Description

Over the past few years, I came up with a few ideas for websites I wanted to start. One of these ideas was a song lyrics website for songwriters. After I decided to purchased a virtual private server, I started this simple website that serves as a platform for songwriters to retrieve lyrics for their music. As a songwriter myself, I struggled at times thinking of certain phrases. The idea was to give visitors of the site new phrases of lyrics each day to help them finish their songs or serve as a jumping off point for new songs.
