The band formed in 1979 by Pär Ericsson and Bengt Fischer, two former members of the progressive rock band Epizootic. The "E.F." portion of the band's name was derived from the first letter of Ericcson and Fischer's last names. The band hired drummer Dave Dufort, who had played with Mike Oldfield and Screaming Lord Sutch and thus completed the trio. Dufort left the band before the release of their first full-length album and was replaced by drummer Dag Eliason, thereby making the band an entirely-Swedish trio. John Rich joined as lead vocalist in 1982 and featured on the second album Deep Cut. London based Roger Marsden (ex Deep Machine, Angel Witch) replaced Rich in 1983 and sang on the bands third album one Night Stand. E.F. Band broke up in 1986.

Remember You
E.F. Band Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember you-ooh
You're the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago

I remember you-ooh
You're the one who said "I love you, too"
Yes, I do, didn'tcha know?

I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo

When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I remember you-ooh

I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Just like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo

When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all

Then I will tell them I remember, tell them I remember
Tell them I remember you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for E.F. Band's Remember You are about someone reminiscing about a past love. The first two lines suggest that the person being referenced in the song was the one who made the singer's dreams come true, with just a few kisses. The repetition of "I remember you-ooh" throughout the song emphasizes the depth of the singer's feelings for this person, and the fact that they still remember them so vividly.

The third and fourth lines of the song reference when the person being spoken to said "I love you, too", making it clear that this was truly a mutual love that the singer is still holding onto. There is a slight playfulness to the lyrics with the addition of "didn'tcha know?", adding to the nostalgia and longing expressed throughout the song. The next few lines conjure up memories of stars falling, and suggest that this past relationship was truly divine and greater than anything else in the singer's life.

Finally, the song ends with the singer imagining a conversation with angels when their life is through, with the memory of this love being the stand-out moment. Overall, the song feels wistful but also somewhat resigned, as if the singer knows they will never have this kind of love again, but they are content to hold onto the memory and cherish it forever.

I remember you-ooh
I still remember you

You're the one who made my dreams come true
You're the person who fulfilled my dreams

A few kisses ago
It feels like it was just a few moments ago

You're the one who said 'I love you, too'
You're the person who reciprocated my love

Yes, I do, didn'tcha know?
I still love you, isn't it obvious?

I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
I also remember a faraway sound and the falling stars

Like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo
Just like an unexpected event or occurrence

When my life is through
When my life comes to an end

And the angels ask me to recall
If angels ask me to reminisce

The thrill of it all
About all the exciting moments in my life

Then I will tell them I remember you-ooh
I will tell them that I remember you
