Interesting facts and trivia about Memories. By Songfacts®.

"Memories" is a sparse, reflective track in which Adam Levine looks back on the good times with a loved one while enjoying some drinks with friends. The effects of the alcohol and camaraderie with his pals cause his emotions to bubble up as he remembers their times together. Levine shared on Twitter: "This song is for anyone who has ever experienced loss. In other words, this song is for all of us."

The wistful song's melody is based on the eight-chord progression (I-V-vi-iii-IV-I-IV-V) of Johann Pachelbel's "Canon In D Major." Other contemporary songs that borrow from the perennial popular 17th century work include The Bee Gees' debut hit "Spicks And Specks", Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Christmas Canon," Vitamin C's "Graduation (Friends Forever)," Cher's "The Greatest Thing," The Farm's "All Together Now," Blues Traveler's "Hook" and N-Dubz's "We Dance On."
