Memories

Memories by Maroon 5 was inspired by the loss of Jordan Feldstein, the bands longtime friend and music manager. The lyrics contemplate the times spent with loved ones and the pain of their absence, serving as a tribute not only to Feldstein but to all weve lost. Its a song of comfort and reminiscence.
