Description No-one has failed to be touched by the recent events in Asia.
I wrote this song for those survivors left with nothing.
I am very grateful to Alimar for adding his considerable talents not only on vocals but for producing the whole track.

Lyrics MEMORY by Slim Girl Fat:

And as the night is passing by:
I cannot see the dream:
Its faded out of sight:

And I was holding on to you :
But felt you slip away:
I could not hold you tight:

And in my memory I'll see your smiling eyes:
You'll never cry the tears I do or see the hurt inside of me:

And we never knew that time:
Was shorter than we knew:
There was no warning sign:

Although I'm searching here for you:
I cannot see the way:
I dare not face the truth:

And in my memory I'll see your smiling eyes:
You'll never cry the tears I do or see the hurt inside of me:

A thousand times a thousand times
My heart will break into a shattered melody:
For all I loved and held so dear:
Is wrapped inside a memory:

And as the night is passing by:
I cannot see the dream:
It's faded out of sight:

And in my memory Ill see your smiling eyes:
You'll never cry the tears I do or see the hurt inside of me:

	The right song for the right time Wonderful arrangement, I was moved. With the world in shock with the most recent tragedy, it is a wonder if anyone can find relief. This piece for me puts it into perspective. Great job you two! Thank you for a wonderful and moving piece.

	Tom Atwood said 1465 days ago
	Perfect Thanks for this

	great collaberation You guys put togeather a fantastic song. It's great all around but, Slim, the way you sing it is what I love the most. You have such a distingctive sound. Alimar's vocals are very complimentary to it. Really great job. I hope to take you up on the collaberation offer sometime.

	Joanna said 1465 days ago
	Beatiful and evocative Both of you did a wonderful job with this haunting piece. Brava and bravo.

	deputydoofy said 1465 days ago
	Very nice. SGF and Big A - a great combo. Extremely good song!!

Had me up and down...
I really wanted this song to get bigger and richer by the
second verse. It seemed to stay in this small area that
doesn't step outside its boundaries. Then again,
considering its subject matter, maybe it shouldn't have,
but I'm trying to keep its sentiment at bay to objectively
critique the song.

That said, this is another one of your stronger vocal
performances. There's definitely a chemistry between your
voice and Alimar's, blending seamlessly together for the
second time! Do I hear a virtual band forming?

	Iseae said 1465 days ago
	Goosebumps I loved the harmonies! It gave me goosebumps! I agree with Pack-O-Smokes, the soung could use some fleshing out to make a bigger sound.

	macapa said 1465 days ago
	Very touching The lyrics are well written and the whole song is very sober (which is a very good thing). Very well done.

	Jim Bouchard said 1465 days ago
	so moving ...I don't know what to write. The personal perspective is gripping, and the softness of the music is the perfect compliment for the vocal. This is very, very good, incredibly sad, but good. I could see were it could easily get overblown, so I really appreciate the restraint in the production.

Dreamy, watery, fratcure, tragic...
Alimar's harmonies are thrilling, embracing and warm,
great notes sung in just the right way and such a
compelling sound created by the mix, they really complete
this tune. Like adding mutli-dimensions. (Altho they are
a tad too loud in my headphones compared to the music
bed.) The backing rhythms have this dreaming, watery,
fractured feel that is chilling and moving; and the synth
has a perfect progressive floating aspect, with the attack
giving it an ethnic feel with just the right touch. Slimmie,
you did a fantastic job giving this song just the right feel.
Could've trailed on forever. Timely and moving.

	said 1465 days ago
	Poignant... A sense of listening to something sacred. Beautifully sung by the both of you. You have touchingly captured and expressed something of this tragedy with your music that honors those who have perished as well as those who remain. Thank you for this moment. Jack

	Mcboy said 1464 days ago

	Mcboy said 1464 days ago
	great.. that was supposed to be A plus plus plus but the plus sign did'nt show in my prevoius comment...hehhhehh --- I live for music.......

	Nolan said 1464 days ago
	Tragic... ...not the song, though. Well done, dudes. The backing is simple and spot-on. I can't imagine what these people are going through -particularly the ones who had someone they loved literally torn out of their grasp forever- but I think your lyrics give insight. "And in my memory I'll see your smiling eyes: You'll never cry the tears I do or see the hurt inside of me" - moving.

	Stun Nutz said 1463 days ago
	Well done, guys... The music reminded me a little of "Take Me Home" by Genesis...or was that Phil by himself? Oh well. I think Slim's singing and the meaning behind the lyrics elevates this song beyond that one, however. I like how the dripping synth tones in the background evoke flowing water. It could use some subtle warm strings in there - just a suggestion. Nice song.

	listen said 1463 days ago
	wonderful... Your voices sound perfect together, Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel... Don't give up. Very appropriate.

	Bob Ancona said 1463 days ago
	Awesome! Add me to the list of fans.

	OhEsTen said 1463 days ago

	alanfraser said 1462 days ago
	9-10-9-9 Absolutely gorgeous!

	Mystified said 1462 days ago
	Thank you ...for such beautiful, sensitive music.

	Cameron said 1461 days ago
	capturing a tragic time This is a very moving song with lovely, poignant harmonies. Great job, Slimmie and Alimar! I like the accompaniment also; it's quite imaginative. It's low-key, rather understated -- perfect for the serious subject matter. It captures that "aftermath" time, digging out from under this disaster.

	Truth42 said 1461 days ago
	Really Nice Your best one yet! Keep it up!

	said 1460 days ago
	Moment of silence... _... 4 x 10

	ka-klick said 1460 days ago
	If you guys don't submit this to Radio Paradise I will. It's all been said before me, but this song needs to be heard, widely. Excellent.

	bundoo said 1459 days ago
	SO TENDER Thank you for a genuine emotion in OUR language TENDERNESS. A far goal reached at last. Well done

	thetiler said 1458 days ago

	Not Much to Say But Excellent and moving.

	mars said 1457 days ago
	Slimmie... You are great. I hope this song won't stay just here. This song has to fly all over the world to be heard by many people.

said 1457 days ago

Heartfelt expression
This is wonderful. I'm not really inclined to nitpick about
the production. The piece transcends that. Thank you
both for reflecting on this tragic event that has so sorely
affected an untold number of people. The tragedy is
brought home to my safe inland abobe with your wailful
ballad. The song will hopefully evoke responses in those
whose lives and fortunes remain unshattered.

	said 1452 days ago
	In touch and in tune w/your surroundings Superb! I ran out of kleenex!

	crustibooga said 1447 days ago
	Beautiful Quite simply beautiful... Thankyou.

Anonymous said 1416 days ago

Wow this one got me good.
Beautiful are your vocals, but you already know that. I
also commend the harmonizations. I think that the male
vocalist could stand to come up in level a bit, but then I
have always been a sucker for the third of the chord......I
just love the way it feels........so perhaps you may think it
fine the way it is.

Great justice you have supplied to such a sensitive topic
as the Tragedy in Asia. I was particulary touched by the
lines "You'll never cry the tears I do or see the hurt inside
of me". That is the way I feel sometimes.........and it just
goes to show you that we are all capable of hurting one
another in ways that we may even know.

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful Song. Great Vocals.

	Great Song! I don't understand how anyone could rate this anything but 10s all 'round. Great writing, great production, and cool lyrics.

	perceptualvortex said 1272 days ago
	Just found this. Wow... sad and beautiful. Amazing job guys.

	MissChaos said 992 days ago
	Where on earth was I when you posted this?! I heard it on your SL concert and just about dropped my jaw. GASP I need to discuss this with you further. :-)

	moorlandt said 877 days ago
	wow This is pure magic... Every little sound in it is so well balanced. Pure emotion. Thanks Al, for pointing me to this song in my 'Duets' thread

	j2morrow said 826 days ago
	Awesome song Beautiful song, wonderful vocal and production. Haunting lyrics.

	Karmatoburn said 655 days ago
	dl'd and saved You guys did a phenom job on this. Phil Collins meets Traci Thorn. The lyrics, Vocal, music are all ridiculously good. Almost soundtrack epic but with lots of heart in plain and simple words. It works and I'm really diggin it. My fav slimmie track. wow

	pengui said 302 days ago
	Nice voice I really enjoyed the harmonies on this one. Soothing, perhaps too soothing...I'm feeling a little sleepy :) Very nice.
