Alan Jackson - Remember When (2003)

[G@bing$20n]

Released on October 27th, 2003, Remember When details the story of Alan's marriage, the highs and lows they've gone through and how, despite the passage of time and the two of them growing ever older, their love remains as strong as ever. All this over some of the most gorgeous instrumentation of any hit song from this century. The song peaked at #1 on the Country Charts and #29 on the Hot 100 in February of 2004, and wound up at #82 on the Year-End list for that year. I'm considering participating in the 2004 Year-End Rankdown Re-Do that is scheduled for next month, and if I do, rest assured that this will be very high on my list. It is also strikingly similar in theme to the famous montage scene from Pixar's Up, released five and a half years after the song, to the point where there are a number of YouTube videos pairing the song with the movie scene (here's the best one IMO).
