THE IMPORTANCE of remembering a loved one who has passed away or who has no way of communicating with him at that time, is the essence of the message contained in the song by piano producer Soa Matrix, which says I remember.
Talking about this song that came out last month, featuring Bassie and Khathapillar, Soa Matrix said that its purpose is to highlight the beauty of loving the people you are close to and having good times with them if you have the chance.
“It contains a message that I have addressed to people who will listen to it so that they can remember the good times they had with their loved ones who are no longer in the world or are not close to them due to various reasons.
“Many people are suffering silently, so that sometimes life puts us in situations where we want to vent to certain people but they are no longer around us. So with this song I highlight all that it is important to always remember such people in our lives,” he said.
He went on to say that as June continues, which is also known as the month to raise awareness of mental illnesses affecting men, he encourages them not to die in the middle of the different conditions that afflict them.
“Sometimes just talking about what’s bothering you helps you feel better, so everyone needs to find someone they trust to talk to about what’s bothering them and treating them badly,” said Soa Matrix.
“I believe that we all need music like this that will encourage us to talk about the situations that are bothering us emotionally, and that will remind us that being sad about a certain situation is not a crime, but it is part of life and life itself,” he said.
Soa Mattrix hails from Diepkloof, Soweto, and her birth name is Mandla Mashakeni.
