Eylsia Nicolas "I Remember" turns survival into song

Eylsia Nicolas's "I Remember" is a deeply human work of art that feels more like a lived journey set to music than a single. The song is an emotional companion to her newly finished biography, which she will release this holiday season along with her high-end line Nicolas of Palm Beach, Real Boxer, and her Christmas release. But "I Remember" is a revelation all on its own.

The song is about a life that has had both wonderful highs and terrible lows. Eylsia's early life sounds like a story about a prodigy, she picked up a tennis racket at age nine, won her first international tournament at age ten, and won the Irish Open at age fourteen. But after this early success, there was a silence that could swallow even the most talented people. When an injury ended her chances of going to Wimbledon and the US Open, she had to confront the loneliness that comes when the applause stops.

That silence didn't break her, but it changed her. As a first-generation Irish-Filipina fighter, she had to start over in the high-pressure world of Hollywood's business and entertainment. "I Remember" is her way of reminding the world, and herself, that cheers don't last long, friendships are weak, and kindness is important. It's a song about grace, thankfulness, and getting back up.
