The Memories

about

The Memories is a melancholic and nostalgic reflection and trip through time as seen through a persons eyes as they gaze over old photographs. It describes the myriad of conflicting feelings that this act generates in the way it can offer solace and comfort in times of strife, yet at the same time make a person think about what might have been and the life choices that have been made. In the song Graham writes “ I can’t stem the tide that makes me cry, when I think of all the things that have passed me by”.

lyrics

The Memories

Verse

Photographs bring me back to what’s been Hmmm Hmmm

When I dreamed of all the things I wanted to be Hmm Hmm

Chorus

Oh the memories, keep me strong,

Oh the memories they help me to belong

Verse

And I can’t stem the tide that makes me cry

When I think of all the things that have passed me by

Chorus

Oh the memories, keep me strong,

Oh the memories they help me to belong

Bridge


And when I think of all the places I have been

They make me smile and long to do it all again

Aaah, aaah, aaah Solo Vocal Part


Chorus
Oh the memories, keep me strong,

Oh the memories they help me to belong
