A Time We Knew No Pain!
Some songs just never lose their value no matter how many times or often they've been played. It doesn't matter either how old the song is or the year of its publication. It still hits differently every time it's being played. These type of songs has left lasting memories and moments in our heart as such each time it's being played, those moments play back as well while we listen.
Some bring smiles to our lips and some come with tears rolling down our chins.
The effect of these types of music can never really be understood or properly analyzed.
A lot of us, have some tracks or a list of songs that mean the world to us. Songs that we don't get tired of listening to or humming to the tunes or even dancing to the beats. Songs that bring us good vibes and feelings or if we just want to get into the mood.
I have them too, and I put these types of tracks on repeat so that I continue vibing to it and not be distracted by another.
Today I wanna share one of the pieces that have had a lasting effect on me and till today nothing has changed about it. This song has always made it to my top favorite songs or track.
MEMORIES by Maroon 5
The song hit differently when the sudden pandemic that struck the whole world came in 2020. The whole world was affected, lives were lost, family, friends, and loved ones far and near.
Then again came the #EndSars protect in my country Nigeria.
It was really a terrible year and period for all of us.
This song made me tear up every time I remember the past incidents and how many are still brooding over it and mourning till this very day.
I am very certain most of us here are familiar with this song, but I will still love to share the lyrics and preferably the link to the song as well so that you can listen to it if you haven't or you have never heard it before.
Here goes the lyrics;
Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name
'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy
But everything gon' be alright
Go and raise a glass and say, ayy
Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
Doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Memories bring back, memories bring back you
There's a time that I remember when I never felt so lost
When I felt all of the hatred was too powerful to stop (ooh, yeah)
Now my heart feel like an ember and it's lighting up the dark
I'll carry these torches for ya that you know I'll never drop, yeah
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy
But everything gon' be alright
Go and raise a glass and say, a
Here's to the ones that we got (oh)
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through (no, no)
Toast to the ones here today (ayy)
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories (ayy)
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
I exceptionally love the version sung by the children and so I would have loved to share just that one in particular but if you need the original version, not to worry, I will still share it too so you get to listen to both.

How great when songs can bring memories, I know.
There would be a list of musical pieces and songs that can bring back different memories and moments. Mainly connected to the years when I was still younger :D
One detail, if you use lyrics of a song in your post (if you have to), it would be good to link the source from where you have copied them. Thanks
Okay! Noted.
I thought the quote sign and video link were enough since obviously, I got the lyrics from google.
Will include the link if I must use it next time, thank you!
