Is there any good methods for bettering my memory especially with that of remembering words?


Question:
I often play open mics while I sing and play guitar, however I have a hard time remembering words to songs even ones that are my favourite or even ones that I've written. Is there any excercises or things I can do to better improve my memory in remembering words to songs?

Answers:
Gingo Biloba helps, but as a actor I found that the best way was just to keep repeating the songs over and over. It is a fact that your mind will remember anything that is repeated thirty times.
You could replete each line of the song thirty times or go over the entire song thirty times. Some times you will find that one lyric will follow the other in a logical sense. Example: I love you but you turned your back on me. Now that should be easy to remember because it's telling a story in fact most songs are story telling set to music and most people can remember stories. Another method can be to record the song and play it back as you are going to sleep. Record it over and over again several times on the tape. Don't worry about falling a sleep as you mind is still working and "recording" what your hearing into your memory.
Relax when learning - don't be tense or worry about it, just let it happen. If you push your self to hard, then you subconcious will rebel against you. Did you know that many famous singers have forgotten words to songs that had made them famous, so you not alone. You might not have heard of Bing Crosby, but he was a famous singer of yesteryear. He was known for his style of putting Bo bo bo, into his songs. Well this came about early in his career and became a stanard with him. It came about when he forgot the words of his songs and so he just adlibed with sounds insted of words.
Do crossword puzzles. (really!)
