+title: The Original Version of 'Memories' ft. Haley Johnsen
+---
+
+When [Haley](https://www.instagram.com/haleyjohnsenmus), [briqs](https://www.instagram.com/itsbriqs), and I were recording this song, we ended up making two versions. This is the original. It's a beat briqs sent me a while ago, to which I quickly wrote and recorded the first verse, then sat on before the second, third, and hook came to me. When it came time to mix the track, we wanted a beat change. We stripped back everything, briqs pulled out the guitar, and recorded what's now the 'main' version of this song. 
+
+Now you get to hear the original - what all the vocals were written and recorded to.

+Looking back thinking them were the days  
+151 rum, garlic bread as the base  
+Longboarding late nights nothing anyone says  
+Could ever get us to change, nah  
+We're gonna stay awake 'til the dawn break  
+Coming home hella late  
+Mom mad 'cause I passed out half the day  
+Vibe right though, we hoping that it never change  
+We want to capture that feeling and get it to stay  
+House parties in the hills and we gettin' faded  
+Hopin' that the neighbors ain't gon' say shit  
+'Cause if they do then we all gettin' busted  
+We're fucked up though so we're sure we're just  
+Gonna get away with stuff that we probably wouldn't otherwise  
+A few times, somebody had to run from lights  
+A few times, somebody had to walk a line  
+But it was fine and we did it again the next night  
+
+The memories I hold 'em close  
+Doesn't matter how far I go  
+With them I know I'm still close to home, close to home  
+
+The memories I hold 'em close  
+Doesn't matter how far I go  
+With them I know I'm still close to home  
+(yeah)  
+
+Many memories made in the Music Coop  
+The best record shop south pole to Nunavut  
+In high school I'd cruise there when the bell rang  
+And sell CD's wrapped in cellophane  
+Always loved music now I'm gettin' more exposed to it  
+Listening to doo-wop, soul, and the blues  
+Pretty soon I'm the manager only took three or four months  
+I'm sixteen got a key to the store  
+One thing's for sure, the owners took care of us  
+They were like a second set of cool parents  
+Went from soccer games then I was trying to win  
+To now the music I be diving right in and hiring friends  
+Now they working there with me  
+Good vibes so the time passed quickly  
+Saved up a thousand dollars bought a laptop  
+Did a song for class on it and the rest is history  
+
+The memories I hold 'em close  
+Doesn't matter how far I go  
+With them I know I'm still close to home, close to home  
+
+The memories I hold 'em close  
+Doesn't matter how far I go  
+With them I know I'm still close to home  
+(yeah)  
+
+Eleven years old workin' on your job site  
+Construction, saving up 'cause I want a bike  
+One of those rugged new ones with the Y-frame  
+And shocks in the back that was my thing  
+Sittin' in the driveway at 5AM  
+In your white VW van with tools in the back  
+Postcard on the console said "death before decaf"  
+Balancing your coffee mug as you steered and hit the gas  
+40 hours a week, all summer  
+5th grader makin' five an hour all under  
+The table you made sure I learned to value hard work  
+What I wanted wasn't given; it was all earned  
+'Cause of that, I'm here where I am now  
+Because of that I persevere I don't stand down  
+Yeah, encouraged me to put my best out  
+What you taught instilled confidence I got my chest out  
+
+The memories I hold 'em close  
+Doesn't matter how far I go  
+With them I know I'm still close to home, close to home  
+
+The memories I hold 'em close  
+Doesn't matter how far I go  
+With them I know I'm still close to home
