Rabindranath Tagore: 

Mone rekho
Oh, tobu mone rekho

Jodi dure jai chole
Tobu mone rekho
Jodi puraton prem dhaka pore jai nabopremajale
Mone rekho
Oh, tobu mone rekho

[…] Aachhi na aachhi

Mone rekho
Oh, tobu mone rekho

Mone rekho
Oh, tobu mone rekho

Tobu Mone Rekho (Yet Remember Me)

Yet remember me, if I were to travel far
If old amour were to be covered, in snares of loving new
If I were to be near
But you see me not, like a shade, I remain… or not
Yet remember me
If tears rest on thine eyelid
If play stops in still of honeyed nightfall
Yet remember me
One day when work halts abrupt on an autumn morn – yet remember
If ye remember
In splashed tears, and ye see me not from the corner of thine eye
Yet remember me

Poem by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)
Written in 1887

TRUE WIDOW - O O T P V

3 cover songs I did for Jen as part of a pseudo-proposal to her, and a lazy reentry into recording. It's been >5 years since recording and playing regularly, and the steep atrophy in the duration was painfully apparent. I opted for three, simple/straightforward songs to cover; even then, it was a STRUGGLE. I've never felt particularly lucid with recording previously, but this was a whole new level of incompetence ;) Also, I can barely manage to play the guitar passably nowadays, let alone drum, sing moderately in tune, etc; it is what it is. In any case, I committed to getting these three songs finished quickly without over thinking things, so they're really vanilla and primitive, but it was nice to complete *something* musically -- however slapdash. Not necessarily representative of any direction per se, but at this point I'm just trying to get comfortable with the whole "Perfect is the enemy of good" thing :)

don't you remember me
