“Remember Me” by British Sea Power

"Remember Me" comes off The Decline of British Sea Power, the 2003 debut from the English indie rock band who have since shortened their name to plain Sea Power. It was one of the record's singles along with "The Lonely" and "Carrion", and it is a song the band cut more than once: an older recording had already gone out on its own, and the album take is a different beast.

The writing credit is shared among Yan, Hamilton, Martin Noble and Matthew Wood, with Mads Bjerke recording it. It is a sharp calling card for a group who wore their bookishness openly, right down to a sleeve that paraphrases the closing line of Thornton Wilder's novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey.
