"The Soundtrack of Your LifeOpen in new Window. | Day 1


"Memories"
by Maroon 5



Full Lyrics


It wouldn't be a true "The Soundtrack of Your LifeOpen in new Window. without including a deeply personal song, and one that I've been listening to a lot this year. This is probably the track I've listened to the most since my mom passed in early November, mostly because I find the line "'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories, and the memories bring back, memories bring back you" to be a bittersweet sentiment. While the drinking isn't really something that I relate to, I can definitely relate to the idea of spending time trying to dredge up memories because the memories are a way of bringing my mom back so I can remember her again.

I honestly don't know how long it takes to grieve a loss like this, or if you ever really get past it but, for now, I'm content to have a handful of songs like this that help me grieve by reminding me of all the memories I can use to bring her back (in a way) whenever I want.

On a side note, I'm including this version of the song with a delightful animated story of a little girl who dreams of being an astronaut. The song loops a bit and it's not a perfect rendition but, honestly, this is a 1000x better video than the official one which is yet another "hey let's just hold the camera close on Adam Levine's face while he sings" video. *RollEyes* Do yourself a favor and watch this version... it's delightful. *Smile*
