Members Telecruiser Posted February 7, 2013 Members Share Posted February 7, 2013 I am one of those stubborn old guys that refuses to use a cheat sheet (no judgement here). I challenge myself to learn songs with lots of lyrics to keep my memory in shape. Big Iron - Marty Robbins Gentle On My Mind - John Hartford You're Going to make Me Lonely When You Go - Bob Dylan Tennesee Plates & Buffalo River Home - John Hiatt Hotel California - Eagles I Am The Walrus - Beatles Man of Constant Sorrow City of New Orleans Etc., etc. You? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pogo97 Posted February 7, 2013 Members Share Posted February 7, 2013 These days I mostly perform my own songs which have very short and repetitive lyrics to suit my ageing brain. But, if anyone asked me to (they won't) I could rip off Fairport Convention's "Maddy Groves." That's long enough to include a seduction (in church, no less), betrayal, a foot-of-the-bed duel, vitriolic defiance and two murders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shaster Posted February 7, 2013 Members Share Posted February 7, 2013 I don't do much real Pop anymore so my choice is ancient. Lyin' Eyes is the longest set of lyrics I do. And since I only play it once every year or two it can be a challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Howie22 Posted February 7, 2013 Members Share Posted February 7, 2013 I guess from my setlist it's probably The Weight. I also have a tough time with Eric Church's song Drink In My Hand. It's not a long song, but it has four verses, and every chorus is different as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Potts Posted February 7, 2013 Members Share Posted February 7, 2013 Lyin eyes is a bit challenging. I need the lyrics to give me a push on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SLScott86 Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hook by Blues Traveller. But it's one of those where each line just kind of flows (or sprints) into the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
