• Memorizing Song LYRICS
    4 replies, posted
I struggle memorizing ALL the lyrics to songs. Songs I've heard or listened to religiously for over 10 years even. It bothers me so much as I play guitar and love music however I forget the songs so easily. I see people at parties who chant songs and seem to remember all the lyrics to just about any or every song. Anyone got techniques they could share that would or possibly could remedy this problem. Thanks!
Listen to less songs.
Try singing them off a page without music a bunch of times to get them down and then try singing along with the song. A lot of times I'll think I know the lyrics to a song really well, but when I sing along I'll get lost.
When I was working to memorize the Elements Song, what I did was read over the lyrics, recite them, and then I started over whenever I messed up and re-read the lyrics to see what I got wrong. I found that this method is really good for sequential memory, the kind of memory you need when memorizing song lyrics. I learned the Elements Song within the day and it was ingrained in my mind by the next morning.
