About This Track

'memory' by Tomberlin is a 2022 song in which the lyrics weigh on faith, time, and the dread of losing an absent voice. The speaker recalls being “young” and trying to practise belief for years, then finding it undone, only to keep trusting anyway. A recurring image is keeping a private message close, afraid it might stop, so that they might never hear that voice again. Even when the thought turns bleak, the song frames persistence through repetition, insisting, with stubborn tenderness, that they still play it like a song.

"memory" is a track by Tomberlin, released 28th April 2022. The track is 4:33 long. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Tomberlin.

Lyrics

memory

Trusted in the invisible
When I was young
Practiced 20 years
Left me undone

But I've tasted and I've seen you
And still trust won't come
Kept your voicemail in my pocket
Afraid one day it'd stop playin', and I'd never hear
Your voice again

But I play it like a song
And when it stops, I turn it back on
Possessed me from the start
Locked me in both your arms
And I never asked to leave
And I never had the need
Keep me
Keep me

Memory is the silent killer
But I'd use my last night, to think of you
To think of you
