| | '''Never Forget''' is a song included in the [[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]. It is based heavily off of the ''[[Halo 2]]'' song, [[Unforgotten]], with the beginnings and ends of both songs being very similar. |

| '''Never Forget''' is the thirtieth track (Disc 2 Track 15) included in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]''. It plays in the [[main menu]] of ''[[Halo 3: Mythic]]'' and in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.
| | It starts with the Unforgotten theme played with strings, but four keys lower, giving it a more solemn mood. The motif is then repeated with choir. Choir then takes the melody, with a piano accompaniment. The song then swells to a definite upturn, switching to a major key. Almost immediately, it switches back to a minor key. Piano then takes the melody, playing more of the Unforgotten theme. With careful ears a French Horn background melody can be heard. The last minute of the song is exactly the same as Unforgotten. |

| The track is a full reorchestration of the track ''[[Unforgotten]]'' (from ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]''), which is also its namesake, albeit featuring a more prominent choir accompaniment and crisper piano sounds. The melody begins with strings, but four keys lower, giving it a more solemn mood. The motif is then repeated with choir. Choir then takes the melody, with a piano accompaniment. The music then swells to a definite upturn, switching to a major key briefly before it switches back to a minor key. Piano then takes the melody and ends the piece with the main melody. With careful ears, a French Horn background melody can be heard.
| | Contrary to popular belief, [[Unforgotten]] is played in the main menu of Halo 3, not Never Forget. On Halo 3: Mythic, however, Never Forget can be heard on the main menu. |

|
| The piece was reorchestrated into ''[[Never Forget (Midnight Version)]]'' in ''[[Halo 4]] [[Halo 4: Original Soundtrack|Original Soundtrack, Volume 2]]'' and plays during the [[Halo 4 credits|''Halo 4'' credits]].
| | It runs for 3:06. |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Contrary to popular belief, ''Unforgotten'', instead of ''Never Forget'', plays in the main menu of ''Halo 3''. ''Never Forget'' was not available outside the soundtrack until the release of ''Halo 3: Mythic'' with ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' in 2009.
| |
| *''Never Forget'', along with ''[[Peril]]'', were covered by the [[Wikipedia:London Philharmonic Orchestra|London Philharmonic Orchestra]] in their 2012 album ''The Greatest Video Game Music, Volume 2''.<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Video-Game-Music-Vol/dp/B009IF1462 '''Amazon.com''': ''The Greatest Video Game Music, Vol 2'']</ref>
