I Remember You

by Martin Ruane

I wrote this song for my sister Maria who passed away suddenly December, 2011. When people pass away, our memories of our shared times together lives on through them and this can help with the pain of losing them. 

Composed in 2012.

Lyrics

Verse 1

I remember you,

I remember you tonight,

I remember you,

Until the end of time,

With you.

Verse 2

We shared such special times,

We shared such precious days,

We shared such special times,

All the days we shared,

With you.

Verse 3

These memories are with me,

The memories with me now,

These memories are with me ,

Through the stories of our lives,

With you.

Verse 4

I can still see you today,

I can still see you this way,

I can still see you today,

Till we meet again,

With you.

Verse 5

I remember you,

I remember you tonight,

I remember you,

Until the end of time,

With you.

About Melbourne Tune collection

Melbourne Tune Collection records and publishes original folk tunes and songs from around Australia.

I started this project after realising that I barely knew any Australian folk tunes, even though I’ve been playing the fiddle for almost two decades. It wasn’t that Australians weren’t writing tunes, it’s just that there was limited publishing opportunities for them.

I thought maybe if I collect these tunes and put them together, they would have a better chance of getting played. So in early 2019 I set off with my camera and recorder, first around Melbourne, then across Australia.

This site is the result of these travels. Its purpose is to make Australian folk music as accessible as possible and promote the incredible music that’s being written today. I genuinely believe that there’s something special happening in the Melbourne and Australian folk music scenes right now.

I hope you enjoy playing through these tunes as much as I have!
