"Memory" is the song that defines Sugarcult, a single from their second album, Palm Trees and Power Lines, sent to radio in March 2004 on Fearless. Singer Tim Pagnotta wrote it, and guitarist Marko DeSantis traced it back to a love triangle between Pagnotta, bassist Airin Older and a photographer that left the singer soured on romance. Gavin MacKillop produced and recorded it, Pagnotta added production of his own and Tom Lord-Alge mixed, and it's pop-punk with a bruised heart and a big, shiny chorus.
The video, which came in three versions, turns the heartbreak into a sci-fi farce: a guy uses a time machine to fix a failed romance, only to stumble on his earlier self and end up brawling with him while the girl walks off. An acoustic take later landed on Punk Goes Acoustic.
