The Virgins were formed after a Ryan McGinley photo shoot brought together Donald Cumming and Wade Oates to work on tracks Cumming had begun. The two other members joined shortly after; Erik Ratensperger, and Nick Ackerman. The Virgins have gained popularity recently due to the CW show Gossip Girl featuring five of their songs in one episode and recent participation in SXSW. Erik Ratensperger left the band at the end of 2008 and has since been replaced with Kevin [last name unknown as of yet].

Flashbacks Memories and Dreams
The Virgins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s solar raining when you get outside
See something sparkling oh come on
You gotta at least ... turn me on
And when you reason with yourself
You got to picture someone else
As she danced with the mirror sway, while the records played
And she gone to a matinée, no, she found a way like a ... past
I'll take that cookie for my jar
Look for ... up on the bedroom floor
I′m feeling heavy with the pound
Just like a siren, don't make a sound
And when you reason with yourself
You gotta picture someone else
Well she dreamed of the silver screen, but she's just a scream
But it′s all a bronze
You say way better you than me, but she′s hard to see when the lights come on
She can dance with the shadow on, like she's all alone as the hours Wass
Should she say for a night or so, but she′s gotta go like a breath of life
But take it how you want it
Don't let it get away from you
No matter how you got it
It′s never gonna stay with you
And anyway you squeeze it,
You know it's gonna be the same
Don′t matter how you leave it
You're beaten at the game
Well she dreamed of the silver screen, but she's just a scream
But it′s all a bronze
You say way better you than me, but she′s hard to see when the lights come on
She can dance with the shadow on, like she's all alone as the hours pass
Should she say for a night or so, but she′s gotta go like a breath of life
The Virgins' "Flashbacks Memories and Dreams" is a song about the fleeting nature of love and fame. The opening lines suggest someone is looking for a ride; a companion to share the journey of life. The phrase "solar raining" implies an eclipse or dark cloud, the kind of things that often accompany sadness or uncertainty. As the song continues, we learn that the singer is trying to capture the attention of their lover, to "spark" something between them. However, she seems to be looking elsewhere, maybe fantasizing about someone else.
The second verse talks more about the singer's desires and struggles. He's struggling with his weight, and feeling like a siren - attractive on the outside but struggling with inner feelings of desire and sadness. He fantasizes about a life of art, fame, and success but knows it's all just "bronze." The lines "Don't let it get away from you" and "No matter how you got it, it’s never gonna stay with you" suggest that he has little control over his life, his emotions, or his ambitions, and that everything he wants is just out of reach.
Overall, the song is a bittersweet meditation on the ephemeral nature of life and relationships. It suggests that we're all just specks of dust in the grand scheme of things, and that no matter how much we might want something, we can't hold onto it forever.
