Lyrics

Find me staring off a bridge
Perching on the edge like I can float away
But in this moment I can see
The impermanence of everything
No one will care what we do
In time no one will remember us
This body soon will break down
So why don't we drink til we've had enough
Find me underneath the lights
Dancing through the night until our time is up
My mind clear as it can be,
No need for you to comfort me
At all

Content

Embody feat. FEiN (3), a Walton/Woodward topline on Embody (Karolis Labanauskas)'s single Remember Us (Extended Mix) (June 16, 2016). Apple Music credits: L.F. Walton composer, Brandon Michael Woodward songwriter/lyrics, K. Labanauskas composer. Official video. Remember Us [Re-Edit] (April 23, 2021, The Bearded Man): Apple Music credits lists Luke Francis Walton and Brandon Michael Woodward as vocals, plus composition credits for Walton, Woodward, and Labanauskas; K. Labanauskas producer.

Released sixteen days after Little Homes (May 31, 2016), same FEiN summer: concept LP at Tiny Giant, then a deep-house feature on Armada Deep. Radio: Don Diablo — Hexagon Radio Episode 045 (Dec 9, 2015 SoundCloud upload) opens with Embody – Remember Us (feat. FEiN) as track 1 — episode description claims broadcast in 35+ countries, plus Evolution on iHeart Radio (USA), Fun Radio (France), and SLAM FM (Netherlands). Pre-release radio support ahead of the Jun 16, 2016 Armada Deep single. See With Embody (Karolis Labanauskas).

What FEiN brought to the slot is the move the song turns on: the bridge image isn't a jump, it's the clarity from the ledge. No one will remember us is not a nihilist toast but the memento mori that buys the dance floor. The second verse refuses comfort (no need for you to comfort me / at all) and exits on at all, no chorus return. Topline as philosophy, not hook factory.
