The Memories Song

MEMORIES

an original song

This is actually a song dedicated to my sister who died in 2006 due to Dengue Shock Syndrome. I wrote this song after the day I dreamed that she's alive. (She appeared in my dreams every time though) Every time I dreamed her, I'm starting to drop my tears and wishing that did not happen. It was a long time ago though. But still it hurts. That changed everything in my life back then. 

This is the last picture of my sister before she is rushed to hospital due to illness. She was diagnosed two days after she joined our Lord peacefully. I was back then depressed and alone. I actually held her picture when I'm asleep and crying the entire night. Honestly, I was out of myself after she died. I do not have someone to play on, someone to lean on and someone to talk. I was literally alone.

This song is totally random. I honestly do not know how I would sing this song since I'm a beginner playing the guitar back then. Well, I try to put some random melodies and try to blend it to the song. I presented it to my friends and classmates on what they can say about this song. Some told me that I'm a dumb and some told me that this is good. So, a year came, I was involved in a movie project which portrays a death. I'm telling myself that I should also present this song as a soundtrack in which I did. However, due to a lack of budget in recording, it did not push through. I was happy that the one I composed is recognized during that time.

Just last year, I went home to Bacolod and randomly asked my friend to post a status on facebook on who wanted to sing for us and luckily we had one. And he also asked his friend to record the song to his place. Which, we did it perfectly. We recorded a 2 hour session to have the song finally official. We even created a lyric video for it. 

My long life dream came into reality. I finally have a full song composed by myself and I give credit to those people who have helped me this song. I even performed it live though. HAHA: D

Lastly, here are the lyrics of the song:

I remember the times when we're having fun with each other 

Talking with each other in the past

Laughing all the time, playing all the time 

Sometimes we quarrel on a certain matter 

If I had a time machine, I could turn back the time 

to relieve our special moments 

with each other before 

it's too bad it was all just a memory 

You've given me, I do not think it will repeat 

the memories will live forever and ever 

I looked at your picture, I was so sad 

Dreaming of you everyday 

Wondering if we were together again 

What would I be right now ? 

It's too late, you died from a sickness 

I can not sleep, I can not eat, can not drink, 

I feel like I'm all alone 

Let's just accept you're with God now 

I know it's hard to move on 

Let's just accept you're with God now
