“Memories Are Made of” by Luke Combs
On “Memories Are Made of”, Luke reminisces on his youthful days and realizes that although it was not all that glittery, he had a lot of fun and it helped in shaping him into his current self.
He reminds himself of his first experience of freedom, hanging out with friends, breaking all the rules, as well as his first relationship. In his mind, he desires to go back in time to relive those days. Since that is impossible, he appreciates all the memories anyway, suggesting that those were his days of innocence, when things seemed rather simple.
The core message of the song is to remind people to be proud about their past and the journey so far, and to learn from the mistakes and all the experiences life presents.
In “Memories are Made of” Luke essentially immerses himself in memories of the events that built him into who he is today. It depicts how proud he is of his past, even though it does not seem to be much.
