THE GOA THAT I USED TO KNOW
Released by Face the Music, 2018
Remo says: “In 2014, I finally did something I never thought I’d do – I moved out of my beloved Goa. To a place where I rediscovered the essence of the Goa that I grew up in. No, not the grandiose stuff; just simple things like cleanliness, honesty, discipline, respect for nature, and such. To me, the basic necessities of life.
It took me 3 years to realise that my love for Goa wasn’t extinct; it’s just that the Goa I once loved was. And that was alright, cause many of the things and people I loved didn’t exist anymore either; like my parents. But even if I couldn’t be with them, I could still love them across Time.”
