“Memory” is a song from the musical “Cats”, composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Trevor Nunn.

The musical is based on T.S. Eliot’s collection of poems entitled “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats”. “Memory” is one of the musical’s most famous and iconic songs. The song is sung by the character Grizabella, a former glamor cat who is now an outcast.

Grizabella reflects on her past and longs for the days when she was revered and respected. “Memory” is an emotional and poignant ballad that captures the essence of the character’s longing for a better time.

“Memory” has been performed by various artists and has become a standard in musical theater. Its haunting melody and powerful lyrics contribute to its enduring popularity and it is often performed as a stand-alone piece outside of the musical “Cats”.
