indeed, reading the lyrics makes me want to cry, hearing it makes me want to cry a little more. hearing it live actually makes me cry, or it did once, but just a little. but yes. its a great song... |

yes, this is a very good song. Ive liked it since i first heard it, but i dont think the signficance of this song, at least for me, really hit home till this morning when i was listening to the ep while i was driving along in my truck this morning. i guess to get to my point ill have to tell a story. I hope this comes out clear. the parents/grandparents of my best friend in my late childhood and teenage years were farmers. he raised a really big produce garden and she ran a store and later a produce stand. I was always at my friends house, so i was always helping them out with stuff. They took me on summer trips and places and treated me like i was one of their own most of the time. They played a very significant role in shaping me as a person, specifically in my work ethic. When i went off to college i would come home during the summers and work with them. Mainly out in the field. It would just be me and him sometimes. A friend of mine usually helped her in the store. I loved it most of the time. People never understood why i would go back to that job every summer, since i could probably have been interning for some engineering company and making a lot more money. I didnt feel like i owed it to these people to work, but i wanted to help out. They were so much fun to work with and be around. We worked hard ( ive got so many crazy stories), but it kept me in shape. Anyways, im now graduated and working off for a company. He is 69 and still farming, which is amazing. She is 62 and still doing produce. They wont be around much longer im sure. I dont fear death like most people do, but i just know when they finally pass on that this song is gonna haunt me for a while. I know they are in good hands if you know what i mean, so thats not a worry. I guess its just hitting me that its going to happen eventually. I still keep in touch with them. Im going home this weekend so ill go see them. Anyways, enough mushy stuff, i just felt like the story needed to be told. |

Songs that connect to real life stuff are always the best. And "Memories" is one of the best. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

i've spent a good half hour trying to put my thoughts of memories in words. All i can say is that when it comes up on my playlist at work i inevitably stop working, the phone ends up on DND ( do not disturb ), and i put my head in my hands and just listen. Granted i don't know a whole lot about music nor have I been exposed to many bands but no other song except perhaps Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd has affected me like Memories. It's by far my fav. Eisley tune yet. _________________ "Religions have started on lesser revelations" - investor on MarketWatch.com |

I haven't heard this song, yet, and keep seeing it mentioned here and there. Still waiting for a some good Eisley fan to share the audio experience.
