A Remark You Made
Weather Report Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
As the lyrics to "A Remark You Made" are instrumental, we will instead interpret the musical elements of the song. Weather Report's "A Remark You Made" is a stunning piece of jazz fusion, known for its atmospheric and emotive qualities. The song begins with a simple piano melody playing a repeated motif, accompanied by subdued percussion and bass. As the song progresses, the instrumentation builds upon this foundation, with a full string section eventually being introduced to add a lush, cinematic quality to the music. The saxophone solos that take place throughout the song are particularly standout moments, with soaring lines that convey a sense of longing and introspection. The overall effect of the song is one of beauty and melancholy, with a cinematic quality that feels like it could be the soundtrack to a particularly poignant moment in a movie.

I am with you all, who are so much appreciated to this wonderful music.
It is with me so many magic days of pleasure, listening it.
But, please, listen to it again: it is great QUARTET, and not trio as you seems hear.
Drummer is great architect and supporter of this wonderful sound.
Cannot imagine other way of great performance on his place.
And..envelope to vinil... it is great inspiration of designer..It is pure art...
Coming back to drummer, Alex Akuna:
This what I have found about him a minute ago:
Acuña left Weather Report in 1978, and became a session musician in California, recording and playing live with (amongst many others) Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Ella Fitzgerald, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Chick Corea, Whitney Houston, Plácido Domingo, former Weather Report bandmates Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancock, Carlos Santana, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Beck, Roberta Flack, U2, Al Jarreau and Marcos Witt.

R.I.P Wayne Shorter. Thank you for everything you did for Jazz music. There’s a reason why a good chunk of your songs are in the real book. Fly high🙏

My sweet husband romanced me with this albumn years ago. He died of cancer a little over a year ago and I'm shattered. But I know all the songs he played for me. We would stoke up the woodstove in our little houseboat and watch the fire listening to this album Yeh, I miss the hell out of him. Thanks all of you creative musicians!

Take comfort in this beauty, Mary

I’m so sorry for your loss!😢 I lost my fiancé 1 month before our wedding! I miss him terribly! You have this beautiful music to remember him and reminisce over the memories you had! Sending up a prayer for you!

Remember the music and the emotions they brought. That is perhaps all that matters. Bless you.

The bassline that Jaco plays and the response from Joe is heartbreaking. One of most hopeful songs in the world. : ... ) Bless those of you who have lost your love. ❤ I miss my son.

This is my go-to song to hear Wayne. I am heartbroken to hear of his passing today. I was so fortunate to have seen him play a few times including with Weather Report. The world is less today without him.
@TheSonicfrog
Incomparable performance by an incomparable fusion band. Sadly, nothing like this wonderful music being created today ... Wayne, Joe, Jaco you are sorely missed.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music recorded. The year it was released, I used to listen to this at dusk in the mountains, The freezing cold from the icy, fast flowing river on my face. The setting sun hitting one side of the mountain valley above the shadows of the firs. Not just atmospheric... This music is both uplifting and melancolic. As (only two!?) comments... Mesmerising.
