"I Still Remember" came off A Weekend in the City, Bloc Party's second album, in 2007, doing duty as the record's first single in America and its second in Britain. Jacknife Lee produced it and Cenzo Townshend mixed it, and the four who wrote it, Kele Okereke, Russell Lissack, Gordon Moakes and Matt Tong, let it glide rather than lunge: chiming guitars, a patient beat, a chorus that aches instead of shouting.
The video, made by Aggressive, first aired on MTV2 in January 2007, and the UK release came on two 7-inch singles and a CD, backed with songs including "Atonement" and "Selfish Son". In America it climbed to 24 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks, higher than any Bloc Party single had gone there.
