The Memory Of You is a formerly unidentified europop/dance pop song by British singer-songwriter Robbie Craig, and written by Paul Barry, Gary Miller, Steve Torch, and Peter Waterman as a demo for the German band No Mercy.
Search History[]
2019[]
The song originated from a YouTube video by Manis Studio that was posted on June 10th, 2019. Manis Studio is a bot account which posts Indonesian celebrity gossip videos that have included over a dozen other unidentified songs. As Manis Studio was a bot account, it couldn’t provide any information about the songs.
On June 25th, 2019, Reddit and YouTube user Sweguin reposted the song to r/NameThatSong, after discovering the original 1:48 second snippet Manis Studio uploaded while using PetitTube, a website that displays random YouTube videos with low view counts. After getting no upvotes, he left the search.
2020s[]
On October 3rd, 2020, the full version of the song was discovered after using a bot created by Reddit user u/harroldawizard to search the Manis Studio channel for the song and discovering that it was uploaded on August 2nd, 2019.
In 2022, Sweguin remembered the song, so he searched through his friend's Discord server which he previously sent the video in, and he managed to find it. He then searched up the lyrics again, coming across a Genius page with the song's lyrics which didn't exist when he originally searched for it. Eventually, he found an upload by LostwaveFinder with the full song and some information about it in the description.
He discovered that the song was written by Paul Barry, Gary Miller, Steve Torch and Peter Waterman. This was found through a listing with a song title that matched the song's lyrics. Despite Garry Miller confirming he wrote the song, he didn’t remember who the singer was when he was contacted prior to his death in 2022, but he said it was written for the German band No Mercy.
Sweguin went onto the Fond My Mind Discord server. There, he found the channel about the song and posted about it asking if he was the original poster of the search. User Lostwave Finder sent a private message to Sweguin telling him that he was, with Lostwave Finder being one of the only people to see his post and reupload the snippet. Lostwave Finder was not able to contact Sweguin about the song as Sweguin's account was deleted after he made the post.
On December 8th, 2023, user MelNobody commented on Q’s reupload of the other formerly unidentified song called Love Liquid Therapy. They said they found an upload of the song crediting it to VHF Production Music. The channel also had an upload of another Manis Studio song, but the VHF Production Music channel had been deleted.
2024[]
In early June of 2024, various other YouTube content farms were discovered that credited the song to VHF Production Music. VHF is a botnet that had bots plagiarize news articles and reupload family vlog videos. There were multiple other songs that were included in these other videos that weren’t featured in Manis Studio videos.
On June 24th, 2024, one of the FMM Discord server staff, Funado, who searched earlier for the song, discovered a musician named Robbie Craig, he sounded identical, so he was contacted.
On July 25th, 2024, Robbie later sent him a massage back saying it was him. The song was then confirmed to be made by him, Gary Miller and Paul Barry. Robbie was also the vocalist of Long After The Night Has Gone.
Lyrics[]
[Chorus]
All I'm left with is the memory of you
Come on get up and give me one more chance
All I'm left with is the memory of you
Yeah yeah oh oh
[Verse 1]
We used to be like one of a kind
A dream love affair, so hard to find
We always said this would last for more time
But now you turn away
Don't wanna look my way
[Pre-Chorus]
I want your touch upon me
The spell you weave still haunts me
I feel it deep down in my soul
Oh, yeah!
[Chorus]
All I'm left with is the memory of you
Come on get up and give me one more chance
All I'm left with is the memory of you, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge 1]
Whoa, oh, yeah, my baby
[Verse 2]
So many nights we were dancin' till dawn
And now the music stops the melody's gone
Spend all my time thinking 'bout you
You are my fantasy,
But you don't talk to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I want your touch upon me,
The spell you weave still haunts me
I feel it deep down in my soul
[Chorus]
'Cause all I'm left with is the memory of you
Come on get up and give me one more chance
All I'm left with is the memory of you
Yeah, yeah, oh, whoa
All I'm left with,
Ooh, baby!
[Chorus]
All I'm left with is the memory of you
Come on get up and give me one more chance
All I'm left with is the memory of you
Yeah, yeah, oh, ah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I want your touch upon me
Oh, the spell you weave still haunts me
I feel it deep down in my soul
(Yah-hah!)
[Outro]
All I'm left with is the memory of you
Come on get up and give me one more chance
All I'm left with is the memory of you
Oh whoa, ooh, baby, oh
All I'm left with is the memory of you
Come on get up and give me one more chance
All I'm left with is the memory of you
