Hello Musicians, It is another week of Open mic with the tag "Memories", May the new week be of good memories of greatness. stay blessed!!!...

The song I will be using for the topic of the new week "Memories" is Memories by Maroon 5. The song is actually sang in reference to the past ones that were valuable to us, an adage say, "You won't know the value of a fellow until you lose them", this adage is really real, when someone loses a fellow that is so dear and close to his or her heart, then, such person will know the meaning of this song. It is a song, sang for someone that has been irreplaceable in one's life.

One of my sad memories is the day my grandma came from village not feeling good, after getting home, she was moved to hospital because it was a critical condition, I didn't know it was my last time seeing her alive, even though I was small, I felt like "Is this the last time am seeing a good mother", I cried on the day she was buried but it couldn't bring her back, I still miss those village care she gave me anytime I visit her. I will forever love her and will forever be in my heart. what do pain me till now is she didn't wait to eat well all she has worked for, she is a mother indeed , a grandmother like mother, She scold and still beg for forgiveness from her grandson, imagine. I miss you grandma!!!.... this moment actually brought me back to those days, mehn, Good people don't last. It is well!!!!!

Lyrics by "Memories by Maroon 5"

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, ayy

Here's to the ones that we got (Oh-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

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
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo (Ooh, yeah)
Memories bring back, memories bring back you

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Memories bring back, memories bring back you
