Memories Of You (Adult Contempoary)

Song Description

Pro Review by Ed Verner, Plant City, Florida, US I could easily hear this song as is in one of those artistic romantic films with rain falling down as a lonely broken hearted guy sits on the porch under a tin roof... etc. etc. some great angst in it. As is, it stands alone as solo folk or stripped down pop easy listening... but it could also be a demo for a redo with some minimal piano and acoustic percussion etc... and for what it is worth I give it a tentative title of "Frozen Memories" though I'm sure you call it "Memories of You" which is the hook, but so too a oft used one... I also thought perhaps "Seared in my Mind" just to stay away from the more normal title... I enjoyed this song. listened to it several times. God Bless

Lyrics

MEMORIES OF YOU
( STEVE DAFOE 2005 )

( COPYRIGHTED)


Fmaj7 (Pick hard "A' or "D" twice + strum twice and slide to G6 (my definition of Fmaj7 on Third (3rd) Fret...

CHORUS:

Fmaj7 G6
And in my mind ... memories of you

Fmaj7 G6
Frozen still with the passage of time

Fmaj7 G6
A love so kind and once, so true....

Fmaj7 G6
Seared in my mind.... memories of you

Fmaj7 G6
Seared in my mind.... memories of you.......



VERSE 1:

Dm Bb EM
Through the haze of time , I can see you there
Dm Bb EM
In days when you were mine, I still smell the scent..
Dm Bb EM
Both young and carefree, I felt the loving care
Dm Bb EM
But as we grew apart, we no longer meant....
EM
and it's just ............................................................TO CHORUS



VERSE 2:
Dm Bb EM
And surging through my mind, you're still there
Dm Bb EM
With a green dress and that long-flowing hair
Dm Bb EM
Whispering, taunting that you still care...
Dm Bb EM
And then I awake , finally aware..
EM
And it's still.......................................................TO CHORUS

NOTE: Lyrics can be added , etc....

Excellent song. I love the chord progression you are doing.

Very nice easy listening tune. I could hear this in a pub or coffee house setting. Perhaps in a movie with just that setting.

This is a heartfelt and beautiful story sung to you by a skilled vocalist and guitarist. The gentlemen's voice beckons you to go on his journey of "Memories of You". This is a nice addition to your playlist when you are feeling sad for those gone by. Grab a tissue. Highly Recommended.

Interesting minor into, vey mysterious. Great singer! Also a creative lyricist, I like how it wasn't always about rhyming things together but more about speaking the proper message. Gentle, honest, beautiful.

Vocal draws you in right away, by the B section you want to hear more lyrically and musically. Good lyrics and vocal performance. Nice chord progressions... vocal reminds me of Paul Carrack, remember that dude? Very nice song from beginning to end, congratulations on your talent!!

nice vocals that work well with the guitar mix. song has a relaxing flow with a message that expresses sincerity. Sounds like it would work well in an intimate club/live performance.
