      I used to sing Nightwish and Within Temptation and Evanescence songs etc hundreds of times more than a decade ago, so I used to know those lyrics automatically back then, but it seems like I forgot most of the lyrics, and I also keep forgetting how certain lines start in some of the newer songs in Norse and Gothic and Icelandic and Faroese and Dutch and Norwegian etc that I’ve been learning over the past 18 months or so, such as Óðinn and Gleipnir and Níu etc and many others, and I noticed that it’s usually when a line starts with a preposition or adverb I tend to forget how the line starts more often, for some unknown reason, but, I am trying to rehearse them more and also trying to re-learn the other songs too - I am also having major difficulty trying to memorize my own lyrics, which are beyond complex and the hardest lyrics ever to memorize, being full of big terms and rare terms etc and without repetition of the same word in the same song (except for the adverbs and conjunctions and prepositions) and just feel impossible to memorize, and many of them have so many long stanzas, so usually one of them is like the equivalent of ten normal songs or more, with each line usually being longer than a whole stanza from regular lyrics, so I don’t know how am I going to memorize so many words in the same order, but I seem to be able to memorize tons of new words in all the Norse / Germanic / Nordic / Celtic / Latin languages that I am learning and in the other target languages, but it’s still different because when I am learning languages I don’t have to memorize the words in any particular order, but with lyrics that are very complex it just feels so impossible to remember the words in that exact order, so I don’t know what to do!

    I have been a singer in multiple tribute bands, such as an Elvis Costello tribute band, which was amazing but also a huge challenge in terms of memorizing his beautiful lyrics. (Lucky for me, I've been singing along to his hundreds of songs since 1980). One of my biggest challenges in the past few years was having to learn REM's "End of the World As We Know It," and I found that I naturally ended up using the techniques you describe here! Thanks for a great video.

    • @PowerToSing
      @PowerToSing  8 місяців тому

      What I found out is the work I put into the imagery helped me memorize. But don't feel like you have to memorize the whole thing this way. Pick out one idea or word per verse and memorize those. See if that helps the other things come to your mind.

      Depends on what type of person you are. For me, the more visual something is, the better i recall it. So imagining something crazy based on the lyrics actually helped me remember better. Some can remember text-based information faster. For me, not only will it take longer, it's also extremely tedious and boring.

      @Beyonce Ching16 I can memorize a song in a day using this technique ...if it's not too long. However, even though I can recite it....even though it's memorized, I have to practice it with the music and sing it through multiple times....so the pictures connect fast enough in my head to be able to perform them for an audience. And it helps me to practice for an audience ( like my cast in a rehearsal) to really solidify it.

    This device is just confusing to me and does not help me memorize lyrics at all. I get caught up trying to remember what ridiculous imagery I came up with that I can’t remember what it’s supposed to remind me of. I saw a similar technique being used by memory athletes who compete to memorize sets of digits. They said they created mental visuals that would jog their memories. Doesn’t work for me…I’ll stick to endless repetition.

    • @PowerToSing
      @PowerToSing  Рік тому

      It takes time to learn the technique. You may want to try making images and place them in your home or apartment or other familiar location. For example you might picture "Jose' with a can smashed over his head floating on the sea" in your bathroom to remember "O say can you see", then a giant sun burning up your fridge in the kitchen to remember, "By the dawns early light"...etc. Using rooms and items in your room as a place to put your funny pictures.

      It's not easy. But it's works very well. Essentially you make up crazy words and stories that help bring the actually words to your remembrance. I recommended The Memory Book by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas. It's really helpful.

      To those with a great memory, perhaps. To the rest of us....it's very helpful. But it takes work.
