This is a song that I wrote and recorded at my home studio but I got my good friend Jay Ramsey to sing and play guitar on it for me.

Story behind the song
I just got to thinking one day about how all the memories of the past stay with you for a long time and then it just materialized into this song.
I'm not a great ballad singer so I certainly do appreciate Jay Ramsey doing the vocal for me on this one.
Lyrics
Memories All Last So Vividly
It’s easy to Remember
What I’d like to forget
It’s a fundamental problem for me
I forget the pressures
that happen each and every day
My past memories all last so vividly wo ooh
I have so many, so many Memories of You
Some I’d like to keep and others I regret,
We had so many good times
and those I’d like to keep
But, the others, I’d just like to forget
Chorus
I’ve often thought that there should be
A Scale for memories
To separate the good ones from the bad
This would make it easier
to keep the good ones’ right on top
all the others deep inside
cause they’re so sad
Chorus
Guitar
(Bridge)
Memories are something we should cherish
to bring back happy thoughts of days gone by
all the happy times with family and friends
remembering them all so Perfectly
It’s easy to Remember
What I’d like to forget
It’s a fundamental problem for me
I love the simple pleasures
of what my life means to me
My past memories all last so vividly
My memories all last so vividly
