Memories (Hugh Hopper song)

"Memories" is a progressive rock song written by Hugh Hopper[1] and recorded by a number of artists.

Canterbury scene versions[edit]

Hopper wrote the song in the mid-1960s and it was originally recorded by his group The Wilde Flowers, although their versions were not released until many years later. The Wilde Flowers was a predecessor to the group Soft Machine, who also covered the song, as did associated artists Robert Wyatt (released as the B-side of his single "I'm a Believer" and on his compilation album Eps[2]), and by Daevid Allen (on his album Banana Moon,[3] with vocals by Wyatt).


Several versions by The Wilde Flowers were released on a compilation of their work in 1994.[4]

The Mars Volta version[edit]

The song has also been covered by The Mars Volta, which was included as a bonus track on some versions of their album The Bedlam in Goliath.
