Hello! I'm Lyrkit!

I tried many ways to memorize English words and found the most effective one for me!

We already have all the words of the songs that we have heard throughout our lives in our memory. We simply did not pay attention to them, but we all already hear them!

I noticed that when you learn a new word from a song that you have already heard before, you already know the translation of this word forever and you will never forget it!

I want to share this method with you. So, the scheme is as follows.

We find songs that we have already heard.

We add all unfamiliar words from them.

We pass mini tests of memory games. done

Now that you know a lot of words, you will very quickly come to know the whole language!

I bet you'll be surprised how effective this method is!)

Over Alameda

 

Over Alameda

(album: The Saint Of Lost Causes - 2019)


Mama'd tell me of her hopes
And what she hoped to leave behind
And what she thought that she would find
Out in California
She'd talk about Mississippi
I still don't know how it is
That any place could be worse than this
It's hard to believe

She'd say, "Baby, if I could
Y'know I'd buy us a home
Over Alameda
Where the green grass grows"

Now when she left the Delta
It was 1966
Come to Los Angeles
She was nine years old
And there was work to be had
Grandaddy worked at Firestone
Made enough to buy a home
Out on Wilmington Avenue
Then the jobs moved out
Grandaddy died and we lost the house
Moved into the Jordan Downs
And been here ever since

Mama'd say there's something better
I'd say I know that there is
Over Alameda
Where the white folks live

So 97th and Laurel
It's all I've ever known
I'm nineteen years old
Just yesterday
And what I have seen
All I've discovered
Is there's nothing for a boy of color
But to fight

And I'll keep on fighting
'Cause they ain't licked me yet
Going over Alameda
Like Mama said

done

Did you add all the unfamiliar words from this song?
