[Desktop] Bring back Lyrics

[poetaccio]

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

Can we ask why you left itunes?

OMFG, it’s been a Good Idea and it’s been voted for by almost 15,000 people (these are people that cared enough to vote) and  millions more of Spotify users that want this feature. Let’s make like AARP and get this ball rolling.

Found this Gem on musixmatch, It has Spotify as a partnered company.

I am now using Apple Music because they support lyrics. I will switch back to Spotify if they provide this long overdue feature

I was using Spotify premium for 4 years, but it is time to leave. Farewell Spotify and good luck in the new year 2020.

I'm considering switching to Apple Music due to this reason. I really do love Spotify but the absence of the lyrics feature is tedious because I find myself googling lyrics a lot of the time.

An option to display the lyrics but remove Behind the Lyrics would be nice.  I personally don't want the additional information unless I'm specifically looking for it, and forcing it over a song is extremely frustrating.

Also, why was it at all a good idea to remove the lyrics from the desktop version?  Don't understand your design logic there.  Desktop versions should really have the same, or more, features not less!

Spotify don't care and aren't going to do this. might be time for change 😕
