Remember The Feeling

In 'Remember The Feeling,' Chicago delves into the bittersweet experience of a fleeting, almost dreamlike love. The song opens with the protagonist encountering a mysterious woman in the shadows, a vision so captivating that he is immediately drawn to her. This initial encounter is shrouded in darkness, symbolizing the unknown and the allure of the unfamiliar. The woman's voice, unforgettable and enchanting, pulls him into a whirlwind romance, leaving him hopelessly in love.

The chorus serves as a poignant reminder of the intense emotions and the deep connection he felt. The lyrics, 'She came and wrapped her arms around me, told me that she cared, said she'd always be there,' highlight the comfort and security he found in her presence. This woman takes him to new emotional heights, showing him a beauty that transcends the physical, suggesting a profound inner beauty. However, there's an underlying sense of disbelief, as he questions whether this experience was too good to be true.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reveals his vulnerability and loneliness before meeting her. She becomes his guiding light, illuminating his path and filling the void in his life. Yet, this intense connection is short-lived. The repeated lines, 'She was alive I was caught by the fire, she brought emotions that filled my desire,' emphasize the passion and intensity of their relationship. The abrupt ending, where he awakens to find her gone, leaves him in a state of longing and confusion. This sudden disappearance underscores the ephemeral nature of their love, leaving him to cherish the memory of the feeling rather than the reality of the relationship.
