There is not really a story behind this song. I just wrote it. But there is a little story ABOUT the song:
I used to have a my space page. I set up the page, posted some songs on it, one of which was "Remember." Then I forgot all about the page, didn't check it for like two years. When I checked it after all that time, it was only because I had decided to cancel the account. (simplifying my life, that whole deal) So I logged in and saw to my extreme surprise and pleasure that Jimmy Buffett was a fan of the song. THE Jimmy Buffett! As in, "wasting away again in Margaritaville" Jimmy Buffett! I've never been a big Parrothead, but even so, it's an honor to have him as a fan.
What did I do? Like a fool, I deleted my account, without thinking about what I was doing, which was losing my connection with Jimmy Buffett. I tried to get my account back so that I could get Jimmy back, but it didn't work. So I sent Mr. Buffett a letter on his my space page, all apologetic and obsequious, like oh Mr Buffett I know you don't know who I am but you are fan of my song "Remember" and you wanted to be a my space friend but I deleted my page, blah blah blah.
Needless to say I never heard from Mr Buffett. But I can say honestly that he liked one of my songs.
