Number of swap partners:	2
Description:
I've discussed with my husband that there are people who listen to music for the rhythm/beat and those who listen for the lyrics. (He belongs in the first category, I in the second.) This swap would be for those who feel they belong more in the lyric category. If you find yourself searching for lyrics online than this is for you. If you are one of those people who read the cd inserts line by line than this is for you. If you at times shake your head at poorly written songs or musicians that become famous based on fluff music than this is the swap for you. Basically, put together a mix cd of songs with lyrics that you love. Minimum of 15 songs. One cd to 2 partners. Include a track listing with song name and artist. Part 2 of the swap? Include an extra page in the swap. On this page: for each song, include at least some of the lyrics. It need only be line or two. But, it needs to be one of the sentences in the song that grabs your attention, whether it be an emotion it evokes or the poetry in the lyrics. No recent no-sends. And, please doublecheck to make sure that your cd works before sending it out.

Cool idea, I think women tend to listen to the lyrics more and the guys more so for the music, one of my ex's was the same way! Great idea for a swap!

I am so sorry to have to drop, but I am paring down my swaps a bit. I am hosting and participating in a lot of swaps right now that already have partners assigned so those that haven't assigned yet I am dropping so I can focus on the other swaps :-( I hope you have another one like this again in the near future as I would love to join that one! Thank you!

Man, I WISH I could join this swap, but I'm reluctant to have a CD burner.

I would totally join this in the future. Right now I'm playing catch up with my swaps due to life happening...

can I ask if the tracks in the cd have to be in any particular format? cos I've made them all mp3 format! :s

ccap 02/26/2009 #

shalomdanielle, it doesn't matter to me what format they're in.

perfect time to be at the library--cd's to find to burn for this swap (i have to use their internet anyway, i can burn cd's at home)

yay, i'm excited for this swap! the question i get the most when people listen to music i like is "yeah, but how do you dance to it?" UGH! haha.

I'm burning mine as audio CDs to allow for wider use, but I'm cool with either format.

By the way, is there a rule about swear words? One of my songs has one, but it's in context, not just in there for the sake of it.
