Bloc Party - I Still Remember

I Still Remember is the second single from A Weekend in the City and a rare break from that album's prevailing left-wing anger and post-OK Computer urban angst. Whereas first single The Prayer was Bloc Party pulling on their skinny t-shirts and natty scarves for a night on the town, I Still Remember is Bloc Party in morning-after-the-night-before mode. It's all wistful and gentle and lovely, rather like So Here We Are from the debut album, but without Matt Tong's urgent drumming. It may help vary the pace on the LP, but it's hardly single material.
