Melodic Mondays: Remember Me by Ivan Torrent

8 Comments

I stumbled across this song while watching Thor: The Dark World fan videos. I was procrastinating my life looking for some new music to post, and this song captivated me; so after I finished the video (which is also gorgeous and should be watched by everyone who’s seen the movie because there are spoilers), I searched out the song itself.

“Remember Me” is the perfect writing song: the sound of the music itself is gorgeous, plus the singer’s voice has such a lilting, storyteller’s quality that it really draws you into the music and the story behind it. I feel like this is another song that just has so much more to it, like you could write a whole novel based on it, and I’ve discovered that I really love things that hint at deeper meanings and bigger stories. :D

So what’d you think of this song? If you wrote a story based on it, how do you think you’d work the plotline? Hey, if you want, give it a start and post a few paragraphs in the comments! I’d love to read it. :)

Quick note: IT IS TAG WEEK AGAIN! *throws confetti* So, if all goes to plan, you should see me at least three more times this week with posts I’ve been given around the blogosphere. It’s gonna be fun, and I can’t wait to share these with you guys. :D

Good song. I'm adding it to my youtube playlist. (I use youtube for music streaming because I'm weird.)

YES. THIS IS GORGEOUS. Goodness, it could have no lyrics at all and I could continue to listen to it because that music is amazing!! And that's the sort of melody that kinda gives you chills. This is lovely. xD

Ooh, I do think this would fit rather well with the Thor theme! It's a very lovely song. Thanks for sharing it. :D

Just came across this page while searching for the meaning of the song “Remember Me”. Looks like it’s been a while since someone posted on here. :-)

To answer your question on the plot line, I would look at it as the love story of the prince and the “angel” (a princess, maybe the prince once called her “angel”) as told by the princess to the prince. The prince no longer remembers because of the curse of sorrow placed on him by Lady Dark, her last effort to keep them apart. Lady Dark wanted to rule, and this wanted to win the prince’s heart for herself. The love he has for the princess is still within, but drowned out by the curse of sorrow. The princess recounts the story to try to keep the remeberances alive in herself, as well as attempt to bring them back to the prince, who doesn’t remember. For the curse to be broken, he has to remember...

Something like that. It’s a start.
