As usual with my music there is a certain dose of mystery surrounding these tunes, where they come from, how they came about. This is a story about one of these tracks, <em>Sometimes Remember<\/em> (from my upcoming album <em>Sensual Musicology<\/em>). While working on it I used a sample from an old recording, editing it for the melody, not for the meaning. I ended up with a melody I really like, that has an obscure meaning. It says:<\/p>\n<p><em>Sometimes, mmm, I like to rise<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Sometimes, remember<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The sample was radically altered and the melody was so entirely rebuilt that I asked my old friend and very good singer Valeria Rossi to sing it for me (and record it: this was during the 2020 lockdown). When I had to explain the meaning of the lyrics I always said it was a Cut-up, which it is, and this is what I wrote in the copious liner notes printed on the inner sleeve &#8211; old school. Then the other day I realized the meaning of this text, which is what I&#8217;m going to answer if anyone will ask: this song is sung by the Moon, in first person, to let us know that she likes to rise but not always, and we should remember that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes funny things happen in music, and with this new &#8220;acoustic&#8221; music I&#8217;ve been making in the past 10 years is especially true: people hear things in it, references that I did&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[225],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sergiomessina.com\/fosforo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10895"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sergiomessina.com\/fosforo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sergiomessina.com\/fosforo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sergiomessina.com\/fosforo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sergiomessina.com\/fosforo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10895"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.sergiomessina.com\/fosforo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10895\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10896,"href":"https:\/\/www.sergiomessina.com\/fosforo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10895\/revisions\/10896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sergiomessina.com\/fosforo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sergiomessina.com\/fosforo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sergiomessina.com\/fosforo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
