Darryl Worley Celebrates 20 Years With "Have We Forgotten" Remake

Just in time for Independence Day and the song's 20th anniversary, Darryl Worley has released "Have We Forgotten," a remake of his 2003 hit, "Have You Forgotten?" This updated version reunites Worley with co-writer Wynn Varble, showcasing a fresh perspective through a first-person narrative. The shift from the original's second-person point of view to a collective "we" emphasizes the unity and shared experiences of Americans today.

In this new rendition, specific references to war, the Pentagon, and Osama Bin Laden have been replaced with themes of togetherness and healing. Worley captures the current political climate with his lyrics, singing, “Red states and blue states, left versus right / Seems like all we ever do is fuss and fight / I ain't pointing fingers, hell I'm guilty too / But how much more of this can we go through?” This powerful expression invites listeners to reflect on the divisions that have arisen in recent years.

Lyrically, "Have We Forgotten" encourages an introspection about the past and urges Americans to unite amidst the ongoing challenges. Worley poignantly questions our collective identity and the need for reconciliation, reminding us that the essence of America lies in our ability to come together, even when we disagree. As he reflects on the turmoil over the last two decades, he implores us to consider our shared history and the values that bind us as a nation.
