With music there are many different ways of generating.

Some of them are: hearing the song in your head, muscle memory (singing and with different instruments), remembering the chords, being able to play in one key versus any key.

To remember a song robustly, it helps to use these different kinds of memory to reinforce each other.

It's really weird when my fingers 'remember' how to play something but 'I' don't.

It's really frustrating when I know how to play something but I can't get my fingers to do it.
