A souvenir (from French, for a remembrance or memory),memento, keepsake, or token of remembrance is an object a person acquires for the memories the owner associates with it. A souvenir can be any object that can be collected or purchased and transported home by the traveler as a memento of a visit. While there is no set minimum or maximum cost that one is required to adhere to when purchasing a souvenir, etiquette would suggest to keep it within a monetary amount that the receiver would not feel uncomfortable with when presented the souvenir. The object itself may have intrinsic value, or simply be a symbol of past experience. Without the owner's input, the symbolic meaning is invisible and cannot be articulated.
The tourism industry designates tourism souvenirs as commemorative merchandise associated with a location, often including geographic information and usually produced in a manner that promotes souvenir collecting.
Throughout the world, the souvenir trade is an important part of the tourism industry serving a dual role, first to help improve the local economy, and second to allow visitors to take with them a memento of their visit, ultimately to encourage an opportunity for a return visit, or to promote the locale to other tourists as a form of word-of-mouth marketing. Perhaps the most collected souvenirs by tourists are photographs as a medium to document specific events and places for future reference.
Artemios "Demis" Ventouris-Roussos (Greek: Αρτέμιος "Ντέμης" Βεντούρης-Ρούσσος, 15 June 1946 – 25 January 2015) was a Greek singer and performer who had international hit records as a solo performer in the 1970s after having been a member of Aphrodite's Child, a progressive rock group that also included Vangelis.
Roussos sold over 60 million albums worldwide and became "an unlikely kaftan-wearing sex symbol".
Roussos was born and raised in Alexandria, Egypt, in a Greek family where his father George (Yorgos Roussos) was a classical guitarist and an engineer and his mother Olga was a singer; her family originally came from Greece. As a child, he studied music and joined the Greek Church byzantine choir in Alexandria. His formative years in the ancient port city's cosmopolitan atmosphere were influenced by jazz, but also traditional Arab and Greek Orthodox music. His parents lost their possessions during the Suez Crisis and consequently decided to move to Greece.

The enticing and indelible vocals of Zara Kershaw are perfectly intertwined with Etherwood's moving piano chords for pure sunshine serenity. An instantly inviting track, taking a trip through perfectly progressive build-ups and delicate underlying percussion before falling head first into the sounds of a future festival classic.

I've got my souvenirs that's one thing you can't take away
I've got all my memories of yesterday
Though you've gone and left me here to cry these tears
You can break my heart but you can't take my souvenirs
I can't forget the day we met so long ago
The first time that we kissed I knew I loved you so
All these these things're burned into my memories
The souvenirs that you can't take away from me
I've got my souvenirs...
[ guitar ]
I keep your letters and I keep your Valentines
Wonder signs of love that say you'll be mine
I still have your picture hangin' on the wall
They're my souvenirs and I'm glad I kept them all
I've got my souvenirs...
