Anyone else sit there amazed at how much vocabulary they actually have, just from lyrics? Or at how many lyrics they actually know? It amazes me. Mostly because I couldn't remember a sentence written in a book off by heart, but I can rattle out a song at the snap of a finger. It's like, man, if my brain just remembered some more important shit in life things might be a little different? But nope, no.. I could be walking on a plank to my doom and I'd be busting out some raps for y'all.
Yes, I can definitely recite song lyrics better than literature. Some of it probably has to do with the pitch/phrasing/tone of singing, some of it perhaps due to the rhyming style of alot of music and some might be due to the fact that a whole album's worth of lyrics may equal to about a chapter or less of the average book. I generaly conceptualize books, where I may pick up phrases and terms here and there but more concerned about getting the general ideas. A strange thing about music too, is that I'll remember lyrics to songs that I don't even like.
This is interesting. I've noticed too that I might know all the lyrics to a song while it's playing but not all of them if I have to remember it without the music. Same here too GB, songs that I don't even like get stuck in my head.
I find it slightly disturbing just how many songs I know by heart that I dont even like, various sings I've heard hundreds of times throughout my life from listening to them with my mom growing up or on various shitty radio stations at various jobs over the years.
Ha - my mum used to love musicals and play the records all the time. Even now I get 'Climb every mountain' or 'How do you solve a problem like Maria' playing away in my head. Also crappy pop songs from the 60's and 70's now and then.
Ahrghhhh Doe, a deer, a female deer Ray, a drop of golden sun Me, a name I call myself Far, a long long way to run Sew, a needle pulling thread La, a note to follow so Tea, a drink with jam and bread That will bring us back to Do, oh oh oh Fucking kill me now :yikes: You have no0 idea what you started there Irm Mate
I can do that with movie quotes I will be with someone and all the sudden this movie will pop in my head that I can relate too
I have a song in my head. I think it's Dido. Or Dito. Or Ditto. But I call her Dildo. Anyway I just start humming the tune. It's the one where "there'll be no white flag above my door. I'm in love. And always will be" or whatever the lyrics are. I just can't stop humming the tune. Does anyone else take an existing beat and rhythm and then throw their own words into it? And if so, have you made an existing song better with your own lyrics? I have. every time. :d in my head.
I can only do that with rap songs, occasionally I'll take a corny pop song and make like a dirty, explicit version or come up with dumber lyrics in my head though and that's fun.
people who compete in memorising competitions say that the key is to have several different associations. for example, they have to memorise the order for a pack of cards, and the best way to do that is to associate each card with several different things, a sound, a smell, a colour, a person, an adjective. some of them try to remember the deck order as a story, so a series of cards could become: " ugly queen sat in the happy red car..." and so on. the the more associations your brain has with something, the easier it is to remember, its like there are more routes to memory, more opportunities for your brain to get it right, if you've got enough associations. song lyrics are easier to remember because the melody means that there is another strong memory route, the words are associated with a melody. or at least, that would be my theory.
I don't really have a trick or technique besides repetition. I'm good at memorizing lyrics and music. No idea why. I can't remember 8 things I was supposed to buy at the store but I can sing plenty of songs off the top of my head. That said....I don't get paid to go shopping but I do get paid to play music....as little as it may be at times. Some of you guys may remember my video I posted of me singing the only rap song I've ever performed (Ain't No Fun--Snoop Dogg). That was totally rhythm and feel. No thinking of the lyrics on stage. Just letting my subconscience do it on it's own. Most songs...I don't have to drill into my head but since that one was based on timing so much....I sang it in my head several hundreds of times until it was just automatic on stage.
I can get weird one minute, They flutter behind you your possible past,, some bright eyed and crazy some frightened and lost.... a warning to anyone still in command ,, of their possible futures to take care.... ... to, She come skimming thru ray of violet she can wade in a drop of dew,, harry was a bareback rider proud and free upon a horse., fine coal miner the nbc that it was ,,, fallen angel jebus on a cross,, should of seen her do the skater waltz.. even when I was in army, I would just recite tunes in my head. Id always be somewhere else in my mind...
Dido ( Just noticed she looks a bit like you ) or vice versa !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-fWDrZSiZs&feature=youtu.be
does irm have pictures posted somewhere? based on her lack of available pictures, i always just assumed she was bbad's alter ego or something.
Everyone learns differently. If children were tested to see how they learn best, then teaching that child could be adapted to his/her learning style. Some people are tactile learners. Some are visual learners. Some are auditory learners, etc. I read all about it somewhere.
