Mira’s music to me is often full of reminiscence. When I heard these lovely piano samples I felt that I could express a similar feel with lyrics and additional instruments. I think many of us remember their days of joy and lighthearted energy. This is what this song is about… moments we cherish… we once knew and shared with our loved ones.
I started with a set of Mira’s piano samples https://soundcloud.com/mirandashvangiradze and started building the track with drums and vocals. During the process of adding other instrument, the process of creating and mixing I updated Mira with ‘in between’ mixes. We contacted each other about some ideas and Mira spontaneously recorded her back vocals. It became a full collaboration and boy… do I like the result :))
Piano, backing vocals and initial mix of these by Mira Lyrics, vocals, Fender Strat guitar, Fender Jazz bass, drum programming, Yamaha keyboard, arrangement, mix and production by me.

Lyrics of "Remember":
I remember – the days of sunlight At the garden table – the happy faces Everyone had a tale Fooled around, ate some drink some Those are the days to remember
Everyone was there Children playing The dog running – in circles I remember your face With a smile Preciously caught in time
Those were the days – my pride I want to recall this time The way we were back then Easy and so cheerful
Those were the days – my anchor All that I want remember The way it used to be Without a future worry
(remember, remember, remember)
Those were the days – my pride I want to recall this time The way we were back then Easy and so cheerful
Those were the days – my anchor All that I want remember The way it used to be Without a future worry
Those days are gone now Lying in the tall grass You took my hand and I Knew that you’d understand
Nothing lasts forever Despite what we endeavor We ceased the days of blessing All of what I’m caressing
