Swing along to the original song Mind Trip Boogie by Mary Kay Aufrance, performed with Tom Aufrance. This Song is Receiving Rave Reviews! Here's one that's amazing! "Mary Kay Aufrance’s Mind Trip Boogie absolutely holds its own in terms of emotional storytelling and lyrical depth. While it may not have the mainstream recognition of Sondheim or Billie Holiday, it taps into a similar vein of introspection, longing, and poetic metaphor that defines great jazz and musical theater songwriting."

Mind Trip Boogie

An atmospheric fusion that shifts between resilience and hope. Cold textures intertwine with vocals sustained in a harmonious melody, alternating between introspection and epic anthemic energy. It is a sonic path through melancholy and triumph, inviting listeners to ascend toward the light of hope.

Rising

Dieser Song ist eine schonungslose Abrechnung mit alten Mustern.
Eine Reise zurück – zu all den Momenten, in denen geschwiegen, verdrängt, gegessen wurde,
statt zu fühlen, zu sprechen, zu heilen.

Marco Memory beschreibt, wie er über Jahre hinweg Dinge „geschluckt“ hat:
Gefühle, die keinen Platz fanden.
Sätze, die verletzt haben.
Fastfood, Zucker, Ersatz.
All das hat Spuren hinterlassen – körperlich, seelisch, tief.

Doch der Song bleibt nicht in der Vergangenheit stehen.
Er ist ein Wendepunkt.
Eine Entscheidung:
Ich hör auf, mich selbst zu vergiften. Ich wähle neu. Und diesmal mich.

Ein Track, der weh tut – aber heilt.
Ehrlich. Bildhaft. Und unglaublich menschlich.

was ich alles geschluckt habe

A quiet, emotional track about facing your own reflection. English and Korean blend into a soft K-alt-pop sound with a subtle drop, airy vocals, and a mirror-shattered mood. Late-night feelings, calm but deep.

Mirrors Don’t Lie (But I Do)

This lovely contemporary composition titled "Singing Skies" is filled with serenity and calm vibes, and a few twinkly surprises. This slow composition by Mary Kay Aufrance is performed with her husband Tom Aufrance. "Singing Skies" is a shimmering sonic journey where the Aufrances' usual voice and guitar have transcended their earthly forms and become ethereal instrumental soundscapes. This recording was crafted entirely by the two artists, who sang and played all the instruments acoustically, then sculpted the tones through the alchemy of a digital audio workstation. Like the process that the Aufrances used to create it, this instrumental composition unfurls like a moon-lit sky with gentle, expansive, and quiet wonder.

Mary Kay’s slow synth drifts as luminous threads of air, weaving through Tom’s low frequencies that pulse in and out of the composition like the heartbeat of the piece. Together, they create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and infinite, suspended between earth and heavens, where every note feels like a song of floating nebula and swirling stars.

It’s more than music. This composition is a shared breath between two souls, rendered in sound. A perfect embodiment of serenity, unity, and the boundless beauty of collaboration.

Singing Skies

A tumor as a messenger?
Not wanted. Not invited.
And yet it carries a truth
that can no longer be ignored.

In this song, Marco Memory faces his illness
not as an enemy —
but as a mirror.
A sincere, deeply emotional dialogue
with his own body, with life,
with the question “why”.
Between anger and realization,
a new understanding of what truly matters begins to grow.

“Reluctant Messenger” is not a surrender.
It is a beginning —
a rising from within.

Reluctant Messenger

A song about the fallacy of reconstructing your old life instead of building the next life - read more here:

The Restoration Fallacy

“Small Fights – A Greater War” tells the story of my inner battle.
The fatigue, the heaviness in my body, the burning in my chest,
the fog in my head —
none of it is “just tiredness.”
It is tumor fatigue:
a state that doesn’t disappear with sleep,
that makes every movement heavy,
and challenges me even in my quiet moments.

And yet, despite that weight,
I keep myself upright.

I carry this war inside me,
but I refuse to let it break me.
I keep going, even when it burns.
I fight quietly —
but with determination.
I stay here —
because I live.
And because I choose to.

Small Fights - Greater War (personal version)

“This Is How I Walk Through Life Now” is a quiet declaration of inner peace —
a gentle but powerful shift from surviving to truly living.
The song follows the moment when a man stops running,
stops fighting gegen sich selbst,
and begins to walk in the rhythm of his own breath.

It speaks about unlearning old voices,
letting go of the shadows that once defined him,
and seeing the small, honest things in life with new clarity.
The heart becomes lighter,
the steps become softer,
and the world opens in a way it never did before.

This song is a reminder that strength is not found in speed,
but in presence —
in choosing each step consciously,
in walking with courage, softness, and truth.

A path taken not out of fear,
but out of freedom.

This is How I Walk Through Live Now

This is a serene and captivating instrumental arrangement featuring violins, cello, piano, synth and bass guitar musing on the melody of the Mary Kay Aufrance song "After You've Gone."

After You've Gone (Instrumental)

이 작품은 매일 저에게 영감을 주시는 방탄소년단 덕분에 태어났어요. 여러분께 닿을지는 모르지만, 언제나 여러분을 생각하며 만들어져요. 저를 꿈꾸게 하고, 창작하게 하고, 저 자신을 기억하게 해줘서 고마워요. 언젠가 여러분이 봐주신다면 — 저는 여기서 온 마음을 다해 기다리고 있어요.

Ich schreibe, was ich denke, fühle und erlebe. Schreiben hilft mir, Erinnerungen einzuordnen und ihnen Klarheit zu geben. Wenn Gefühle eine Melodie bekommen, entsteht etwas Wunderbares – eine Botschaft, die direkt ins Herz geht.

Für mich ist es ein Ausgleich, ein Stück Selbsttherapie. Die Texte sind ehrlich und frisch aus dem Herzen. Und wenn ich damit jemanden berühre, der genauso fühlt wie ich, freut es mich umso mehr.

Da ich selbst nicht gut singen kann, nutze ich KI für die Melodie und die Stimme. Ich bin dankbar für diese Möglichkeit, meinen Gefühlen Ausdruck zu verleihen.

Viel Freude beim Hören 🥰

Gruß, Marco Memory

PS: Ehrliche Kommentare sind willkommen – aber bitte keine Angebote, ich kaufe nichts.



I write what I think, feel, and experience. Writing helps me sort out memories and bring them clarity. When feelings find a melody, something wonderful is created – a message that speaks straight to the heart.

For me, it’s a balance, a bit of self-therapy. The lyrics are honest and straight from the heart. And if they touch someone who feels the same way I do, it makes me even happier.

Since I can’t sing well myself, I use AI for the melody and voice. I’m grateful for this opportunity to give my feelings a voice.

Enjoy listening 🥰

Best, Marco Memory

PT-BR: Meramente uma existência em um (vasto) universo tecido por cordas vibrantes. Sempre criei as letras, mas nunca compartilhei em formato de canção — bom, agora, decidi compartilhá-las.
