| How to Memorize Lyrics of a Song Posted: 08 Jul 2021 05:00 PM PDT We've all been there: you've got a concert, a recital, or you just want to make sure you remember the right words to a song. Not to worry. There are actually a bunch of proven and useful strategies you can use to help drive the lyrics home so you won't forget them when the big moment comes. To make it easy for you, we've put together a handy list of things you can do to help memorize lyrics. [Edit]Use the start lines to help remember the verse. - The verses are often the trickiest parts to memorize. The start lines are the first lines of a section of lyrics. Most songs are broken down into sections such as verse, chorus, and bridge. The verses are usually the toughest to remember because they're only repeated once (as opposed to a chorus which is often repeated throughout the song). Focus on remembering how each verse starts and it can help you remember the rest of the words that follow.[1]
- This is especially helpful for longer songs with lots of verses. Use the first lines to help trigger your memory.
[Edit]Try to form an emotional connection. - Think about how the lyrics make you feel to help remember them. We often tend to remember things that affect us emotionally, and music is no exception. When you're memorizing the lyrics to a song, think about how the words make you react and what kind of emotions you're feeling. It may make it easier for you to remember the words.[2]
- For instance, if you're trying to remember the lyrics to a song like Dolly Parton's "Jolene," think about the melancholy and sad emotion the song conveys to help you remember the words.
[Edit]Create a short movie in your mind with the lyrics. - Visualize the words and it'll help you remember them. Many songs follow a narrative structure or tell a story (love, loss, a happy memory, etc.). Try visualizing the story that the song is telling as you memorize the words and practice singing it. Picturing a movie with the lyrics may help you better remember them.[3]
[Edit]Sing the song as you're falling asleep and when you wake up. - It can help drive the words into your subconcious. Make the lyrics the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and the first thing you think about when you wake up. Sing them in your head or out loud. Drive the lyrics deep into your subconscious and it'll make it much easier for you to remember (maybe even impossible to forget).[4]
[Edit]Focus on the rhyme if there is any. - Use the sounds to help you remember the words. If the lyrics use a lot of rhyme, listen to the way the words sound. Remember the rhyming sound as you memorize and repeat the lyrics to help your mind absorb them.[5]
- Think of the rhyming sounds as signposts that can help guide you through the lyrics.
[Edit]Print out the lyrics and sing them out loud. - Repeat the words over and over to help remember them. It may seem obvious, but one of the best ways you can help drive the lyrics of a song into your memory is through repetition. Print or write out the lyrics and sing them over and over. Sing them to the music or sing them to yourself. The more you practice, the better you'll remember them.[6]
- It's also helpful to have a printout of the exact lyrics so you aren't accidentally saying something incorrectly.
[Edit]Pronounce and articulate each word and phrase. - Go slowly and divide the words by their syllables. As you're singing a new song or a song you want to memorize, take your time and sound out each word slowly. Break the lyrics down into syllables and really enunciate each of them. It can help your mind absorb them more effectively.[7]
[Edit]Repeat the words one line at a time. - Memorize the first line and sing it out loud, then learn the second line. Move through the lyrics slowly and sequentially. Focus on memorizing the words in the first line, singing them out loud until you feel like you've got it. Then, memorize the lyrics of the second line and sing the first and second line together. Continue through the song until you're singing every line.[8]
- This strategy can help you build momentum and get used to the progression of the lyrics, which can help them stick in your mind.
[Edit]Write the lyrics down over and over. - It can help make the lyrics stick in your mind. Just like writing out classroom notes can help you retain the information, writing out lyrics can help you remember the words. Grab a notebook or a sheet of paper and write out the lyrics over and over until you feel like you'll remember them. Repeat the practice a few times a day to really drive the words deep into your memory.[9]
[Edit]Play the song on repeat. - Listen to it as often as you can so it's present in your mind. If you're trying to memorize the lyrics to a song that's already been recorded, take advantage of the recording! Play it in the car, while you're making lunch, or when you're running on the treadmill. Surround yourself with the song and it'll be impossible for you to forget the words.[10]
- Try singing the lyrics in a wacky way with weird pronunciation and rhythm. It can help make the words stick.

| How to Remove Glue Stains Posted: 08 Jul 2021 09:00 AM PDT Glue can be a real pain if it gets on something it's not supposed to! Don't worry, though, most glues will come up with a bit of work. Try out different methods depending on the type of glue and the surface; what works on one may not work on another. No matter what solvent you use, make sure to test it out first in an inconspicuous place to make sure it won't damage the material. [Edit]Removing Superglue - Dab soapy water if you spilled superglue on carpet. Dampen a rag with dish soap dissolved in warm water. Pat the carpet with the rag to work on the glue. Try not to get it too wet. Once most of the glue is gone, pat it dry with a clean cloth.[1]
- Repeat the process as needed to remove the glue.
- Apply acetone to clothing items with superglue. Get a bit of acetone on a clean rag. Place a towel behind the fabric and then pat at it with the acetone. Keep dabbing at until the glue is gone. Then, once you've completely removed the superglue, wash the piece of clothing as usual to remove the acetone.[2]
- Nail polish removers traditionally have acetone, though some removers are acetone-free. Check yours before attempting to use it.
- You can also try applying laundry detergent to the stain and letting it sit a few minutes before washing.[3]
- Mix baking soda with coconut oil to get superglue off of skin. Stir together a dime-sized amount of coconut oil with an equal amount of baking soda. Once it's thoroughly mixed, rub the mixture into the skin where the superglue is and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then, after 15 minutes, wash your skin with soap and water to remove.[4]
- You can also try other vegetable oils by themselves or even petroleum jelly or antibiotic ointment. The oil may be enough to dissolve the glue.
- Rubbing alcohol may also work.
- Scrub durable materials with fine sandpaper. If other solutions haven't worked, try rubbing fine grit sandpaper gently over the area. Just be sure not to dig into the material below. Use a light touch and fine grit sandpaper if possible.[5]
- You could also try to scrape it off with a razor blade, though this has an even higher chance of damaging the surface if you aren't careful.
- Rub a melamine sponge over less durable materials. Lightly wet a melamine sponge and scrub the area in a circular motion. Keep scrubbing until the glue is all gone.[6]
- Melamine sponges help remove stains and things like glue with light abrasion, working somewhat like fine sandpaper. However, they usually leave the surface unharmed.
[Edit]Taking off Sticker Residue - Remove sticker residue from cotton and other natural fiber clothes with acetone. Lay the clothing out flat and put a towel (paper or fabric) beneath it. Wet a washcloth with acetone and rub at the glue until it's gone.[7]
- Take sticker residue off of synthetic fibers like spandex with the freezer and dish soap. Start by putting the clothing item in the freezer for at least an hour. Then, once the glue has hardened, pull the item out and peel off as much glue as you can. Use warm water and dish soap to remove the rest. When you're finished, let the clothes sit in warm water for 20 minutes, then wash as usual.[8]
- Use oil to remove adhesive from plastic. Dip a cloth in any type of cooking oil, such as vegetable oil or olive oil. Pat at the adhesive with the oil and then let it sit in for a few minutes. Once it's soaked through, use a clean rag to wipe off the residue. Continue as needed, then clean the plastic with soap and water.[9]
- You can also use a moisturizer or mineral oil.
- Place glass bottles in warm, soapy water to remove labels and stickers. Fill the sink or a large bowl with warm water and a few drops of dishwashing soap. Stir it around to mix it together. Set the bottle in the mixture, making sure the label or adhesive is underwater. Leave the glass for a few hours, then remove and clean as usual.[10]
- If you can leave it overnight, that's even better.
[Edit]Removing School Glue or Other Household Glues - Scrape glass, wood, and other surfaces with a plastic putty knife. If you have big globs of glue, try to get as much as you can up before you try solvents. Scrape at the area with a putty knife until you've gotten up as much as you can. You can also try peeling the pieces off with your fingers if they're large enough.[11]
- Picking at the glue with your fingers works especially well if the glue residue is on carpet or fabric.
- Use water and detergent to get school glue out of carpet. Mix a few drops of laundry detergent into a cup of water. Then, dip a clean rag into it and lightly dab at the carpet until the glue comes up. Use clean water to remove the detergent.[12]
- Try not to get it too wet. Dab at it with a clean towel when you're done.
- For clothing, just throw it in the wash with normal detergent.
- Apply acetone to stubborn stains on most surfaces. If the glue is harder than school glue and won't come up, dip a rag into acetone. Dab the glue with the rag, then continue applying acetone until the stain comes up.[13]
- Be cautious when applying acetone to wood surfaces, since it may take the finish off. Test an inconspicuous area first.
- Use a blow dryer to release glue from wood. This works best for globs of glue. Place the dryer on its lowest setting and hold it over the glue for about 15 seconds. The glue globs should be soft enough to peel off the wood with your fingers or a putty scraper. Remove what you can, then repeat as needed.[14]
- This also works for stickers.
[Edit]Lifting Epoxies - Dab at epoxy with acetone before it sets. Dip a clean rag in acetone and run it over the wet glue. Try to work at the glue as fast as you can, as you don't want it to set before you get it up.[15]
- Two-part epoxies tend to set very hard, so it's best to get it up before it dries if you can.
- Try methylated spirits on epoxy if acetone doesn't work. Dampen a clean cloth with the methylated spirits. Then, rub at the epoxy in a circular motion, working quickly to get it up before it sets.[16]
- Rub the area with sandpaper or a melamine sponge if the glue is already set. Try a melamine sponge first. Dip it in water and go over the area in a circular motion. If that doesn't work, move on to fine grit sandpaper. Keep working at the area until you get the glue up.[17]
- You may need to start with heavier sandpaper if you have a big spill.
- Always test your cleaner in an inconspicuous place first to make sure it doesn't harm the material.
