"I Still Remember" is a song by Bloc Party from their second studio album ''A Weekend in the City''. The song is the first US single and second UK single from the album. The single was released in Britain in two 7" formats as well as a CD version. The B-sides are "Atonement", "Cain Said To Abel", "Selfish Son", and "I Still Remember (Music Box And Tears Remix)". A limited edition "I Still Remember" 7" was also given to the first 1000 people who pre-ordered the album from Insound.〔(link )〕 The music video was made by Aggressive and was first shown on 8 January 2007 on MTV2. Upon release, the song reached #24 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart (since renamed Alternative Songs),〔 making it the band's highest charting single in the US, besting the #34 peak of "Banquet" on the same chart in 2005.〔 ==Song inspiration== Frontman Kele Okereke talked about the song at some length in his January 2007 ''The Observer'' interview, responding to questions as to whether the song had an autobiographical nature:
Not really ... I guess, partially. (we call it a gay love story? ) Yeah, but is it a love story? It's one person longing for somebody they can't really have. But it's not consummated. It's not a mutual thing. ... This is probably a contentious issue, but I swear that I could always see (homosexual attraction ) in people, in the way that guys would need to be touching other guys. You could see there was something they couldn't say aloud. And I saw it when I was at school. And I guess "I Still Remember" is an attempt at trying to confront that. ... I know from my own experiences a lot of heterosexual boys had feelings or experiences when they were younger. And that's not really ever spoken about, that un-spoken desire. ... Not two gay boys ... but the idea of two straight boys having an attraction, or there being an attraction that's unspeakable - that was the idea of that song.
