[Desktop] Bring back Lyrics

 

Allow me to re-edit again, in premise, that thanks to all of you this idea keeps receiving votes, and I am grateful to each of you, and when I expressed this desire as an idea I was a newbie, I owe to the professionality of Marco and Toku, whom I thank again, that I became aware that this idea it’s by no means new, nor even mine but Spotify’s, yet it is properly expressed, and it is shared by enough Community members for it to be still alive, and I agree with Arcanscape that, "We really need the lyrics feature", and I just notice an excellent temporary alternative of “SpotifyLyrics” kindly programmed and provided by Mirth (fr31): https://github.com/fr31/spotifylyrics/releases (via scoobyTdog), it works very well on my Pc 🙂 and I invite you all to try it.

 

Whilst singing might be fun, I have another approach to lyrics and sound, which is of course not mutually exclusive, and I read the words to see if I like them as I enjoy the melody, if I see myself in the lyrics, if I share the values expressed, and this is easier by having the words at hand.

 

So please Spotify bring back the Lyrics Feature most elegantly -- as you did with restyling the Community -- when you find a better Lyrics Provider.

 

Reading and listening might be even better than karaoke, although not as fun 😉

and every member could always do both, even just singing, as a very close person in my family does, and many other people do.

 

Thank you for evaluating, with my warmest and most sincere Regards.

 

Marco, a poet at heart

Some lyrics available for me in android app version 8.5.68.904.

Any news on the desktop app?

Updated to same version but still no lyrics so far.

It’s been four years! Still no update. We need lyrics update!!! Does Spotify even care?

I absolutely love Spotify and it's one of the few subscription services of which I can reasonably justify the cost, however I was recently offered a free trial of Apple Music and fell in love with the library integration with purchased music, a "pay yearly" option, and especially the full-fledged lyrics feature with every song. My taste in music ranges from popular to very obscure, and even the most esoteric on the spectrum had full lyrics available. This is a feature I find myself using often and would use with Spotify daily if implemented. These features alone have changed my perspective on streaming services and force me to reconsider paying for Spotify when I can get Apple Music and the features I want. I would be overjoyed to see at least some of these features added to my favorite music source.

Trying Amazon Music HD now. Gonna drop Spotify. Even if I wind up getting out of Amazon, don't think I'll be back to Spotify anytime soon.

I totally agree. I don’t care about a songs background. I just want the lyrics.

Come on! I can see lyrics on my phone but not on the desktop app?

That's horrible inconsistent user experience!

You can see lyrics on your phone?! 😄 Lucky you!
