Welcome to Songlexicon.com – Your Time Machine to the Golden Era of Music!
Hello! I’m Edward “Eddie” Finch, a lifelong music enthusiast, proud family man, and self-proclaimed Simon and Garfunkel aficionado. With a background in English Literature, I’ve spent decades exploring the stories and cultural landscapes behind the songs we all know and love. My passion for storytelling and melody started as a teenager flipping through vinyl records, and it hasn’t waned since.
When I’m not writing about music, you’ll likely find me strumming my guitar, sharing stories with my grandchildren, or diving into the nuances of classic albums. My goal is to inspire others to not only listen to music but to truly feel it—connecting the lyrics, rhythm, and history to our shared human experience.
At Songlexicon.com, we believe that every chord strummed and every lyric sung, especially in the 60s and 70s, carried a story, an emotion, and a message that transcended time. Our mission is to unravel these musical mysteries and share the rich history behind some of the most iconic songs and artists of this golden era.
The birth of Songlexicon.com (this blog)
Founded by me/Eddie, Songlexicon.com started as a small hobby personal website but is quickly becoming an online community where fans can gather to share their interpretations of classic songs (use the comment section!).
What Songlexicon.com is about (our mission):
- Lyric Analysis: Delve deep into the lyrics of classic hits, exploring themes, metaphors, and historical contexts.
- Artist Spotlights: Get up close and personal with the legends. Learn about their lives, inspirations, and the impact they had on the music industry and beyond.
- Era Exploration: Understand the 60s and 70s not just as a time period, but as a cultural and societal revolution that shaped music forever.
- Community Engagement: Join discussions (comment on the posts!), share your interpretations, and connect with fellow music lovers who share your passion for the classics!
I normally offer more than just a lyrical breakdown; trying to provide a portal back in time. Trying to take the reader through the 60s and 70s like never before. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a new explorer in the world of classic rock, folk, and soul, this website is your gateway to understanding the heart and soul of the music that defined a generation.
