Try to Remember
Nostalgic Echoes of September: A Melodic Journey into Time
Lyrics
Try to remember the kind of September
Reflecting on a past September, suggesting a nostalgic tone.
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Describing a time when life was unhurried and serene.
Try to remember the kind of September
Reiterating the desire to recall a particular September.
When grass was green and grain so yellow
Evoking the imagery of lush green grass and golden grain.
Try to remember the kind of September
Continuing to emphasize the idyllic nature of the mentioned September.
When you were a young and a callow fellow
Recalling a time when the speaker was young and inexperienced.
Try to remember and if you remember
Encouraging the listener to remember, creating a sense of shared experience.
Then follow--follow, oh-oh
Prompting the listener to follow the memories being presented.
Try to remember when life was so tender
Recalling a time when life was delicate and sensitive.
That no one wept except the willow
Depicting a time when sorrow was rare, personifying the willow as a symbol of sadness.
Try to remember when life was so tender
Reiterating the tender nature of the past.
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Highlighting the association of dreams with comfort and security.
Try to remember when life was so tender
Repeating the idea of a tender and gentle past.
That love was an ember about to billow
Describing love as a smoldering ember about to flourish.
Try to remember and if you remember
Encouraging the listener to remember these sentiments.
Then follow, follow, oh-oh
Reiterating the call to follow the memories being evoked.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Acknowledging the pleasantness of remembering in December.
Although you know the snow will follow
Acknowledging the inevitability of challenges, symbolized by the approaching snow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Reiterating the positive aspect of remembering even in difficult times.
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow
Suggesting that without pain, the heart lacks depth and substance.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Reiterating the positive value of remembering in December.
The fire of September that made you mellow
Recalling the warmth and mellowness associated with the past September.
Deep in December our hearts should remember
Expressing the idea that hearts should hold onto the memories.
Then follow--follow, oh-oh
Encouraging the listener to follow the positive memories being recalled.
Follow, oh-oh
Repeating the call to follow the memories, providing a sense of closure.
