It’s a track to reminisce on a carefree time where young lovers spend every waking moment together. Y’all ready to settle down and, get with thisĭo You Remember is an ode to the metamorphosis of a timeless, Afrocentric romance. That is why I am going to purvey the ways in which some of the songs from Words and Sounds have shaped me, providing the soundtrack to many facets of my life.
