Song Meanings

This is an popup-ad-free lyrics site, that lets any user to post comments below the lyrics of a song discussing the meaning of those lyrics, or other relating factors.

Why I like this site: I'm a music lover, so sometimes I need to go online to search for lyrics or something, and the "sponsored results" or any of the sites on the results list that come up first are full of ads, I started looking for an alternative. Song meanings doesn't piss me off with ads, plus there are plenty of times where I won't understand a line of a song, or maybe the whole thing! and... the answers are there. :)

The only bad thing about this site is, it's down a lot. That bugs me, but I think they're getting it straighened out.

Pandora

This site has you choose any artist or song title, then matches up the closest matches to that specific kind of music, It's called a music genome project, that matching up process consists of how well the lyrics are written, the genre, type of instruments used, tempo, whether other users who put in the same information like the song etc. It's sponsored by iTunes so you actually listen to entire songs.

Why I like this site: It introduced me to so much music I would've never found that is exactly the type I like. The only bad thing is..a few of the songs you hear are kind of difficult to find on records or pretty much anywhere.
