COLLECTIONS IDEAS - Ideas for collections that you would like to see.

Songs rich in metaphors/double meanings like Hotel California. ("She's got the Mercedes bends.")

Also, can anyone tell me what kind of song or verse it is if one line uses a word, then the word or a synonym is carried to the next line and used in a different way.

Example 1, From Juanes' A Dios le pido: «Que si me muero sea de amor, y si me enamoro sea de vos, y que de tu voz sea este corazón.»

Example 2, from Andrés Cabas' Mi Bombón: «Y algo si que me supiste dar, Darme en la cabeza que ya está hinchá', Hincha del planeta, hincha del sol, Soltame las riendas, de aquí me largo yo.»

I believe both these artists are from Colombia, but surely this is done all over the world.

Thank you SO much!!

I love this kind of play on words, and now I am equipped with vocabulary which will help me search for more.

I was quite frustrated. :)

ADDING:

New word learned from Sciera, neologisms (made-up-words, Jabberwocky)

New word learned from phantasmagoria, demonym (the name used for the people who live in a particular country, state, or other locality)

New phrase, Non-lexical vocables in music (utterances which are not considered words; combination of sound, without regard to meaning; example indigenous chanting of /hiya/, also A common English example would be "la la la", "na na na" or "da da da".)

riff
refrain
metaphor (yes, I forgot the word metaphor!)

I do so appreciate your time and will put your research to good use.

Some people do not read. They skim. Consider to preface in bold or italics or all caps "I have already started these collections but request more content suggestions", or something in your own wording. Otherwise someone might say, "Good idea!", and publish the collection before you've had a chance to.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that someone would do it deliberately. Some of us skim quickly rather than reading for details.

I saw a collection about skepticism prior to the creation of this forum. Maybe it was yours! Or maybe it was a forum. But if you haven't done so already, be sure to search.

Relationships/Couples getting back together. Reunited, and it feels so good.

Admiring someone from a distance, not having the courage to tell them. Not to be confused with stalker songs.

Man cheated and now he's sorry. From man's point of view, he cheated, he's sorry, she dumped him, now he wants her back or regrets what he did.

Woman gets called out (criticized) for playing with a man's heart.

Songs about SMILES Smiles that make your heart soar, smiles that torture your heart, or any other.

We have a few small disco collections, but we need a large, Best of Disco.

One day we're sad, we need happy to cheer us. Another time we feel sad, we need sad songs to feel like someone understands. Each "twist" has potential.
