[Verse 1]
In the fabric, In the folds
Lost memories get old
Tiny love left unsaid
Like grains of sand left in my bed
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been trying
Ooh, dancing away the dead gone days
I’ve been flying
Ooh, the moment that I see your face…
[Chorus]
I remember, I remember, I remember goodbye
And the salted rain runing from your eyes
I remember, I remember, I remember the fights
Burning deep into the night
I remember, I remember, I remember your scent
When I just woke up and I’m on your chest
I remember, I remember, I remember the sound
Of your heart racing when you do bad things to me
I wanna feel like it’s the first night
I wanna meet you for the first time
I remember, I remember, I remember your smile
When you face it up and it felt so right
A coincidence or a trap
Special moment or a slap
Tiny love will attack
As it gets bigger behind your back
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been trying
Ooh, dancing away the dead gone days
I’ve been flying
Ooh, the moment that I see your face…
[Chorus]
I remember, I remember, I remember goodbye
And the salted rain running from your eyes
I remember, I remember, I remember the fights
Burning deep into the night
I remember, I remember, I remember your scent
When I just woke up and I’m on your chest
I remember, I remember, I remember the sound
Of your heart racing when you do bad things to me
I wanna feel like it’s the first night
I wanna meet you for the first time
I remember, I remember, I remember your smile
When you face it up and it felt so right
[Chorus]
I remember, I remember, I remember your scent
When I just woke up and I’m on your chest
I remember, I remember, I remember the sound
Of your heart racing when you do bad things to me
I wanna feel like it’s the first night
I wanna meet you for the first time
I remember, I remember, I remember your smile
When you face it up and it felt so right
About
“I Remember” is the title track from AlunaGeoge’s sophomore album. The song was premiered on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 Show in April 2015 and then released as the second single off the record, following the tropical banger “I’m In Control”.
Singer Aluna Francis explained to the show’s host how their collab with Australian producer Flume became a reality. “They all had various random collisions at festivals they were booked to play”, reports Billboard. “Backstage we got chatting about what could do together in the studio,” recalled Francis. “As musicians we can’t resist having a collab.”
“I Remember” wasn’t the only Flume & AlunaGeorge collaboration track released in 2016. The duo was also featured on “Innocence”, one of the standout cuts from Flume’s sophomore project, Skin.

I can get over people, but I can’t forget them. There’s something that gets left behind. If you’re not with that person, you’re fine and then you bump into them and all of a sudden you’re just like, ‘Oh shit.’ All of these memories just come flowing back. So that song encapsulates that feeling you get. You can’t wipe your disk, you’re a human being.
