MEMORY OF LOVE

I HAVE SEEN

I'VE SEEN THE VALLEY

I HAVE CROSSED THRU ITS DARKNESS

I HAVE LOST SO MANY BATTLES

I HAVE KNOWN SO MANY DEMONS

I HAVE FOUGHT WITH THE MEMORY OF LOVE,

BUT THE MEMORY OF LOVE IS SLIPPING THRU MY FINGERS 

SOMETIMES THE MEMORY OF LOVE 

IS JUST NOT ENOUGH

TO WIN THIS WAR I'M FIGHTING STILL

OH, TO STARE INTO LOVING EYES 

TO SMILE TO CRY

AND TO FEEL 

THE TOUCH OF A HAND AS I'M REACHING OUT MINE

MAY BE JUST, JUST A REFLECTION

I HAVE HELD THE EXPECTATION

THAT I AM NOT, I'M NOT ALONE, 

THAT I AM NOT, I’M NOT FORGOTTEN, 

YET WE ARE

AND THE MEMORY OF LOVE

THE MEMORY OF LOVE CAN’T CARRY ANYMORE

IT IS WORN

THE MEMORY OF LOVE, JUST MUST BE ENOUGH

EVEN THE LITTLE THAT REMAINS

OH, TO STARE INTO LOVING EYES 

TO SMILE TO CRY

AND TO FEEL 

THE TOUCH OF A HAND AS I'M REACHING OUT MINE

I WANT TO GIVE AGAIN

I WANT TO LIVE AGAIN

I'M DROWNING IN A WATERFALL

OF PICTURES AND PLACES AND FEELINGS RECALLED

I'VE LET GO BUT I STILL HOLD ON

TO EVERYTHING AND TO NOTHING AT ALL

MY MEMORY OF LOVE, CAN’T BE TAKEN AWAY

BUT IT STANDS IN THE DISTANCE SHRINKING

I SHOUT, BUT MY MEMORY OF LOVE IS FADING AWAY

MY MEMORY OF LOVE IT FADES AWAY

OH, TO STARE INTO LOVING EYES 

TO SMILE TO CRY

AND TO FEEL 

THE TOUCH OF A HAND AS I'M REACHING OUT MINE

PANDO

Pando is the ultimate in-demand bassist for some of the biggest 'MTV era' bands, doing long stints with MISSING PERSONS, GENE LOVES JEZEBEL (where I was fortunate to share the stage with Pando for 50+ shows)  and his current long standing position as bassist and musical director for A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS.

Pando combines commanding stage presence and a rock solid, melodic playing style. He joined GLJ in studio for several tracks on our critically acclaimed 'Exploding Girls' album, including the title track.  Trilled to have him on this record, and besides myself ... he has the best hair :)

JOHNNY INDOVINA

I've known Johnny since I was 17 and he is one of my best friends in this world.  I formed The Models with him New Orleans..  We moved to Los Angeles in the mid '80s and changed our name to HUMAN DRAMA..  

I've played many a shows with this guy, and recorded many a songs.  When I sat down to write the music to this song, I really wanted to write that big guitar hook anthem that I think was a hallmark of the early Human Drama sound.  I'm not sure if Johnny agrees or not... but I think we both managed to reach  back 30 years and nailed it on this song!
