How You Remind Me

"How You Remind Me" is a song by Canadian rock band Nickelback, released in July 2001 as the lead single from their album Silver Side Up. A "Gold Mix" was made for latter editions of the single with the heavier guitars edited out of the chorus. This single would be the last rock single to be #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 until 2008 when "Viva la Vida" by alternative rock band Coldplay did the same. Lead vocalist and guitarist Chad Kroeger wrote the song about his old girlfriend Jodi, with whom he had a dysfunctional relationship. He refers to this song as the song that put Nickelback on the map as referred to their concert in Sturgis. It is often considered to be their signature song.

"How You Remind Me" was named the #1 most played song on U.S. radio of the 2000 decade by Nielsen Soundscan, being spun over 1.2 million times on U.S. airwaves since its release in 2001 to the end of 2009. The song was named 4th on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade and 75th in the UK decade Chart. It was nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single.

Famous quotes containing the words remind me and/or remind:

    You remind me of a child-friend who once wrote to tell me about her sister being married. “Now I will tell you all about Bessie’s wedding.” Then came a long account of bridesmaids, and breakfast, and everything else, except the name of the bride-groom! That of course didn’t matter: the great thing was to get married somehow.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    We all ask ourselves the question why is it that some of us are killed while others remain. The only answer is our faith in the wisdom of a supreme being. If he has chosen us to live there must be a reason. I have tried to reckon out why. Perhaps he has saved us because we are needed as witnesses to remind each other, and our folks, and folks everywhere that war is too full of horrors for human beings.
    —Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Dickerman (Jack Webb)
