about

The signature part of this composition is the hooky melody riff that opens the track and reappears throughout the song. The lyrics were formulated on a pizza box top after a trip to Gull Harbour, Manitoba. After a fun weekend and back in Winnipeg, we joined our friends around their pool, and continued the fun. We ordered pizza and after eating, ripped the top off one of the pizza box tops, and began taking turns writing out lyrics line by line until the cardboard was full. After the party, we took the pizza box top home and put it in our studio. It sat there for over a year. One day after we had developed and initial rhythm for the song, we pulled out the pizza box and began developing the lyrical content for the song. We used some of the lines verbatim, but others we had to morph as the structure of the song became clearer. We often referred to the composition as “The Pizza Box “song. Celebrating the times we have had seemed an appropriate theme and tribute to those who love us, as the song is about being remembered when we are gone. It is a cry to live again, and again, and to be carried forth in memories of those who go forward.

lyrics

Sitting in The Hot Sun
Thinking everything has come undone, it ain’t no fun
Caught a glimpse of a Dead Face
In an unexpected place
I might have been high, or was it a lie

We could say goodbye today, was I ever Alive
It’s all the same when you’re playin’ the game
You remember my name

Walking down the road
An’ I starting feeling kind of cold (you know it)
It’s in my bones
Maybe someone’s in my place
No foot steps, that I could ever trace
Even when I tried

We could say goodbye today, was I ever Alive
It’s all the same when you play the game
If we leave this place without a trace, will we fade away
It’s all the same…..when you’re playin’ the game…..
You better remember my name
Solo
I might have been high
Don’t tell me goodbye

We could say goodbye today, was I ever Alive
It’s all the same when you’re playin’ the game….oh yeah, do ya hear me
If we leave this place without a trace, un huh, will we fade away
It’s all the same when you’re playin’ the game
Remember my name

Don’t forget me…..Ya remember…..Remember my name
Oh will you remember my name…….Remember my name
