Só Pra Você Lembrar

João Gomes' song 'Só Pra Você Lembrar' is a poignant reflection on the past and a yearning for the freedom to live authentically. The lyrics evoke memories of a time when the protagonist and their love interest lived carefree and passionately, engaging in spontaneous acts of love 'na escada' (on the stairs) and 'no elevador' (in the elevator), even under the watchful eye of a camera. These recollections serve as a reminder of a period when they were unburdened by expectations or societal norms, highlighting a sense of nostalgia for the past.

The song also touches on themes of liberation and the pursuit of dreams. The artist questions when the last time was that the person he sings to allowed themselves to be free, to 'voar' (fly), and to fulfill their fantasies. The mention of drinking 'vodka, energético' (vodka, energy drink) and kissing in the 'banheiro sujo da boate' (dirty bathroom of the nightclub) symbolizes a time of uninhibited behavior and the pursuit of one's desires without fear of judgment. This is contrasted with the present, suggesting a loss of that freedom and spontaneity over time.

Ultimately, 'Só Pra Você Lembrar' is a call to embrace the freedom to make mistakes and to live life with the same intensity and authenticity as one's first love. The repetition of 'Fiz essa canção só pra você lembrar' (I made this song just for you to remember) emphasizes the importance of remembering and possibly reclaiming the liberty to be oneself. The artist's desire to follow the person 'até o fim do mundo' (to the end of the world) and to still want 'tudo' (everything) conveys a deep longing not just for the person but for the essence of what they once shared.
