Listen "You’ll Remain In Me"
Episode Synopsis
Episode #3: You’ll Remain In Me - (Song at 3:53)
Welcome to Episode 3, this week we have : You'll Remain In Me, song #170, written in 1991.
Here I am in my studio in Melbourne. It’s midnight and you're my intimate listening audience. I'm pretending I'm on a stage, doing a gig. I have license to talk. Which I do, presenting the usual back story to the song, the actual demo recording, then lyric analysis and some songwriting tips to follow. I enjoy talking about the songwriting process. Hopefully my laidback & inclusive style will appeal to the layman, as well as aspiring songwriters…
In this episode, ‘You’ll Remain In Me’ is a statement, in effect, about my ending a personal relationship. Each relationship we experience has the power to transform us - and they will, whether we are aware of this or not. Letting go is a delicate process. You do consider the long term implications.
Here I’m singing with Paul Dredge who’s doing the harmonies and Earl Pollard on drums - a great guy & a wonderful musician, who is sadly no longer with us. We recorded this after a gig at a piano bar we used to work at 5 nights a week. I loved this baby grand. Join us here - pull up a chair for a listen, see where it takes you.
In these podcasts, as I record them, memories float in from the time I wrote the song. So you'll get it straight from the songwriter. It's confessional, not over serious though - I like having a laugh as well as getting all arty in my reflections. So I'm enjoying the whole podcast recording process.
