'll teach you how to play, I'll be patient with you, someone who's patient with me," suggest a mentoring relationship, where someone is sharing their knowledge and offering support to a musical apprentice. This is reinforced in the later lines, "All you gotta do is make that call, I'll be there, don't be scared," indicating that the mentor is available to offer advice and encouragement whenever needed.
The chorus reinforces the theme of perseverance and resilience, stating that even when times get tough, it's important to "remember the music." The lyrics acknowledge that making mistakes and facing criticism is a natural part of the learning process, but it's important to not let those setbacks overshadow one's love for music. The line "Sometimes you got to face the music and play by yourself" suggests that pursuing music can be a solitary journey, and that success is often the result of individual effort and determination.
Ultimately, the song is a celebration of the power of music to inspire and uplift, and a reminder to stay committed to one's dreams even when the going gets tough.
