Remember (Irving Berlin song)

"Remember" is a popular song about nostalgia[1] by Irving Berlin, published in 1925.

The song is a popular standard, recorded by numerous artists.

In the lyric, Berlin uses an interesting poetic technique by extending the sound of the word "forgot" into "forget me not" then placing the original word (forgot) and the base form of its opposite (remember) at the end of the next two lines: Remember we found a lonely spot, And after I learned to care a lot, You promised that you'd forget me not, But you forgot To remember.

Three different versions of "Remember" charted between May 1925 and February 1926: Jean Goldkette & His Orchestra featuring Seymour Simons[2] on vocal reached number six,[3] an instrumental recording by Isham Jones & His Orchestra[4] spent a week at number one,[5] and Cliff Edwards got as high as number 10.
