songfacts

• adı üstünde şarkıların öykülerini anlatan yüksek katma değerli site.
  
  şarkı ya da sanatçı ismi ile aratmak mümkün. lakin her grubun her şarkısının öyküsünü bulacaksınız diye bir durum yok. ama, olanlar zaten okuyanın ufkunu iki katına çıkaracak kadar. özellikle, çok kaliteli yorumlarla bir çok kullanıcı da katkıda bulunmuş.
  
  işin ilginci, sitenin, daha doğrusu bütün bunların nasıl başladığı:

  when did this thing start, and why?
  
  ıt started around 1997 as a database of song information for a few disc jockeys in hartford, connecticut. this was just before the big, bad corporations came in and gutted radio stations, stripping them of their souls. but at the time, the studios were a treasure trove of song information, just horribly disorganized. what would become songfacts was a database where that information was entered. ın 1999, the database went online with about 400 songs, and it gathered a small following, including some non-radio types who just liked music. the database grew quickly, and in 2002 songfacts was named a yahoo! pick, making it clear that people really do want to find out the stories behind the songs. we started hearing from the folks who made the songs: michael sembello writing in to tell us about "maniac," janis ıan sitting down to explain "at seventeen," two members of devo checking in on "whip ıt." we found that many songs had pretty elaborate and sometimes fascinating stories that were not covered in our radio materials. for instance, we heard the story of the president of foreigner's record company crying when he first heard "ı want to know what love ıs," but mick jones explained that it was the legendary ahmet ertegun, and what a huge deal it was to impress the man responsible for so much of atlantic records' success. we knew "aqualung" used a telephone effect, but ıan anderson told us why. this stuff makes us hear the songs in a whole new way and get a greater appreciation for them. art is like that.

  misal, her dinlediğimde üzerimde depresif ne varsa alıp beni kurtaran ve hayata tutunma hissi veren patron'un kusursuz hiti dancing in the dark'ın hikayesini okumak ve patron'un da aslında sözlerde depresif halinden kurtulmak için yaptıklarını, yaşadıklarını anlattığını bilmek gerçekten çok güzel.
  
  kısacası, müziğin çok daha fazlası olduğunu bilen, hisseden, bilmek, hissetmek isteyenler için gerçek kutsal bilgi kaynağı!
