Songfacts is a music-oriented website that has articles about songs, detailing the meaning behind the lyrics, how and when they were recorded, and any other info that can be found.[2] [3] [4]
The journalists who work for the site have interviewed thousands of artists and songwriters to get the facts behind the songs, including Peter Murphy ,[5] Gene Simmons ,[6] Mick Jones ,[7] Ian Anderson ,[8] Brad Arnold (3 Doors Down ),[9] Billy Steinberg ,[10] Matt Thiessen ,[11] Tomas Haake ,[12] Jo Dee Messina , Marc Roberge , Bill Withers , Janis Ian , Emily Saliers .[13] Willie Chambers .[14]
The site was started by WHCN DJ [15] in Hartford, Connecticut , in August 1999. Wiser originally created the list as a database to prepare for his radio programs but then he posted it online. It was initially used mainly by DJs, but in 2002 it was chosen as a "Yahoo! Pick".[16] [13] [17]
