It's Just a Burning Memory is the opening track of Everywhere at the End of Time, the project by British musician Leyland Kirby as The Caretaker. Released as Stage 1 in 2016, the album series uses looped ballroom samples to portray memory loss and dementia over six stages. Online, this first, relatively calm stage became widely reused for liminal spaces, nostalgia edits and analog horror, because its gentle loop still sounds intact while hinting at the decay that defines the later stages.
