tribute to families facing the challenges of Alzheimer's Disease.
I Will Remind You
by Brian Asselin & Eric Disero
I see you staring out your window
Searching for your past
A lifetime full of memories
Slipping through your grasp
You see those pictures on the mantel
Tell the story of your life
A glimpse into your history
Of days long passed by
When the photos start to fade
When the memories slip away Its a struggle everyday
I will remind you
When you look at me and say
You see a face without a name Perfect strangers in the
frames I will remind you
You see that picture taken long ago
Of a boy whose three
Blowinʼ out his candles
Sittinʼ on your knee
Now that child is all grown up now
Yes that boy is me
Iʼm standing right beside you
Where I want to be
When the photos start to fade
When the memories slip away
Its a struggle everyday
I will remind you
When you look at me and say
You see a face without a name
Perfect strangers in the frames
I will remind you
I will always be there to hold your hand
Like youʼve always been for me
And together we can beat this in the end
ʻCause I can be your memory
Even when the darkest clouds pass by
Youʼll always find theres hope
Eventually the sun breaks through
To form a rainbow
Everyday weʼll make new memories
And add them to this shelve
Always to remind you
Youʼre never by yourself
When the photos start to fade
When the memories slip away
Its a struggle everyday
I will remind you
When you look at me and say
You see a face without a name
Perfect strangers in the frames
I will remind you
When the photos start to fade
When the memories slip away
Its a struggle everyday
I will remind you
When you look at me and say
You see a face without a name
Perfect strangers in the frames
I will remind you
By performing the
song, Brian Asselin is helping to raise funds to fight Alzheimer’s Disease:
“When Alzheimer’s disease struck our family in 2005, I wanted to try and find a
way to aid in the fight of this disabling disease. Unfortunately, I cannot
afford to donate money but being a musician and composer, it seemed ideal to
write a song. With the aid of my friend Eric Disero, we were able to release
the song on February 2, 2012. I am donating half of all proceeds from the song
to the Alzheimer Society of Canada to help fund research.
About the Author
(Self-Bio)
It seems like my musical career leads two separate lives. On one side, I am a songwriter influenced by James Taylor, Bon Jovi, Bruno Mars, Michael Buble and so many others. I find a lot of inspiration for my songwriting while watching the world around me. For most of my songwriting career, I have been collaborating with a very good friend of mine and fellow musician, Eric Disero. Our youtube channel has reached over 830,000 views and is quickly growing everyday.
On the other side, I am a jazz saxophonist with over 15 years experience touring and/or recording with such artists as The Legendary Funk Brothers, Mary Wilson (The Supremes), The Temptations, Delbert & The Commotions, The JW-Jones Blues Band, The Jivewires, Impressions in Jazz Orchestra, The Holly Larocque and Mark Ferguson Big Band, Kelly Craig Sextet, Groovebug, and Organix.
Recently I have started another project with a fantastic singer, Delbert Nelson, from Detroit who I met while we were both touring with the Legendary Funk Brothers. Together we have written, along with two other writers, 10 tracks which we are very excited to announce will be available before 2013. The band is called Delbert & The Commotions.
