Let me start by saying how great this site is. On the surface it is a perfect place to find those hard-to-find lyrics that you can't get anywhere else. Scratch a bit deeper and it's an plentiful source of ideas, opinions and interpretations. Even more its a good place to discover people with similar taste in music and to see what other artist they like. An amazing site all around. This site along with Last.fm and [url=http://www.alwaysontherun.net]AlwaysontheRun[/url] make up my trifecta of music sites. If I can't find the music and lyrics I want with them it can't be found. So I finally joined up after being a spectator for almost a year. At first I didn't think I'd contribute much but already I've added an artist, Elephant Parade, and contributed 45 lyrics to the site and I've only been registered for 3 days. (It said I registered on the 10th but because of an e-mail snafu and the down time I didn't have access until the 27th.) I even commented on a few songs already. Something I wasn't really planning on doing. I really only registered to submit lyrics. Speaking of submitting lyrics I want to say I'm a newbie at this. So forgive me for any spelling grammatical or verse mistakes. I'm learning as I go along. I've been transcribing a bit for myself for a while. Two main artist I transcribed where Tina Dico and Laura Veirs, because I couldn't find their lyrics anywhere. I finally found Tina Dico's lyrics under her real name Tina Dickow but Laura Veirs' earlier work seem to be too obscure to find lyrics anywhere, so I submitted a few myself. So for the lyrics I submitted I started with Elephant Parade's Riding in Your Car. A beautifully simple song from a very new band. Next was Steve Tannen because he is an awesome artist and I couldn't figure out why he doesn't have more fans on here. It helped that his lyrics are all there on his site. Next I put up a few lyrics by Deb Talan that aren't up for some reason. Actaully the majority of the lyrics for Deb Talan's solo work is mistakely submitted under "The Weepies" which is a band she formed with Steven Tannen. I'm tempted to resubmit them under her name but I guess I should see about having them moved first. Then like I said lyrics from Laura Veirs' earlier work are non-existent so I tried my hand at them and submitted here. I know I got some of it wrong and there are a few songs of hers and Deb Talan's that I haven't submitted because I want to get them right. The songs I submitted for Laura Veirs and Deb Talan are my own transcribes and I take full responsibility for any mistakes. And finally today I found that one of my favorites, Etro Anime, didn't have any lyrics submitted for them. So I submitted them myself. I can't take the credit since all the lyrics for their album "See the Sound" are on Alwaysontherun. So if there are any mistakes I blame that site. hehe
