Careless Memories - Duran Duran - MP3 instrumental karaoke

British synth-pop pioneers Duran Duran made a splash on the scene with their self-titled debut album in 1981. The second single from the album, following their debut single "Planet Earth," was "Careless Memories." Displaying a brash and urgent post-punk sound, "Careless Memories" is a dark and energetic song that displays the band’s influences such as Joy Division and the electronic music of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The lyrics to the song describe a person who is desperate to forget a failed relationship, attempting to dispose of the painful memories associated with it. The song captures the frustration and emotional turmoil that accompanies the end of a relationship. "Careless Memories" was written by the original band members Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Andy Taylor, and Nick Rhodes. It was produced by Colin Thurston. The single peaked at Number 37 on the UK Singles chart and is considered an essential part of the band’s early history.
