Memory (song)

Memory ( German title memory ) is probably the best known song from the musical Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The lyrics were written by Trevor Nunn and is based on TS Eliot poem Rhapsody on a Windy Night.

We sing the song in the musical of Grizabella, the former glamor cat who is now only a shadow of its former self. The song is a nostalgic look back at their past and expresses her desire to start a new life. Memory is sung in the musical several times. When he is sung at the end of the piece, it marks the turning point and climax of the plot.
