Hah, I did something similar around ~2007 when I was at Last.fm and never got around to publishing it. Nice work!<p>This is the only example I can find lying around in my backups: <a href="http://jonty.co.uk/bits/radiohead_creep_lyricviz.png" rel="nofollow">http://jonty.co.uk/bits/radiohead_creep_lyricviz.png</a>
For those that are interested, I'm basically using lyrics-fetcher to conduct the song searches (via <a href="http://makeitpersonal.co" rel="nofollow">http://makeitpersonal.co</a>) and Springy for the core visualization.
Daft Punk's "Technologic" is entertaining:<p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/JKxZ8zC.png" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/JKxZ8zC.png</a><p>Nice work! Wish it had sharable URLs for specific songs.
That's fun, I did KC and the Sunshine Band "Shake your booty"<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/ia6RNHK.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/ia6RNHK.png</a><p>mainly just to see how many arrows would go to the word "shake"
This is cool. Thanks for sharing. I tried a long song with a lot of unique lines and the detailed view is a jumbled mess that won't stop erratically moving. See Redemption's Sapphire for an example.
Very interesting, played around a number of songs, though it seems to wig out badly on "Born Slippy":<p><a href="http://songbranch.com/?artistName=underworld&songTitle=born+slippy" rel="nofollow">http://songbranch.com/?artistName=underworld&songTitle=born+...</a>
Reminds me of infinite jukebox for endlessly playing a song without it becoming too tedious from repetition <a href="http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html</a>
Nice idea (BTW: how does it cut text into sequences of words) abut the search is crappy (I tried a few times, no results). Maybe a single search (for both author and title) with references as you type? It would be really, really helpful.
Where does the lyrics data come from? I've looked into lyrics datasets before for side projects, but copyright seems to be crippling everyone's attempts at providing them.
Really awesome work, something cool (but I have no idea how feasable) would be listening to the song while you jump around. Other than that awesome work
