 Topic: Songs You Have Memorized
Posted: September 18 2006 at 21:38 |
Pretty self explanatory. The longer, the more impressive, I would think.
I've memorized a few epics note for note:
Tarkus
The Gates of Delirium (up to 'Soon')
Nine Feet Underground
The Revealing Science of God
2112
Hemispheres
etc...

Arrgh. I'd forgotten about that album. Cygnus X-1 used to scare me, so I memorized it... I pretty much remember the whole album as well. Just when I thought I'd gotten off my Rush high...

While drunk at Wacken Open Air Festival in 2006, I growled and air guitared along to the entirety of The Sound of Perseverence by Death (or at least up until track 5 when someone switched it off).

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Hmmm, well I did know most of the following, until I released I've forgotten them a bit!
VdGG:
Killer
Refugees
White Hammer
Most of the Still Life album (except La Rossa's vocals)
Robert Wyatt:
Sea Song
Alife/Alifib
When I hear them I can remember them though, word for word.
Oh and most people should know: Bohemian Rhapsody (not by choice, it's just one of those songs that I know all of it!).

"Supper's Ready" I recited it for a poetry project back in high school, and I still know it. (It probably helps that I also listen to it often )

I'm horrible at memorizing anything, including song lyrics. The only song I have memorized is Holy Diver by Dio. I used to sing it all the time because I'm a loser.

I don't remember a single song really well, once I put something on and I hear the first note I know excactly what comes next, but in most if not all cases I can't remember a darn thing about any song, just by thinking about it.
closest to full remembering (if I sing it it will still take me 5:52 seonds, so I know it pretty well) is Bohemian Rhapody and we will rock you from Queen, not really impressive, but than again I'm getting older by the minute.
