"Remember (Walking in the Sand)" is a song written by Shadow Morton.

The genesis of the song is the stuff of rock and roll legend. George Morton was looking to break into the music business in some capacity, and went to the Brill Building in New York City to see an old girlfriend, Ellie Greenwich, who was a successful pop songwriter. Morton and Greenwich's writing partner, Jeff Barry, took an instant dislike to one another. Pointedly asked what he did for a living, Morton casually replied, "I write songs" (although he had never written one in his life). When Barry asked him what kind, Morton retorted, "Hit songs!" Looking to call the upstart's bluff, Barry said he would love to hear one of George's tunes, and invited him to come back the following week with something.

His honor at stake, Morton sat in his car and wrote the first thing that came to him..."Remember (Walking in the Sand)". He then hired a local teenaged girl group from Queens that he knew, the Shangri-Las, to sing on the demo, which Morton produced himself. According to some accounts, the original version of the song was nearly seven minutes long...about three times the length of the average Top 40 hit in 1964. Barry was impressed with what Morton had accomplished, as were executives at Red Bird Records; the label not only picked up the song for release, but also signed Morton and the Shangri-Las to contracts.

In order to fit the rigid AM radio format of the day, the song had to be cut drastically in length. Rather than slice it up and edit it in pieces, Morton simply faded it out after the 2:10 mark.

In 1964, the song was released as the debut single on Red Bird Records by girl group The Shangri-Las. It proved very successful for them, becoming a top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as a top twenty hit on the UK Singles Chart. It became more successful in the UK when reissued on several occasions in the 1970s. Billy Joel, an unknown working as a session musician at the time, played piano on the original demo recording of the song...and has playfully badgered Morton for years, claiming that the producer failed to pay him his $67.00 union scale fee for the performance.

The Shangri-Las' recording placed #396 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list in 2004.

"Remember" is Fayray's 11th single. It was released on February 20, 2002 and peaked at #52. It was used as the image song for the TV program "20th Anniversary 2002 Yokohama Kokusai Shoujo Ekiden". The coupling is a cover of Daryl Hall & John Oates's "Private Eyes".

"Remember" is a 1970 song appearing on John Lennon's first official solo album release, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.

The song was influenced by Lennon's Primal Therapy sessions with Dr. Arthur Janov, and the lyrics reflect things typically remembered in therapy. The memories described are unpleasant ones, of conflict with family, authority and peers. Lennon employs his wit, mentioning how "the hero was never hung, always got away", and parents "wishin' for movie stardom, always playin' a part," instead of being honest and open.

At the end of the song, Lennon sings an excerpt from the poem Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, then an explosion is heard. This is a reference to Guy Fawkes Night, a holiday in Britain celebrated with fireworks.

Remember is a single by the rock band Disturbed. The song reached #6 on the US Mainstream Rock Chart and #22 on the US Modern Rock Chart. The music video consisted of footage from one of their concerts, similar to the videos for Liberate and Down With The Sickness. In 2007, a new video was released that shows the band in a room playing in front of a T.V. that shows people wearing masks referring to "Hide behind the mask this time".
