[@FrethKindheart]

For those of us who were young adults graduating high school, Skid Row's songs represented who we were so perfectly. This song, I Remember You, there isn't a human on the planet who can't identify with this. Lost love. Sebastian sang it with such feeling that it captivated broken hearts of our generation (mine included) and gave us a way to work through the pain. To this day, the song is so sentimental to me, because of what it meant to me then, and still means to me now.

[@brianginn6075]

We remember the song but can’t remember the girls name

[@sebastienlavoie9334]

I agree totally, Skid Row came out when i was at my last year of High School and that song was a huge hit, well, the whole album was a hit that year, with Dr. Feelgood of Motley Crue, Pump by Aerosmith, The Cult with Sonic Temple and also Metallica were still riding on And Justice For All. 1989-1990 was a fantastic last high school year for me.

This song was hot back in my high-school days. The meaning is different now that I'm older. I can relate to how the guy walking through town might be longing for days gone by and relationships that are no more. Like life has taken him one way and others a different way. Realizing that certain parts of life are over is painful.

She many not have realized it herself, but around the 50 second mark Lex subconsciously knew that she needed a lighter to hold in the air.

[@JMulvy]

The homeless guy in the video was mourning for so long it destroyed his life, at the end he is finally able to let her go because hearing the band he realized he forgot about all the great memories they made together and the quality of the love they had. Not everyone in a relationship can say they had both, or even one.

[@jamesyoung7560]

I always had the feeling that he went to prison or something else happened and while he was away she moved on because if his loss was to her death I don't think he'd burn the pictures. I agree with you 100% that the end leads to him finally letting go.

[@JMulvy]

@@jamesyoung7560 possibly. The most we can say for certain is that he is no longer with her and he has obsessed over her to the point where he allowed it to ruin his life but at the end of the video he finds the will to move on by letting her go.

I always felt like he was finally letting go of his grief for her. Love this song brings back lots of memories

for my wife and I...this is 'our' song! we met (and started going out) not long after I saw these guys in their hey day in 1989 (amazing show, btw), and this one still makes us look at each other and smile. we've been together since June 1990, we have two adult kids now, and are still very much in love - and this song will always hold a special place for both of us. 🙂

[@oychoppa]

This song still touches the feelings. My first love and I were dating when this song came out. It was a great song then, but means more now. She passed away a few years after we broke up, but I still remember her…

[@lastboyscout73]

[@kellyanderson7624]

Sebastian Bach is one of the best rock singers. He has range for days. And the song is about his wife who died. Sleepless nights, every endless day meaning the days and nights were long without her. He remembers everything about when she was alive. He's letting go of the pain of losing her that's why he's getting rid of the pictures, but he will always remember her and all the memories they had.

[@angelicajoy1]

His wife didn’t die. lol. First of all.. they put this song out in 1989 when he was 21. He met his wife and married her a year later in 1992. They were married 18 years.. had kids and divorced in 2010. 🤦🏻‍♀️ The guitarist wrote the lyrics to this song.. they are about ANYONE who’s lost a love whether thru a breakup or death.

[@ps5392]

Loved this song since it came out and I’ve never thought it was suggesting that his love had died but that she was simply his one true love that got away. They’ve both moved on but he has always carried a flame in his heart for her. Now years later, he has moved on and part of his moving on is getting rid of all the physical reminders of her. But none of his actions will ever be able to strip away his memories of her and their time together. He will never be free of her memory even as he tries desperately to be.

[@johnboehmer6683]

Technical excellence, soaring, extremely emotive vocals, beautiful melody and flow, gutwrenching lyrics... Put it all together, and you have easily one of the greatest songs ever made. The emotion and power it evokes are indescribable, though I gave it my best shot. The story told through the video very effectively captures the power of the song also. Not often it can be said that a video to a song works so effectively, cohesively with the song.

[@edwinanglin4490]

You guys are great...Lex is a true rocker in my books.

[@adamfanalways]

I recommend Wasted Time, Sebastian Bach sings the hell out of this song 🎶 its about Steve Adler of Guns & Roses because he was killing himself with heroine! It’s my favorite song from Skid Row!

[@blgeiger71]

Skid Row has been a favorite of mine since hearing their self-titled debut album and the “Youth Gone Wild” video on MTV. They came to town as the opening act for Bon Jovi during their “Slippery When Wet” tour, my band mates and I met Sebastian Bach and Rachel Bolan (bass/lyrics) downtown the afternoon before the show after they did an interview at our local rock radio station. They both were very approachable and super cool dudes to meet! Many years later when I was based in Cleveland, OH flying for a regional airline, I was surprised to see the band (with the singer who replaced Sebastian after their falling out and his departure from the band) step out onto the ramp to board our plane for a flight over to South Bend, IN where they had a gig that night. Very cool memories for me on this one, thanks for reacting to it.
