about

“The basic necessity for music in everyone’s life is demonstrated over and over again because it does thrive, people do sing, people make music alone and together all over the world….Music will cease to be only when humanity ceases to be.
People making music are not consumers. They do not use things up. They make things grow.”

For my grandfather, Charles Huether (March 28, 1918 – June 11, 2011), and for everything we forgot, and for everything we remember.

lyrics

Forget
Remember
I’m forgetting to remember anymore
Indispensable details of a human life
A line of years, months, and days
Family faces and places and names.

Tying a shoe
One loop then two
Gotta bring it around and pull it through

Forget
Remember
It’s a vicious tug of war between the two
But the less you remember
The more I forget how I could remember you

Forget
Remember
The piano and your tools upon the floor
The smell of your work shirt, orange marmalade
And the letter opener at noon
If I looked in your head would I find those things, too?

Body and soul
Which stays, which goes?
Ties are untied, the book is closed

Forget
Remember
Still, a song can fill your empty eyes with dew
But the less you remember
The more I forget how I could remember you.
