thank you for the lovely comments, i'm glad many of you relate and are enjoying the song and video! Here are the lyrics:

What did you find in the box in the back
Of the attic that you packed all those years ago?
A 1960’s plushie frog
A crochet tapestry for walls
A closet full of oddities
A signed Imogen Heap cd

I fill my room with little things
That no one wants and no one needs
Rejected, I guess they’re just like me

I’m the queen of broken toys
The music box that don’t make noise
The friends I don’t have think it’s weird
I keep the things that disappear

I fall in love with broken glass
And wipe dust off of paperbacks
I’m afraid of letting go
So I hold on to
Mementos

The smell of old is nothing new
Locked in picture frames with glue
A tv stuck on channel 5
A vhs that’s locked in time

In my room with little things
That no one wants and no one needs,
Rejected, I guess they’re just like me

I’m the queen of broken toys
The music box that don’t make noise
The friends I don’t have think it’s weird
I keep the things that disappear

I fall in love with broken glass
And wipe dust off of
paperbacks
I’m afraid of letting go
So I hold on to
Mementos

What did you find in the box in the back
Of the attic that you packed all those years ago?

the feeling of being the only one up in a oldhouse around midnight just the echoes from the ticking clocks and static ambients of the rooms and the fading out vision of the eye within such quietness and nostalgia… thank you…

[MahmudMostafa]

This tickles my inner mixed feelings of missing my old self and wanting my current one to be the same as before being broken or dull

[richbutnotwealthy]

I'm gonna turn off my computer now. There's no way I'd find something better than this today. Absolutely beautiful, and now stuck in my head forever.

[jon.]

This is beautiful. I found your twitter weeks ago and listened to Memento for the first time yesterday. I cried. Im 35 years old and feel very broken. I lost someone very important to me. I feel scared and alone and your music helps me cope. Thank you.

[Selfish-slivka-]

So smart lyrics. "I fall in love with broken glass", it is as if glass was her small mirror. Girl loved how she looked like, but something happened, so she broke it, though kept it with herself as warm reminder, that when she was younger, she loved how she looked like. Your vocals sounds like a little bit introvertish Taylor Swift, i find itvery beautiful. Such a nice song.

[amirulikhwanii]

This is the perfect song to listen to during the rainy season with a cup of coffee and a croissant.

[ethan]

I like it, the right amount of sorrow, the right amount of whatever you want to express, I love it

[VistaVR]

Amazing juliana i cant believe i cry just by listening to a music😢
I cant believe, youre the best artist for real
Such a great moment
Thank you for the music that you make❤❤❤

[ali-shafeq-alkaby]

The camera work, the lyrics and the tunes give me memories that i didn't experience.

[hellosabrinachaney]

This plays right into my childhood fantasy of having my own secret room to build a fort and play in 🥰

[no-ldmt]

"Im the queen of broken toys . The music box that dont make noise". ❤❤❤❤ so epic and gentle and the same time . Got me head banging and spinning like a "elegant" dancer

[MattRMan]

This is a whole cottage core vintage vibe, I love this!

[Mahan_.]

I am so obsessed with this song Juliana. I'm grateful for your art.

[timnook]

this warms my heart just how it needs to be warmed right now.. even the warmth of this summer would never be able to warm it like that <3

[jordan.newsom]

this is so lovely. finding forgotten memories in an old attic will never not be magical.

[CawsmycC]

Ma'am, You Got my honor of putting the song on loop and making me listen in the early beginning of september as it rains down on my making me reflect at my life

[adamtrieseverything]

It's like every day we get more Juliana ✨

[perriwinkleiii]

The song is so lovely, and I immediately was struck when I saw the I Spy/Walter Wick album cover, but the video really caps it off. It's brimming with creativity, and it just looks like it was a ton of fun to make. Another keeper from Juliana Chahayed (and team)!

[AchselFord]

Oh my dear Prudence, this is a really nice song! 🖤
