The opening track of Peter Murphy’s album made with Turkish-Canadian composer and producer Mercan Dede, which largely set aside rock for traditional Turkish instrumentation and eclectic influences. A musicOMH reviewer wrote that from the first moments of this track it was clear Murphy had done more than just move to Turkey.

Peter Murphy – Things To Remember Lyrics
Thing to Remember when writing figures of speech and sound
The Power of poetry comes from the ability to defy logic
Defy logic often
Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky
Tell us that your lover is the sky
When you do that
We won’t believe you
We won’t believe you
Because saying so makes no sense
But we’ll see a meaning
We’ll see a meaning
The other thing is the ability to be remembered
Love anything
Love anything
Wasted
I cut myself down
Cut myself down
Wasted
Now, Breaking free
Breaking free
It’s no longer me
Understand where you come from
Floating
I’m facing me down
Prostrate to the ground
Understand
Prostrate to the ground
Mystery
Rain down on my life
Down on my life
Maybe there is nothing to say
Breathing
The future is gone
The strain of the past
The future is gone
The strain of the past
Sometimes nothing often means
The beauty of the human experience
Healing
Rain down on my life
Down on my life
Wasted
Now, breaking free
Breaking free
It’s no longer me
Love anything
Love anything
Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky
Love anything
Floating
I’m facing me down
Prostrate to the ground
Mystery
Rain down on my life
Down on my life
Love anything
Love anything
Love anything
Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky
Sometimes
Sometimes nothing often means
The beauty of the human experience
These things are to be remembered
To be remembered
