About people and the places I used to go to
It's hard to believe that they're all gone
It's still the same ole town but with different faces
While the present's here, the past keeps coming back
In the way that it's hard to show
Well when the wind blows it takes me back into time
I get the sensation that you are still mine
From another directions it gives a different sign
You can feel it if only for a while
Can you feel it? Remembrance Wind
Well if you truly believe there's something here for you
Then you truly believe that nothing will stop you
Go anywhere that God intended you to
Just be yourself, you'll make it through
Well when the wind blows it takes me back into time
I get the sensation that you are still mine
From another direction it gives a different sign
You can feel it if only for a while
Can you feel it?

Hard to believe this came out 20 years ago, the album that is. The last album that Brian Mullahan co produced with me, I tend to look at this album to be one of the best that I put out. We were on a roll, after 2001's There' Nothing Left, I wanted to have a more power pop sound than the experiments that were used on the 1999 Land Of Abandonment and There's Nothing Left. It was quickly recorded, with Jack Orbit helping with the arrangements and Geoff n Mark McClelland adding their two cents worth.
Remembrance Wind was about time and memories slipping away and nostalgic feelings for a town no longer around. John Maier got credited for the term Remembrance Wind. One of those rare songs that didn't need drums.
Chords: for starters, it's D but the forth string is open for accents
Verse D G D
forth line G,E,D
Chorus: A,G,D
Can you feel it line: G strum 7 times back into D
To lively things up. between the repeated chorus
G,C,D (3)
A,G,D
It's better suited for a bluegrass type of number, but on this song there are no drums.
