Always Remember Me
Ry Cuming Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two by two, lovers' stand, on the beach at Santa Monica.
Pretty eyes, long hair, smelled so sweet like summer in the air.

(Chorus)
Watch me as i fall.
To the water calling.
Watch me as i sink.
To the sea and always remember,
Me.

Come back, back to me, back to where the mountains meet the sea.
We'll build a house, of driftwood, keep it simple, simple is good.





(Chorus x2)

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Ry Cuming’s song, “Always Remember Me” evoke a powerful sense of romanticism and nostalgia. The lines, “Two by two, lovers' stand, on the beach at Santa Monica. Pretty eyes, long hair, smelled so sweet like summer in the air” paint an exquisite picture of two individuals in love, gazing out at the ocean, touched by the soft breeze of summer.


The listener is then beckoned with the words, “Come back, back to me, back to where the mountains meet the sea. We'll build a house, of driftwood, keep it simple, simple is good.” These lines seem to be the singer reaching out, urging the object of his affection to return to him. The simplicity of their love is captured in the imagery of a driftwood house. It's a place of comfort and familiarity, a reflection of their love.


The chorus has a sorrowful undertone that reflects the feelings of the singer. He watches as he falls and sinks deep into the sea, but he asks that they always remember him. This plea reinforces the idea that although the singer may not be physically present, he will always be remembered by his lover.

I can't listen to this without tearing up, because I can't help but let it remind me how much I still miss the first girl I ever fell for. I hope she is at peace

For me one of the worst crying is when you're lying in bed, with your hand over your mouth so you don't have to make a.noise
the tears are running onto your pillow and your heart is breaking and you thinking what mistakes you done and wishing to say sorry, but you know that nothing ever gonna be the same.And you can't handle the hurt in your chest, it feel like you are dying from the inside.Like you are alive, but inside you are dying and screaming.And this song reminds you how everything was before..

whats even worse is when this song was part of everything before and you find yourself constantly coming back to it because even though it hurts, you kinda just don't wanna forget
