Song lyrics and other musical stuff

I love doing lyric challenges. Rarely can I find them and am in the process of pulling one together for Heather's CT blog challenge. I came across this really cool site while searching for lyrics. And it has lots of other great music related stuff on it. It's called Flametune. I can see this being a boon to musicians everywhere. And with hundreds of bands and thousands of songs, scrappers can make great use of it too.

So I started looking through the thousands of song lyrics. I always like to find those songs that are inspirational to me, but a lot of times the lyrics aren't necessarily great for scrapping or challenges. So instead of looking for a song I knew, I went looking for great lyrics. I was really impressed with the selection of bands and artists that were on the site. I came across some old Van Morrison Lyrics that are just awesome. I really think that the next challenge will be from his song Sweet Thing. Don't know it? Go check out the link. In addition to the lyrics, you can get both the guitar tabs and bass tabs for these tunes by Van Morrison.

And while I would use the site mainly for the lyrics, any musicians out there could go nuts with the hundreds of guitar, bass, drum and even mandolin tabs offered. There's also a community area with forums. You can also get ring tones for your cell phone. I'm really impressed with what they have to offer such a variety of people. Make sure you stop by and check it out.
