Forgive And Forget is a placeholder name for an unidentified rock song, originally uploaded to YouTube by Slymukk on 05 July 2008.
The song was first uploaded to YouTube on 05 July 2008 by Slymukk, but the upload contained no additional information or background.
On 23 October 2021, OP returned to YouTube and confirmed that they recorded the song onto cassette tape from a Stockholm radio on 15 April 1980, with P3 being the most likely station. The first line of the song has been cut off.
The updated description included the tape's tracklist, which mostly consisted of bands from the UK, with songs released between 1979 and 1980. Forgive and Forget is suspected to be Swedish in origin, due to the accent.
On 17 August 2024, a full recording of the 15 April 1980 broadcast was found to be stored in the National Library Of Sweden.
On 01 September 2024, someone allegedly listened to the entire radio recording in Sweden and claimed Forgive And Forget was not played. Whether this actually happened has since been disputed, but the song may also have been recorded on a different date or different radio station.
