12 Memories is the fourth studio album by the Scottish rock band Travis, first released in 2003. It is a much more mature and lyrically darker album and focuses on issues such as the 2003 Iraq invasion, politicians, and domestic abuse. It opened to rather mixed reviews by music critics. Three singles were released from the album. The first, "Re-offender", reached number 7 in the UK chart and was about domestic abuse. The second single, "The Beautiful Occupation", was inspired by the occupation of Iraq by US and coalition forces in 2003. The final single, "Love Will Come Through" was a much more classical Travis song and was subsequently featured in a marketing campaign by the Post Office.
