    A title that desperately needed a song to go with it. Medium-tempo acoustic-electric rock song punctuated with funky wah-wah guitar and synthnesized string ensemble.

    Story Behind the Song
    I'm usually the last one to find out what my songs are about. Sometimes I don't realize the meaning in what I've written until years later. This one seems to be about the denial and intense mixture of emotions that comes when a man is in his late 30's to early 40's (what is commonly referred to as mid-life crisis, I suppose). Nevertheless, the lyrics are open to interpretation. For example, who is the "whats-his-name" in the song... is it the singer's former self? A long lost friend? Your guess is as good as mine.

    Lyrics
    I'll Never Forget Whats-His-Name
    Words and Music by Andrew Jackson

    In the prime of my life
    I'm absolutely
    In denial of everything
    I ever thought I knew
    There's a face in the crowd
    Smiles at me sweetly
    Just like someone I'd known before
    When all the world was new

    I will never forget whats-his-name
    He's driving down the highway in an angry wilderness
    He is there in my reflection
    And he's there in your embrace
    And his name is in the embers
    Nearly lost without a trace

    I will never forget whats-his-name
    I will never forget whats-his-name
    I will never forget whats-his-name
    I will never forget what's-his-name

    I am passing in time
    Surface in memory
    I follow in the footsteps
    Of the man who fell from grace
    I am passing my prime
    Lost in a desert
    Where the wind is so hot
    That I'm afraid to show my face

    I will never forget whats-his-name
    He's driving down the highway in an angry wilderness
    He is there in my reflection
    And he's there in your embrace
    And his name is in the embers
    Nearly lost without a trace

    I will never forget whats-his-name
    I will never forget whats-his-name
    I will never forget whats-his-name
    I will never forget whats-his-name
