"Remember a Day" is a song by British psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd, and is featured on their second album, A Saucerful of Secrets (1968). The song, written and sung by Richard Wright, was recorded in October 1967 at De Lane Lea Studios in London, England. The sessions also yielded "Jugband Blues", "Vegetable Man", "In the Beechwoods" and "John Latham".
It was performed live only once, in September 2008 (40 years after its original release) by David Gilmour in memory of Wright.
Syd Barrett plays the slide guitar. Andrew King, Pink Floyd manager, recalls: "I remember De Lane Lea... we did 'Vegetable Man' there... and 'Remember a Day', which Syd does a guitar solo on". Lyrics :
Remember a day before today
A day when you were young.
Free to play alone with time
Evening never came.
Sing a song that can't be sung
Without the morning's kiss
Queen - you shall be it if you wish
Look for your king
Why can't we play today
Why can't we stay that way
Climb your favorite apple tree
Try to catch the sun
Hide from your little brother's gun
Dream yourself away
Why can't we reach the sun
Why can't we blow the years away
Blow away
Blow away
Remember
Remember

This song captures a feeling I have never come across in another.

Beautiful song, production not great even by '68 standards though. Hurricane Smith nowhere near as good a producer as Joe Boyd or the Floyd themselves.
