Remember (Feat. The Presets)

Steve Angello's 'Remember (Feat. The Presets)' is a poignant exploration of nostalgia, loss, and resilience. The song's lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their past dreams and emotions, evoking a sense of longing for simpler times. The repeated question, 'Remember when you had a dream?' serves as a powerful reminder of the aspirations and innocence that often fade with time and life's challenges. This nostalgic tone is further emphasized by the mention of a heart and love, suggesting a time when emotions were pure and untainted by the complexities of the world.

The song also delves into the theme of disillusionment, as seen in the lines 'Remember when you sold your dreams for nothing?' and 'But now you're on your own.' These lyrics highlight the harsh reality of growing up and the sacrifices that often come with it. The sense of isolation and self-reliance is palpable, as the protagonist grapples with the consequences of their choices and the loss of their youthful dreams. The repetition of 'But now you're on your own' underscores the loneliness and the need to find strength within oneself.

Despite the melancholic undertones, 'Remember' also carries a message of resilience and perseverance. The lines 'Keep running up a hill, fight back, don't stop' and 'Don't you lose your head in the air' encourage listeners to keep pushing forward, even in the face of adversity. This juxtaposition of nostalgia and determination creates a compelling narrative that resonates with anyone who has faced setbacks and continues to strive for their goals. Steve Angello and The Presets masterfully blend these themes with an evocative melody, making 'Remember' a powerful anthem for reflection and motivation.
