Story Behind The Song
Me at my most Philosophical. Is it that we forget to remember, or that we remember to forget? And for that matter, what IS it we really need to remember...to remember? To remember to forget?
Song Description
"Forget..." starts with a meditative piano passage which soon dissolves into a dreamy/funky groove using world-music flavors and thoughtful, layered vocals in the style of Brian Wilson's "Surf's Up".

Lyrics
Forget To Remember
forget to remember
remember to forget
forget to remember
the center of your secret
forget to remember
that in the end
you are as you dream
through my eyes
seen and unseen
seeming foolish, wise
paradox
imperfect paradise
hypnotized
?who are we?
past the veil, seeking color
finding only white
despite
the sight of blindness
dark turns light
as dreaming turns into life
forget to remember
remember to forget
forget to remember
turn a no into a yes
forget to remember
that in the end
you take what you give
I am that thou art that all this is that
forget to remember
remember to forget
forget to remember
the secret of the secret
forget to remember
remember to forget
forget to remember
no secret to the secret
forget to remember
that in the end
you?re loved as you love
