Tips in Getting Lyrics for Oldies Songs

By Guy Degruy


Golden Oldies Songs - Familiarize the Tunes You Like

You cannot find similar oldies music lyrics in today's songs. Seldom can you find the new generation of singers who truly express true love through songs and minimal on ordinary radio. Singers from yesteryears created beautiful song lyrics through the help of their musicians who employed genuine instruments and not synthesizers and automatic music.

Try to listen to the oldies songs which are already 40 years old and you will discover that they used traditional instruments such as saxophone, trumpet and flute. The wordings of classic music can bring out the real feelings you have, but you cannot find the best words to say them in your own way. You will find yourself bellowing when listening to the country song of Conway Twitty because the lyrics of his songs are very truthful that you can relate it to your own life. That is the power of the lyrics of oldies music. There is meaning in the song and it utters the reality.

Majority of the present-day artists get their inspiration from the ones before them. Try to ponder what comes to your mind when you hear a classical music. Most probably, no classical songs especially love ballads are written in the past thirty years. The fast rock and roll songs are considered oldies which you cannot hear at the present day top 40 list. Much more, they don't even trail close to that of the oldies rock and roll music.

You cannot replace the music and lyrics of the classic songs. Much more, there is no alternate for the country hits, mellow music, upbeat, blue tunes, rock music, pop and Motown sound. Nearly all present artists know nothing of song and lyrics composition, what they do most of the time is to sample the songs of other writers and rearrange the piece to create their own version of it. If the late oldies writers are here, for sure they will never approve to have their songs sampled. The songs they wrote are not found in textbooks, but they are all about creativity and talent.

People like oldies tunes because of the way how the artists sang the melodies of the song. They rendered the music as if they are narrating the feelings they felt inside. During their era, they sang the lyrics straight from their heart. Regardless of what they felt inside, whether love or hate, they veritably expressed them through the lyrics of their songs, especially when love is concerned. Oldies singers express their love through the lyrics of the songs they sang. When a guy loved a lady, he expressed what he felt and he did not act as though he was a man-about-town trying to pursue all the women to be with him. There was only one woman in his life, to whom he dedicated the songs he wrote. He expressed his feelings out by singing how he felt deep in his heart.
