“Should God Forget” by The Psychedelic Furs

"Should God Forget" was one of just two singles the Psychedelic Furs pulled from Book of Days, their sixth album, which Columbia released in October 1989, and it climbed to No. 8 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. Richard Butler wrote the words, while the music and the arrangement are credited to the band as a whole. David M. Allen co-produced with the Furs, Roy Spong engineered and Anne-Marie Doyle assisted.

The album brought original member Vince Ely back into the fold, and the critics heard a harder band. The St. Petersburg Times caught the Furs going downright metallic, all hard-rock riffs and churning arrangements, and the Toronto Star heard a raw, anxious urgency back in Butler's gloomy voice. Not everyone was sold: the Spin Alternative Record Guide blamed Allen's muddy mix.
