YOU DON’T LISTEN TO TIME OF YOUR LIFE AND THINK: “AH THAT’S A I – IV – V PROGRESSION IN G FOLLOWED BY A B PART STARTING ON THE VI CHORD.”
Actually, that’s exactly what I do! It’s the only way to learn complex jazz progressions, so I break them down into manageable groups.
When I memorise lyrics I often use pictures, like in Bob Dylan’s Everything is Broken. It’s such a visual song anyway, that picturing it is easier than thinking of words. Visualization is a very powerful memory tool.

and may I add: once I can sing the song comfortably with the lyrics in front of me, singing it every day, eventually mysteriously I don’t need the piece of paper anymore. But I don’t push it , cuz trying too hard just ends in lots of frustration.

THis is great. I memorize songs constantly in languages that are not my native language. listening to various people, not just the dude who had the hit, sing it, including amateurs, over and over for days – that’s number one. of course I do a word by word, phrase by phrase translation. singing along is number two. Studying the poetry is *very* helpful for memorization. repeated words, repeated consonants. forming striking mental video images of the lines, writing it down is the worst (for me) and last resort, which I avoid, but i do it sometimes.

I Don’t find learning lyrics in languages I speak (well) all that hard, but some of the songs we are singing are in fun languages like Icelandic or (of course) Italian. Any suggestions on that?
