"Starting to Remember" is a song by Duran Duran, released on the album Pop Trash by Hollywood Records on 19 June 2000.
About the song[]
The song was co-produced by Warren Cuccurullo and Nick Rhodes' TV Mania, which was a departure from previous album material where production was always credited to Duran Duran plus any outside producers. This reflected Simon Le Bon's decreasing involvement in the songwriting, recording, and mixing process at the time.
The composition features an unusual time signature and a somewhat Beatlesque feel, with introspective lyrics written by Nick Rhodes. The track is a great example of the increased maturity and experimentality of the band's writing over the period of the Medazzaland and Pop Trash albums.
The song was also released as the B-side on the single "Someone Else Not Me" in the stripped down form of an acoustic ballad, showing how Duran Duran have diversified their music since the early days of 1980-81.

Lyrics[]
How to begin do I shed a skin? Now that I am starting to remember It takes a while But you find a way to open up the door Let demons walk Now that I am starting to remember Can't change my world I was happy ever after Was it only yesterday? That I bought the dream? But I don't sleep no more Counting the hours 'Til the dawn Now that I am starting to remember How to love How to learn draw like a child Run for miles and miles Now that I am starting to remember Who I am Another lonely night ahead for me now Buried in the darkening day That lingers on And drags me down But you've got to believe Time will heal.
