http://www.songmeanings.net is one of my favorite sites. Not only does it provide you with lyrics in an easy-to-navigate way, BUT it displays peoples interpretation (underneath the lyrics) of the song - what they think the meaning is. Sometimes people give accounts of what the actual musician/songwriter said about the lyrics. Also, people relate what the lyrics personally mean to them and their life. I love reading through them, many times my interpretation of a songs lyrics is completely different from everyone else's. It just goes to show how one piece of music can have a wide variety of meaning - depending on the experience of the listener.
Here are the links to a few songs we will be featuring:
Ghost Song - Jim Morrison
