Whitney Houston - Memories

Unreleased song by this incredible voice. Recorded in 1982 for the album "One Down", credited to the group "Material", before her first album was released. Her voice sounds young, like in her two first albums. The newspaper "The Village Voice" called the song "one of the most gorgeous ballads ever heard". An incredible rare hit.

I know, I cannot leave this place
for the memories
Things like the way they knew us
all over town
We used to walk the streets together
We could be seen
Past shops where people knew us
Yeah, people knew

I've got to choose between
tomorrow and yesterday
Can't stop to think about
my life here today

Memories can hang you up and haunt you
All your life, you know
Get so you cannot stay
And yet cannot go

Hey, I could find out
where you've gone today
I feel so unhappy
Streets seem so empty now
I want you, I want you with me
Maybe I'll find someone to get you
Off my mind
Take me away from here and leave it
Leave it all behind

Oh, Memories can hang you up
and haunt you

All your life you know
Get so you cannot stay
and yet cannot go

THIS IS A GEM OF VOCAL GYMNASTICS - only whitney can add soooo much depth & emotion to a song. The key sung in this song is PERFECT.

One of my favourite whitney songs ever...and a well composed video too!!

It's you again. Can't stop following Whitney around can you? Haven't you got anything better to do with your time? Get a life loser. She's richer and much more successful than you will ever be. Whitney (THE VOICE) is back with a new album in 2009.Didn't read your last comment, and won't read your reply either, so don't bother. Sad loser.

Why does this song sound better here on YouTube then it does on Itunes?

Sorry a Hugh Hopper/Soft Machine track...Robert Wyatt was part of the group, and covered it later...

[timbearcub]

Woah she covered a Robert Wyatt track? With Bill Laswell? Respect. She does it well too.
