31 Oct 23 - 11:58 AM (#4186606) Subject: RE: any trouble another heartache lyrics From: Stilly River Sage moi, you've just posted well over a dozen discrete requests for lyrics or lyric cleanup. Most from a couple of groups. Would you like to tell us who you are and what you're working on? And with as much participation as we're seeing requested, I'd suggest you go ahead and join Mudcat. That gives you access to the personal message system so people can contact you with questions or answers that might need discussion before sharing in the forum. Send a note to Joe@mudcat.org and answer a few questions and he'll get you set up. He has been on a road trip for several weeks so it might not be an immediate response, but there are benefits to membership. |

01 Nov 23 - 08:28 AM (#4186607) Subject: RE: Various pop song lyrics - requests from 'moi' From: Steve Shaw I'm forever bringing up lyrics of songs on my phone for our singalongs at Bude Memory Café, but I can only do it if I know the song's title, or close to it, which is what we have not got in these cases. I suppose it depends on the songs not being too obscure. I just google *(title) lyrics*. This probably doesn't help, I know. |

01 Nov 23 - 09:02 AM (#4186612) Subject: RE: Various pop song lyrics - requests from 'moi' From: DaveRo Any Trouble are a band. Clive Gregson is a Singer. The Expressos? I've googled a few distinctive phrases (in double quotes + 'lyrics') and can't find them. But many are available on YT, Spotify, etc. It looks like somebody, probably not a native English speaker, is trying to document the lyrics. Which would be fine if it were a traditional song. |

01 Nov 23 - 09:43 AM (#4186609) Subject: RE: Various pop song lyrics - requests from 'moi' From: cnd The song names and artists are all in the subjects of the message. When they were all individual posts, it was a bit more clearly delineated. I started on the first song, "Another Heartache" by Any Trouble, from their 1981 album Wheels in Motion (click). The first set of question marks is "bedroom eyes," not sure about the second. |

02 Nov 23 - 12:52 AM (#4186602) Subject: RE: Various pop song lyrics - requests from 'moi' From: Joe Offer The requestor's method of requesting lyrics is actually quite admirable. They give the lyrics they know, the title of the song, and the performer. But we can't really handle 17 requests for pop song lyrics all in the same day, so I consolidated the requests. Please do what you can to answer these requests, even if they aren't folk songs. I didn't have time to clarify the formatting so the requests are more understandable, but I'll get that done in the next few days. -Joe- |
