Subject: How do you remember old/new songs?

Written By: mxcrashxm on 06/29/17 at 10:20 am

I'm asking to know how do you all recall songs that you listen to? For me, I remember them by hearing the lyrics and the music itself. I know on the radio, the hosts would say the artist and the title; however, I would sometimes forget.

It took me a long time to find two old songs because I didn't remember the artist nor the title, but I did know some of the lyrics and the music.

Yeah, usually the lyrics, because it gets stuck in your head. :)

I know. They'll get stuck in your head so much that you will be repeating them even if the song is not on.

Think my heart has a storage system.  Sometimes I can recall the words but even more so I recall the beat, rhythm or tune

You can't google a melody, but you can google lyrics, so it's usually the quirkiest lyric in a song that helps me identify it later if I want to hear it again.

That's what happens with me sometimes.

I may repeat the lyrics in my head or just google it instead.

I can sorta relate.

And when I hear a song on the radio but can’t place the title and/or performer, I try to remember some of the lyrics so that I can google it later and see if that brings up any useful results.

I research old chart listings and in the process of doing that, I've found hundreds of songs that I had forgotten about and even discovered ones I never knew but now love

I don't listen to the radio anymore but when I did, it was the sheer repetition of songs being played over and over that I learned them. I remember songs being played every hour or so. Some stations bragged about not repeating songs all day. They usually say what the song was and who sang it. There was a while when stations didn't do that so you had no idea who sang it but you could usually guess the name of the song by the lyrics.
