How Do Singers Remember All Their Song Lyrics

Do singers remember all their song lyrics? As they have dozens or even hundreds of songs?

Having been in a few bands : yes and no.Yes, singers remember the lyrics of all the songs they are playing live at the time : while on tour, bands play the same set of songs at each gig, so that's 20 songs max to remember.No because amongst dozens of songs, they only play a few. If they don't rehearse a song for a while, of course they will begin to forget the lyrics (but it will be very quick to remember if need be).20 songs may seem a lot, but there is a few reasons they manage to do it :They often have written the lyrics themselves, that helps a lot to remember themThey rehearse of course. Dozens of times with the band, a lot more alone (you have to know the song to sing with the band). In the end, they don't even think about lyrics, it comes naturallyMusic is a very good memory trigger, singing on music is far easier than reciting poetry for exempleBut keep in mind that singer aren't the only members of the band ! Other musicians know each note of each song. And often (not always), that's a lot more work than the singer

How do singers remember all of the lyrics to their song?

So, I was wondering how do they remember all of the lyrics to their songs when they have like 20+ songs to remember? Especially, the ones that they didn't write themselves. Like how could they remember all of the lyrics to 20 songs and perform them in one night, like in a concert tour? Like many famous singers they release out a song 5 years ago and than 5 years later they perform it and they still remember all of the lyrics to their old songs at the same time of their newer songs. How do they do that? Do they always remember them, or just when they have to perform? Like they release a new song right now, but than as the years goes by their newer song get popular and as their newer songs are getting popular do they still remember all of the lyrics to all of their older songs or do they just remember it when they have to?

How do musicians remember the lyrics of all their songs they sing in concert?

Here’s the real answer: Analysis and interpretation, combined with the correct placement of the perfect rhymes (usually at the end of each line, but sometimes placed internally in the middle of lines).A well-written lyric is extremely easy to memorize, because it makes sense, in terms of chronology of events, storyboarding or the development of sentiments, and because it will also have a very strong rhyme scheme, which makes it almost foolproof to perform.A poorly-written lyric might be more difficult to memorize, but you can always rely on the melody to remind you what the “sound” of the lyric is supposed to be in each verse.If a singer or singer/songwriter is taking their performance seriously, they will spend time analyzing and interpreting the lyrics, so that they can internalize the song’s meaning and “sell it” to their audience. For example, if the lyric is about being hurt, the singer should interpret the lyric through his own experiences of being hurt. Kinda like acting choices…Lastly, if you’re actually the songwriter and/or the recording artist of a song, recording it in the studio really helps plant it in your head. You might go for several takes, over and over. Or you might go for one verse, over and over, which results in memorization. THEN you’ll be at the mix session, where you hear the song, literally, HUNDREDS of times, before it’s finished!

How do you remember lyrics of songs so easily?

No answers saying because they try to memorize them because that's the question how do singers memorize lyrics of songs so easily even maybe only 2 or 3 days and i mean ALL OF THE LYRICS of the song not just a couple lyrics...

What are the tactics which singers use to remember so many songs?

As other people have said, I don’t use any special tactics to memorize the words to songs, I simply sing them over and over until the words are just there, waiting to come out. That happens whether I’m just singing along with a song playing on the radio (or whatever), if I’m trying to learn the song from a book or some other person, or even if I write one of my own.If I go long enough without singing a particular song, I might forget it, but usually it just takes a couple of false starts or mistakes as to the order of verses before I’ll recover it.That said, I have to admit, it surprised me a few years ago when I discovered I still remembered all of the lyrics to Don McLean’s American Pie after about ten years of not hearing or singing it.

How do singers quickly remember their lines?

The brain is triggered by a sequence of motions, events and practices stimulated by wrote actions. The best way I know is to write the lines out long hand. When you do this you memorise the words to your long term memory. The right hand writing triggers your left brain to remember. If you are left handed its fine the right side of the brain will add the lyrics to your long term memory as well.

How do opera singers remember their lines?

I guess in the past ( Verdi's time) performers memorized all the dialogue, and nowadays when performers forget the lines what do they do? Are there electronic devices that the audience does not see? Anyone in the Opera bussines knows the answer.

How important is it to remember the lyrics of any song if you want to learn drumming?

Maybe not the lyrics, but listening to the vocals (and playing to them) can add a dimension to your drumming. This is one of the things I always loved about Keith Moon. He often played to the vocals in songs. A very easy example to recognize is “Behind Blue Eyes”. Moon will play fills to follow the lyric “….if I swallow anything evil, stick your finger down my throat, if I shiver please give me a blanket, keep me warm let me wear your coat…” and then switch to a more conventional (for Moon) during the space between lines. This is the opposite of what most drummers would do, who would lay back during the vocals and fills during instrumental portions. It is one the non conventional techniques Moon used that really gave him his sound.
