‘Making Memories’ is the title single of the forthcoming album by Sydney artist, Merilyn Steele.
It’s an upbeat, positive song with a summery country vibe.
It speaks about letting people and things of the past go in order to move on with life. After going through several traumatic life events in close succession including losing her long time partner during lockdown, she is speaking from experience.
“Of course we will always treasure memories of loved ones but I’ve had to learn it’s important to pick up and carry on with life, making new memories as we go”.
Today is a memory in 10 years down the track
A day we’ll remember with fondness looking back
I’d like to make today a memory with you
So shake your ass and fill your glass
Let’s make a party for two!
Hey, hey let’s make memories
Make memories now
Oh, oh making memories
Make memories now
It’s nice to sit and reminisce about the good old days
But truth be told, we’re makin’ gold
Right here and now today
Instead of sittin’ round living in the past
Make some plans and live for now
And make new memories last! C’mon
Hey, hey let’s make memories
Make memories now
Oh, oh making memories
Make memories now
Hey, hey let’s make memories
Make memories now
Yeah yeah making memories
Make memories now
Life’s for living till the end so why are you stopping now?
Try new things, explore the world
Just get out and about
Let’s go out to a show or to a restaurant
A dinner cruise, the theatre too
Anywhere you want!
Hey, hey let’s make memories
Make memories now
Oh, oh making memories
Make memories now
Hey, hey let’s make memories
Make memories now
Yeah yeah making memories
Make memories now
Life is short, I’m gonna milk it till the end
I’m here for a good time not a long time, my friend!
There’s many things that I’d revive
And bring back from the past
But let’s live life While we can
And make today a blast! Come on
Hey, hey let’s make memories
Make memories now
Oh, oh making memories
Make memories now
Hey, hey let’s make memories
Make memories now
Yeah yeah making memories
Make memories now
Hey, hey let’s make memories
Make memories now
Yeah yeah making memories
Make memories now!
