I memorize lyrics first and then the notes.
I don't do that on purpose, it just is.

It is because I focus more on the story the song is telling rather than the melody, I think.
I love songs with lyrics that makes me think about a whole story of the song.
There is my favorite song that reminds me of a scene someone is standing in front of a door his lover lives in, and just cannot go in because of a reason.
and at the chorus part, it reminds me an image of pouring rain to the scene.

I like this kind of songs.....
the melody goes well/ matches well with the atmosphere of the story.

That's why I like the ost musics of dramas and musicals I think
Because they reminds me the scene and the story clearly
