I don’t really remember.

The “things I don’t remember” indicated by the title are last night’s events and melodies that came to mind.

I don’t remember those very well, but I will never forget how my now-aging parents looked when they were young, and how they supported me throughout my childhood.

It’s a song that brings me to tears when I think of my own parents.
