"The Song Remembers When" is a song written by Hugh Prestwood, and recorded by American country music singer Trisha Yearwood. It was released in October 1993 as the lead single and title track from her album ''The Song Remembers When''. The song was later covered by Kristin Chenoweth for her 2005 album ''As I Am.'' ==Story== "The Song Remembers When" is a slow ballad written by Hugh Prestwood. It was originally recorded by Kathy Mattea but was dropped from her album in the final stages of production. It was then picked up by Trisha Yearwood, who recorded it as the title track of her third studio album. The song is a testament to the way that music can instantly trigger a memory that was seemingly forgotten. The woman in the song is waiting for change at a counter when she hears a familiar song. Out of nowhere, she is suddenly reminded of a time when she and a former lover sang along to the song on the radio as they drove through the Rocky Mountains. She recalls that she tried many ways to rid herself of the memories of that failed romance, only to have them come rushing back in an instant when she hears a song attached to a moment in their time together: ::''After driving out the memory of the way things might have been'' ::''After I'd forgotten all about us'' ::''The song remembers when'' As the song progresses, the woman reveals that, although she can't remember why the relationship failed, the song can. In the end, it becomes a powerful statement that any forgotten memory can be brought back to life for anyone in the world through the power of music. ::''Still, I guess some things we bury are just bound to rise again'' ::''For even if the whole world has forgotten'' ::''The song remembers when'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Song Remembers When (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
