Lyrical, lilting, Memories by Maroon 5 is out to claim a spot in your heart. Of longing and love, this song’s video has the band’s front man Adam Levine winning one over. If the band’s last outing Girls Like You, featuring Cardi B, has won the music lovers from the world over, then going by its current standing at 163,914,937 hits and counting on YouTube, this one’s going to sweep the audience too.
The fact that it debuted as Billboard Hot 100’s top 40, signals yet another sweeping success for this American pop rock band from Los Angeles.
With Moves Like Jagger, This Love, One More Night, Harder To Breathe, Payphone being amongst the many a hit to its credit, Maroon 5 is a ‘self-contained’ unit to begin with. Unarguably, they have had few of the most successful collaborations - Moves Like Jagger feat. Christina Aguilera; Out of Goodbyes feat. Hilary Scott; Don’t Wanna Know came with Pulitzer Prize for Music winner Kendrick Lamar; and of course Girls Like You with Cardi B that went viral, courtesy young dad and a daughter (toddler) lip syncing. Over to Memories next!
Celebrating musicians
One song that launches a thousand memories is this Maroon 5 gem. These are the best three minutes spent looking at a man’s face. Simple video, full on emotions that celebrate being in love and hurt and everything in between. A Maroon 5 fan, songs like this make me a hardcore follower of the band.

Toast to life
Life is about raising your glass, and that’s Memories making a toast to life. Friends gained, a lover lost, of bonds that we hold precious forever. This song wins you by being all emotion. Cheers to wonder Levine and Cause the drinks bring back all the memories/And the memories bring back, memories bring back you. One just can’t stop singing.
