Bloc Party - I Still Remember

The first single from Bloc Party's A Weekend In The City album was The Prayer, hardly radio friendly with its chunky beats and electronic trickery but making a firm stand nonetheless. I Still Remember is equally affirmative but far more immediate as a single, from the jangly guitar riff through to the uplifting chorus coming across as a song with anthemic aspirations.

This despite (or because of) the lovelorn lyrics, and though Kele regrets that "I should have kissed you" his memories appear to be happy ones. This line is the climax of the tale, culmination of three verses of a love song that does away with the conventional to offer far more meaningful observations. "Our fingers they almost touched", he reminisces in verse one.

A proper story then, and the sort of record radio was made for. The fact you'll be whistling that guitar riff for hours afterwards serves to add further to the appeal.
