Ryan Hurd dived into the mental scrapbook on 'Every Other Memory'
Cole Taylor
Hurd dealt the first lines — “I still smell the smoke from/The Fourth of July fireworks” — that set the backward-glancing tone for the piece, which itself drew on past models in form and structure.did ‘Anything but Mine’ and how they did that summer-love thing,” says Taylor. “But they had such cool images that made it different and made it cool, so for me it was just kind of trying to find that uniqueness of images that would make anybody anywhere put their selves in that song.
Hurd served up “Last call, first kiss” as an opening phrase for the chorus — he loved it so much that he used it in another song he wrote the same week — and the “Every Other Memory” title came once they started on the storyline, which can be interpreted as an old relationship the singer never got over or a past love that serves as a positive marker in the guy’s development.
“The way the bridge goes into the chorus, which is like, ‘Never be another/Like that last call, first kiss’ — it goes on and on and on, like it could never end,” says Spicer. “Which is so fitting for the song. We just had to end it.”
