Remember Me (Hinder song)
"Remember Me" is a power ballad by the American rock band Hinder, released in 2007 as the fourth and final single from their debut album, Extreme Behavior. The song explores themes of heartbreak, regret, and the longing to be remembered by a former lover.
Musically, "Remember Me" deviates slightly from the band's more hard rock-oriented sound found elsewhere on the Extreme Behavior album, showcasing a softer and more melodic approach. The song features acoustic guitars, piano, and a more restrained vocal performance from lead singer Austin Winkler.
Lyrically, the song depicts the perspective of someone who has lost a relationship and is grappling with the fear of being forgotten. The chorus, "Remember me for all the times we had / Remember me, don't make me feel so bad," encapsulates the central plea of the song. The lyrics also touch upon themes of past mistakes and the desire for reconciliation, even if only in memory.
"Remember Me" achieved moderate success on the Billboard charts, reaching the top 10 of the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. While not as commercially successful as the band's previous singles, "Lips of an Angel" and "Get Stoned," it further demonstrated Hinder's versatility and ability to connect with audiences through emotionally resonant songwriting. The song remains a popular track amongst Hinder fans and is often included in their live performances.
