Lyrics for Song: I remember you
Lyrics for Album: Mistrial [1986]
I remember you
I remember me
I remember
I remember how things used to be
I remember every word that you said
I remember, how could I forget
I remember, I remember you
(I remember, I remember)
I remember you
I remember your old address
And I remember
how could I forget
I remember thinking how my luck changed
I remember being so amazed
I remember, I remember you
(I remember, I remember)
I remember, I remember you
(I remember, I remember)
I remember you
I remember me
I remember
the way things used to be
I remember how it was that we met
I remember, I will never forget
I remember, I remember you
(I remember, I remember)
I remember, I remember you
(I remember, I remember)
I remember, I remember you
(I remember, I remember)
I remember, I remember you
(I remember, I remember)
I remember, I remember you

About I remember you
"I Remember You" stands as a haunting centerpiece on Lou Reed's 1986 album *Mistrial*, marking a significant shift in his late-career sound. Recorded during a period of intense personal reflection and artistic reinvention, the track blends Reed's signature gothic rock sensibilities with a more introspective, almost operatic vocal delivery. The song explores themes of memory, loss, and the lingering presence of a former lover, utilizing a sparse arrangement that allows the emotional weight of the lyrics to resonate deeply. Released alongside other notable tracks on *Mistrial*, such as "No Money Down," the recording exemplifies Reed's ability to deconstruct and reconstruct his musical identity in his final years. Rather than adhering to the polished production of his earlier work, the album embraces a raw, textured aesthetic that mirrors the subject matter. "I Remember You" remains a powerful testament to Reed's enduring capacity to transform personal anguish into universal art, cementing his status as a visionary figure in rock history. |
