Music Video
The band playing inside an old manor on the "Memories" music video (2005)
The Memories video tells the story of an aged Sharon den Adel who returns to her old house, which is now for sale. As she enters her old home, she is transformed into her younger self and the house is restored to how it is in her memories. In some scenes, den Adel walks around the house, haunted by memories of her old lover and in others, she is in a room with other bandmates singing. Jeroen, the band's bassist, plays a double bass in one of the scenes from the past, while Martijn, their keyboard player, plays the piano.
As she leaves the house towards the end, she becomes her aged self again, and the house falls back into its current disrepair.
