The Memory that Wouldn’t Let Go

I was 17, a kid on the streets of Atlanta, when it happened. I was walking down the alley behind the old record shop, my hands in my pockets, the beat of my headphones barely audible. I heard the sirens first, then the gunshots. The next thing I knew, my best friend was on the ground, his life flashing before his eyes.

That night, I didn’t just lose a friend; I lost a part of myself. “I Still Remember You” was born from the pain of that moment. The song is a reminder, a memory, a scar that won’t let go. It’s not just a track; it’s a story.

The Alley

I still remember the alley that night. The dim light from the street lamps cast long shadows on the dirty walls. The sound of the sirens was a constant reminder of what was happening. My friend, Jake, was trying to protect his younger sister, but it was too late. The police had already arrived, and the paramedics were doing their best to help, but it was too late.

The Soundtrack

“I Still Remember You” is a song that captures that moment, that sound. It’s the sound of the gunshots, the sirens, and the silence that follows. The song is a tribute to Jake, but it’s also a reminder of the cost of not knowing. The cost of not paying attention, of not being there when you need to be.

The Archive
