Jackson Fourgeaud began making music at the age of 15, intrigued by some of the pioneers of music and the equipment they used. After his acid house debut on Pumpking records in 1996, Sound Of Barclay released the "Sense Juice" and "Gourmet" EPs, under the name Jackson & His Computer Band. Jackson was commissioned to remix an array of artists including Femi Kuti, Air, Vanessa Paradis, Luke Vibert, Freeform Five and Jean Jacques Perrey.
Jackson Fourgeaud rose to prominence in 2003 with his 'Utopia EP'. The title track "Utopia", features vocals by his mother, Paula Moore, a folk and blues singer. Jackson's radical remix of M83's "Run Into Flowers", later the stand-out tune on Michael Mayer's Fabric 13 DJ mix, proved this unique artist's mettle and crossover appeal.
Warp picked up on these records and released his debut album 'Smash' on September 19, 2005
MEMORY
Jackson and his computerband Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember when it rains
Mmm
Irdi mf Jackson
I remember nighttime
Damn i like the beat
The happiness and pain
I remember how much shit a got to take to be with you
I remember how many nights cried looking like a fool
I remember how many time you said you hate me too
Damn...
I remember when a got up and you still sleeping tho
I gotta go to work bring food at home
Ungrateful bitch still acted like a hoe
Trynna forget but i don't forget my mind I loose control
Forgiveness i do forgive after the first time not anymore
Recuerdo olvidar momentos del pasado que nunca he vivido
Recuerdo esperar aquello que tanto he querido
Recuerdo vivir tu falsedad aunque falso no lo he percibido
Recuerdo todas las noches teniendo miedo de caer en el olvido
I remember how much shit a got to take to be with you
I remember how much shit i said to you
I remember how many nights cried looking like a fool
I remember how many time you said you hate me too
Damn...
She said i'm perfect she thinks i sold my soul
She don't know the pain i've been through i'm still stuck in this hole
Heart broken but still outside pushing P's
Little thing giving me brain on her knees
No digo Caps rapeáis lo que no vivís
Pocos a mi lado y los que hay son top G's
Todo vivido contigo a waste of time
Tiempo perdido and thinking that it would be a lifetime
And that's fine i don't mind DTB i ain't no blind
I remember how much shit a got to take to be with you
I remember how much shit i said to you
I remember how many nights cried looking like a fool
I remember how many time you said you hate me too
Damn...
I remember nighttime
Remember how it feels
Mmm
I remember spring time
mmmm
I remember when it rained
I'm done man...
The lyrics of Jackson and his computerband's song "Memory" are a contemplation of the nostalgia and sentimentality associated with cherished memories. The opening lines refer to memories as "unseen angels" and describe how they linger, ever present in the singer's soul. The reference to the "sacred past" unfolding suggests that these memories are imbued with religious or spiritual significance.
The next stanza reinforces the theme of nostalgia by describing how these memories flood the singer's soul, particularly in the stillness of the night. The lyrics then shift to a more personal reminiscence, as the singer recalls their parents and scenes from their childhood home. The use of the word "precious" to describe these memories reinforces their significance and importance to the singer.

I was wondering why I keep coming back to this video (apart from enjoying the song). I realized, it's because my dreams are always in black and white.
