Hello, everyone in this wonderful Open Mic community.
It is week 252 of this amazing Open Mic and the theme is My Truth. The song I have chosen to perform this week is titled Will You Remember Me?
This week's prompt proved to be a bit abstract for me. However, I stumbled upon this song again yesterday while I was surfing YouTube and thought to myself "this is not exactly my truth at the moment, but it's pretty close enough,” so I thought I'd give it a go.
The song is from the TV series Kyle XY, and I'm still angry with abc for discontinuing it when they did, and so abruptly too. Anyways, I've always loved songs in movies, musicals, and things like that, and this one was just particularly good to listen to. I have a lot to say about this song and the show generally, but I'll just cap it off by saying “go watch Kyle XY if you haven't yet.”
Here is a YouTube link to the scene in the Kyle XY series where Lori Trager performed the song at an Open Mic.
Here are the lyrics of the song, even though I have edited them into the video.
I've come undone
Nobody's won
Being alone
Has given me hope
The seeds that are sown
Here on my own
Are giving me hope
Hope to burn again
If I remember you,
Will you remember me?
If I remember you,
Will you remember me?
It killed me when you left
I become so torn
Hhat once felt like theft
Is making me hope
Now that I can see
Who I'm meant to be
Now that I am one
I can burn again
If I remember you,
Will you remember me?
If I remember you,
Will you remember me?
And it's a silent voice
All I can hear
Ringin' in my ear
And it's your silent choice
Bring me new fears
It's bringing me to tears
If I remember you,
Will you remember me? (x4)
Sourcel
See ya next week.
