We remember lyrics because of those memories attached to them or because we've heard them more than we realize. Why is that? Why can we remember song lyrics from years ago, but we can't remember what we told someone last week? Some music psychologists say it has to do with where song lyrics are processed in our brains – that is, separately from the tune itself. It's often easier to remember the lyrics to a song we've heard once or twice than it is to remember something important, like the answers to that quiz you spent hours studying for. Maybe even a song that makes you remember where you were when you first heard it because it became an immediate favorite.
It could be a song playing in a car when we went on a first date or set out for family vacation, or a tune we'd play with friends any time we got together. What is it about a song that transports us to another place and time? Music seems to be the backdrop to so many of our memories.
