It's Easy To Remember
The Rhythmettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The smile you gave me
The way you looked when we met
It's easy to remember
But so hard to forget
I hear you whisper
I'll always love you
It's easy to remember
But so hard to forget
So I must dream
To have your hand caress me
Fingers press me tight
I'd rather dream
Than have that lonely feeling
Stealing through the night
Each little moment
Is clear before me
And though it brings me regret
It's easy to remember
But so hard to forget
Your sweet expression
The smile you gave me
The way you looked when we met
It's easy to remember
But so hard to forget
I hear you whisper
I'll always love you
I know it's over, and yet
It's easy to remember
Oh so hard to forget
So I must dream
To have your hand caress me
Fingers press me tight
I'd rather dream
Than have that lonely feeling
Stealing through the night
Each little moment
Is clear before me
And though it brings me regret
It's easy to remember
But so hard to forget
The Rhythmettes' song "It's Easy to Remember" is a captivating ballad that explores the paradox of remembering and forgetting one's loved ones. The song is a reflection of someone who is trying to hold on to their memories of a past love, how they felt when they first met, their sweet expression, the smile given to them, and them whispering that they will always love the person. The lyrics reveal how difficult it is to forget the memories, although they know deep down that the relationship ended, and it's not coming back.
The persona in the song feels torn between wanting to move on and holding on to the relationship's memories in their heart. The lines, "So I must dream, to have your hand caress me, fingers press me tight, I'd rather dream than have that lonely feeling stealing through the night" reveal how the persona is trying to navigate the pain and the void left by the relationship's end. They would rather hold on to their dreams of being with their loved one than face the loneliness and emptiness of their reality.
The chorus reinforces the message of how easy it is to remember the good moments with the loved one, but it's so hard to forget them. The persona acknowledges that they are filled with regret, but the memories still flood their mind despite trying to move on. In summary, the song's message emphasizes how difficult it is to let go of a love that once was, particularly the memories and moments that made the relationship special, even when it's over.
