What songs have you completely memorized?

Elton was very friendly with Molly. I was not much into his music. :slightly_smiling_face:

There aren’t many songs I’ve completely memorised but …

I know most of the stuff by the Beatles, Stones, Neil Young, Smiths & Morrissey, (all prolific writer) goes round in my head. And I remember that one Down Under, Men at Work haha.

I learnt the last two verses first …

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

then when I realised it’s actually not the complete track, I had to memorise the rest, which is dead easy: the way it plods along.

Almost all of the Top hits of the 60s, 70s and 80s. They are etched in my memory, and can sing out loud whenever they come of the radio.

Far far more than I can ever remember (title wise that is)
I often find myself struggling to find words in conversation’s with people, but play tunes from before the 90s and I will sing them word for word…
I surprise myself a lot when this happens.
From Aka’s Stranger On The Shore 50s to Queens Bohemian Rhapsody top of my head middles 70s and quite a few in between.

@Bretrick My list is far too long to state in here, but I can tell you that every song my band played has been deeply embedded into my musical memory. Also, my late evening cabaret spots had to be fully memorised or it would look odd out-front centre with word sheets in my hand :wink:

Here below is just one from my repertoire :point_right: Wings of a silver bird.

I know that I’ve stayed away for too long
I’ve missed the sweet love you give me
No other woman could warm me inside
I need you much more than I realized.

On the wings of a silverbird
I’m flying home to you
On the wings of a silverbird
I’ll soon be holding you.
So wipe all those tears away
I’m coming home to stay

Get ready my love
Just look up above
For the wings of a silverbird.

You send me letters to help time go by
I call your name while I’m dreaming.
I need to feel you I long for your touch
I wanna tell you
I love you so much.

On the wings of a silverbird
I’m flying home to you
On the wings of a silverbird
I’ll soon be holding you.
So wipe all those tears away
I’m coming home to stay

I’ll keep your picture
To kiss and say good night
But I wanna hold you forever.
So wipe all those tears away
I’m coming home to stay

Get ready my love
Just look up above
For the wings of a silverbird.
So wipe all those tears away
I’m coming home to stay

Get ready my love
Just look up above
For the wings of a silverbird.
