Introduction
Hey, you ever have one of those moments that just sticks with you, like a snapshot you can pull out whenever life gets a little too heavy? That’s what “My Favorite Memory” is all about. This song’s not just words and a melody—it’s a warm hug from the past, a little time machine that takes you back to the good stuff. I wrote it thinking about those quiet, perfect seconds you didn’t know you’d treasure until later—like the smell of rain on a summer night, or the way someone’s laugh could light up a whole room.
What makes this one special? It’s all in the feeling. The verses hum along like a lazy afternoon, painting pictures of a moment so vivid you can almost touch it—maybe it’s a drive with the windows down, or that time you stayed up talking ‘til the sun peeked through the curtains. The chorus lifts you up, simple but full of heart, like a promise to hold onto that joy no matter what. It’s not loud or flashy—it’s intimate, like I’m sitting across from you, strumming a guitar, spilling my soul because I know you get it.
There’s this one line I love: “Time can fade the edges, but it can’t steal the glow.” That’s the heartbeat of it—how the best memories don’t just sit there collecting dust; they shine brighter the more you revisit them. I wanted it to feel universal but personal, you know? Like you could plug in your favorite memory and it’d still fit. Maybe it’s a first kiss, or a road trip with your best friend, or just some random Tuesday that turned magical for no reason at all. What’s yours? I bet you’re thinking of it right now.
Musically, it’s got this gentle sway—think acoustic vibes with a touch of nostalgia, maybe a soft hum of strings to tug at your chest. It’s not about showing off; it’s about pulling you in close. By the time it fades out, I hope it leaves you smiling, maybe a little misty-eyed, holding that memory of yours a bit tighter. That’s the goal, anyway—because if I can make you feel that, then this song’s done its job.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The first time we met
Is a favorite memory of mine
They say time changes all it pertains to
But your memory is stronger than time
[Verse 2]
I guess everything does change
Except what you choose to recall
There’s a million good daydreams to dream on
But baby, you are my favorite memory of all
[Verse 3]
Like the night we made love in the hallway
Slept all night long on the floor
Like the winter we spent on Lake Shasta
Alone and closer than ever before
[Verse 4]
And I remember that London vacation
It was you who made the whole thing a ball
There’s a million good times I could dwell on
But baby, you are my favorite memory of all
[Verse 5]
The first time we met
Is a favorite memory of mine
They say time changes all it pertains to
But your memory is stronger than time
[Verse 6]
I guess everything does change
Except what you choose to recall
There’s a million good daydreams to dream on
But baby, you are my favorite memory of all
