Try To Remember
K. & J.J. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When life was slow and oh so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September,
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September,
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Try to remember when life was so tender,
That no one wept except the willow,
Try to remember when life was so tender,
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender,
That love was an ember about to billow,
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow (follow) follow
(follow, deep in December it's nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember,
Without a hurt the heart is hollow.)
Deep in December it's nice to remember,
The fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December our heart's should remember,
And follow (follow) follow (follow) follow
"Try to Remember" is a poignant ballad by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, which resonates with nostalgia for a simpler, sweeter time. The song opens with an invitation to the listener to remember a particular September, perhaps a time in the past that was marked by a sense of ease, peace, and abundance. The next two stanzas expand on this theme of memory, evoking a time when life was tender and dreams were close at hand. The fourth and fifth stanzas provide some contrast to this idyllic picture, suggesting that December brings a different mood, one that is more melancholy and cold.
The song's refrain, "Then follow, follow, follow," adds an interesting layer to the lyrics. It is unclear what the singer is asking the listener to follow, but it suggests a call to action, a desire to recapture some lost sense of innocence or beauty. The repetition of "follow" also creates a hypnotic effect, reinforcing the idea that the past is worth returning to in the present.
Overall, "Try to Remember" is a wistful, romantic tribute to the power of memory to evoke deep emotions and longing for happier times. It invites the listener to imagine a world of simple pleasures and to savor the sweetness of life's fleeting moments.

Try to remember the kind of September,
Reflect on the past and recall the gentle and soothing feeling of September.
When life was slow and oh so mellow.
When life was leisurely, calm and relaxed.
When grass was green and grain was yellow
When the fields and meadows were lush and bountiful.
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
When you were young and inexperienced.
When life was so tender, that no one wept except the willow,
When life was so gentle that only the willow tree could shed tears.
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
When dreams were kept close to you always.
That love was an ember about to billow,
When love was still in its early stages of passion and intensity.
Then follow (follow) follow (follow) follow
