I Remember My Name

The Squid Game soundtrack is one of the most unique and captivating I’ve ever come across. Every track feels so intentional, adding to the tension, mystery, and emotional weight of the story. Among all the amazing pieces, "I Remember My Name" really resonated with me on a personal level. It’s one of those pieces where, as soon as I heard it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I knew I had to sit down, figure it out by ear, and learn to play it.

What makes this piece so memorable is its simplicity. The melody is understated yet so effective—it doesn’t try to overwhelm you, but instead it pulls you in quietly, letting you feel its depth. There’s an elegance to how stripped back it is, leaving room for reflection and emotion.

One thing that really caught my attention was the 5/4 time signature. It’s such a subtle but brilliant touch. It gives the piece an unconventional rhythm that keeps it feeling fresh and slightly off-balance, which, to me, fits the world of Squid Game perfectly. That asymmetry adds to the sense of unease but also makes the track stand out musically.

With season two of Squid Game just around the corner, I couldn’t think of a better time to release this arrangement. Playing this piece felt like a way to connect with the show on a deeper level and pay tribute to its incredible music. It’s not just about recreating the sound; it’s about celebrating how music like this can stick with you long after you watch the show.
