lyrics

Pandemics! Am I right? Not really digging this anymore so here's a fun distraction. What is the absolute dumbest, funniest, worst, weirdest couple of words you strung together in rhyme? Feel free to quote a song or go all in and rat yourself out! In my highly objective opinion (get it...

Not sure if this was already covered, but I go! I have a few that might work for me, but I can really relate the one line from Randy Meisner’s (Eagles) time Take it To The Limit. It reminds me of when I quit playing rocking 2am bars back in 2007 and solely focused on my upright. A lot of my...

Aloha kakou I'm in a new band and the set list is being put together. We have a female singer who is apprehensive about Bruno Mars' "Locked Out Of Heaven" because she feels the lyric is male-dominant and she can't get the emotion right. My last band played it with a female vocalist and I don't...

You know, I find it a little interesting that there’s no section of TB that seems really to be devoted to writing and arranging. Sure, recordings are represented (obviously since that’s where I’m putting this), along with tablature and notation, and I guess there's general instruction, but none...

Some of the artists of the 60's are revising their hits with new lyrics to accommodate aging baby boomers who can remember doing the "Limbo" as if it were yesterday. They include: Bobby Darin --- Splish, Splash, I Was Havin' A Flash Herman's Hermits --- Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Walker...

I started in a band that actually lets me use a mic! Sometimes it's hard to pick out the backup singers voices enough to hear what lyrics they are singing. Anybody know of a site or a source to find them? So far the best resource I've found is a large miss-heard lyrics site, but it's slim...

Taylor Swift Being Sued for "Shake It Off" Lyrics Beatrice Verhoeven,The Wrap Haters, they gonna hate. On Monday, songwriters for the girl group 3LW sued Taylor Swift, claiming that her 2014 hit “Shake It Off” ripped off their own 2001 song “Playas Gon’ Play.” In the complaint filed in U.S...

Acoustic Duo looking for best combination of notebook and scrolling lyrics software. Thanks

Just like the title says. Does anyone else think that songs are frequently ruined by lyrics and/or the vocals?

Where do you guys look for ACCURATE lyrics? I was just looking up some lyrics for a song. I know most of the lyrics, there are just a couple of lines that are hard to make out. I have to say, this search sure made clear how lame the Internet has become. Someone at some point must've posted a...

So my fusion trio decided to venture into prog (Steven Wilson style), and we're going to have vocals now. I have been writing novels, short stories, and poetry for years, so I decided to be the lyricist. For lyrics, I pretty much write a structured poem. But the guitarist, who is likely going to...

Is there a particular song whose lyrics just grab you? Perhaps even a line or couplet? A chorus that really stirs your soul? I'm a bit bored, and y'all are always entertaining.

Just listened to "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton. If anyone has taken the time to check out the bass, it's a tight, well-written and played track! Listen up...

Using iRealPro on my iPad has just been great when playing. But frequently someone would like to sing, and needs lyrics. I'm looking for a lyrics app for my iPhone that I can just pass to the singer when needed. But MusixMatch (which seems to be the most popular) seems very thin on Jazz...

When you are learning tunes from a chord chart with no lyrics, how do you learn the lyrics? I'm learning "All the things you are" and I have the lyrics on one document, the chord chart on another. I've looked around online and I just see a bunch products for sale, which I'm happy to purchase if...

I'm interested in how people go about learning and remembering lyrics. Is it something that comes easily and naturally to you or do you have to work hard at it? Personally, i'm terrible at it. Songs i've known for 20 years still have me struggling to remember certain passages. It's not a big...

No real surprises, but very interesting: http://gizmodo.com/a-data-scientist-crunched-the-numbers-to-find-the-most-1784628878

So, why the heck don't these generally have the measures marked out? Super easy to do in ChordPro format I think? Lots of guitards seem to be able to follow these charts but never know how many measures to play what chords - especially between verses/choruses :( .

Greeting TB!!!! I wanted to hear if anyone else who has got into the lyric writing game has struggled? I've been singing more and more recently, to the point I am the main singer in an originals band when I originally was Bass only. I really struggle to write lyric though, I can play at...

I'm wondering if any of you would know what song this is. The lyrics I can make out are as follows. "___blue eyes??___I love you ___blue eyes??___I love you Love you in the Spring and Fall ___blue eyes??___I love you ___blue eyes??___I love you I love you most of all" It's a long shot but I'm...

I was having this discussion with some musical friends and even a lot of musicians I know don't seem to know much lyrics, mostly just a chorus or a verse here and there. My first musical adventure was in Hip-Hop/Rap where the lyrics have more importance than the music. It's something I held on...
