Ferdinand Rennie Breathes New Life into “Someone To Remember Me”

Some songs stay with you, at least for a while longer after playing. For Ferdinand Rennie, “Someone To Remember Me” is one of them, as it gets stuck with you. Originally recorded in 2010, the pop ballad, penned by hitmakers Wayne Hector and Steve Robson, has always held a special place in his heart.

Now, fifteen years later, the Austrian-born Scottish singer has returned to the track with longtime producer Alan Vukelic to create a dynamic, modern remake. Much like a fine whisky, he says, sometimes the best songs need time to mature. This 2025 version captures the same spirit as the original but with greater depth, power, and emotional weight.

A Song Worth Revisiting by A Voice Forged by Theatre and Life

Meanwhile, Rennie’s career spans more than three decades, with highlights ranging from musical theatre (including Les Misérables, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Beauty and the Beast) to international TV appearances and concert stages across Europe. He has even performed in front of royalty, with a standout moment singing for Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco in Monte Carlo.

Further, his distinctive tenor, rich with both strength and sensitivity, has made him a sought-after interpreter of big ballads. From Snow Patrol’s “Run” to Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and Never Enough from The Greatest Showman (performed on Britain’s Got Talent in 2022), he has a gift for making iconic songs his own.

Why “Someone To Remember Me” Matters

For the musical theatre artist, this song is more than just a performance; it’s personal. Its reflective lyrics about legacy, memory, and love resonate with the singer at this stage in his career. Re-recording it now, he offers both longtime fans and new listeners a chance to hear the song as he always intended it: polished, heartfelt, and profoundly moving.

The release also joins his 2025 ballads “Unbelieving Eyes” and “A Wing and a Prayer”, proving that Rennie continues to evolve as an artist while staying true to his roots in emotive, big-hearted storytelling. With this new version of “Someone To Remember Me,” Ferdinand Rennie bridges the gap between past and present. This proves not only the timelessness of a well-written ballad but also of an artist who refuses to stop growing, exploring, and sharing his voice. It’s more than a song. It’s a memory preserved, reshaped, and given back to the world.
