"Sweet Memory" is a 1983 song by English pop/new wave band The Belle Stars, released as their eighth single overall. Unlike its predecessor, Sign of the Times, it did not make it into the top 10. However, it did manage to get into the top 30, spending 9 weeks at #22.[2]

Background

Sweet Memory is a song that conveys how much hatred the singer and the lover used to show each other, and how the lover should stop wasting his love by cheating on other people. The singer explains how she brings back terrible memories when thinking about how much hatred her and her lover portrayed.

Bridge

The bridge of the song features many different vocal styles sung by Jennie Matthias. First, she sings vocal hiccups, then does grunting, and, towards the end of the bridge, does a scream.

Music video

The music video for the song features the band performing live. It was produced by Pete Collins.
