Frustrated! That's me at the moment.....I had a rather short list of over 50 songs that I was trying to go through, and it got thrown in the trash by mistake! Now I have to go back and do it all again [Linked Image]
So far, the thing I've noticed most often about these "lyrics" is that a lot of them aren't "lyrics".....they're poetry, and there is a big difference. To me, a lyric needs to be conversational, so the average person can understand what is being said....a poem, on the other hand, can use poetic, obscure, unsingable, undefinable (without a dictionary) words and phrases that don't have to rhyme, and it can take a week to sort out the meaning.
The other thing I noticed, being a fanatic about spelling, is that there are a lot of misspelled words and typos. In my opinion, if a person doesn't care enough about their lyric to spell the words correctly, or fix the errors, then it isn't a good lyric. If someone sent a song in this condition to a publisher, the publisher would store it in "file 13", without even bothering to read it.
Now, back to the task at hand......hope I get my vote in on time, lol.

Thank you, Brian for the opportunity, and thanks to Ozone Pete and Blakeh and everyone else involved in this great project.
