Praised for both its conceptual strength and immediate emotional resonance, Love Remains duly garnered vast critical acclaim and highlights such as “Ready for the World” and “Decisions” saw Krell accredited with having given birth to a new, narcotized strain of R&B that has since spawned a host of imitators.
Since Love Remains, Krell has toured the world, recorded an EP with an orchestra (the Just Once EP, with proceeds going to raise awareness about mental illness) and, always prolific, written and recorded a lot of new music - all whilst continuing work on a philosophy doctorate. September 4th 2012 will see him share this new body of work with the world with the release of Total Loss, his new album.
Words I Don't Remember
How to Dress Well Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only wanted one thing on my mind
Who can ever resist outside, it's a risk I wanna try
But it's you that got all my time
What is love but nothing more than anything you wanted, baby
And who could ever wanna be erasing all that time
What is there for me to say but words I can't remember
Yeah, who knows if I love you, baby
But you're the one thing on my mind
If you could let your angels out I'd rescue one at a time
But that's just ghosts in the corners of your eyes
So what is trust but knowing when to let you have your silence, baby
To let you have your peaceful, private corners of your mind
Just don't ask me to sing for you these words I won't remember
And I won't tell you how to live out your life
The lyrics to How to Dress Well's song "Words I Don't Remember" describe a relationship where the singer is in love but struggles with expressing it through words. They are aware that love is complicated and goes beyond just wanting someone physically, but they also feel uncertain about the future of the relationship. The singer touches on the theme of trust - the need to give some measure of privacy to their partner - while also voicing their inability to communicate their feelings in words. The imagery of ghosts in the corners of the eyes reflects the idea of memories and emotions that may haunt a person but remain elusive and too difficult to comprehend or explain.
Overall, the song evokes a sense of emotional complexity, vulnerability, and longing. The singer is struggling to find the right words to convey their emotions, and attempts to navigate their feelings through an intricate web of trust, respect, and a deeper understanding of love beyond physical attraction. The song captures a moment in a relationship where the future is uncertain, but the love is genuine, and the emotions are intense.

You know that I love you, baby
I have romantic feelings for you
Only wanted one thing on my mind
You are the only thing I can think about
Who can ever resist outside, it's a risk I wanna try
I am tempted to explore risks in my current situation
But it's you that got all my time
I prioritize spending my time with you over anything else
What is love but nothing more than anything you wanted, baby
Love is about giving someone what they want
And who could ever wanna be erasing all that time
No one wants to forget the time spent with their loved one
What is there for me to say but words I can't remember
I struggle to express my emotions in words
Said it was you for the rest of our lives
I promised to be with you for the long haul
Yeah, who knows if I love you, baby
I am not entirely sure if I love you
But you're the one thing on my mind
I cannot stop thinking about you
If you could let your angels out I'd rescue one at a time
I want to ease your fears and troubles
But that's just ghosts in the corners of your eyes
Your fears and troubles are intangible and hard to overcome
So what is trust but knowing when to let you have your silence, baby
Trust means respecting your need for privacy and quiet
To let you have your peaceful, private corners of your mind
I understand that you need space and time to yourself
Just don't ask me to sing for you these words I won't remember
I cannot promise to express my feelings in a specific way
And I won't tell you how to live out your life
I won't interfere with your choices and decisions

My words of wisdom is "Do what you love."

Love this track and how it implodes into a huge "Purple Rain" vamp at the end.
