The Lyric Forum is a pretty exclusive place these days. just a handful of us writing and reviewing each others work. It would be nice to have more participation, but the main focus of this site is music composition, performance, and production, and what we lyricists are, in large part, are the ones who start with words and go from there. Words and their meanings are probably more important to us. We are "into" songs with a message. Not everyone is, and some people don't even consider the meaning of lyrics when they evaluate a song. 

But we do the best we can, and I have noticed an overall "raising of the bar" in the posts. There are some fine lyrics being posted, and each of the regular posters is getting stronger and stronger in their writing skills, particularly with regard to coherence and focus from the start of the piece to the finish. I feel the confidence levels rising, and I'm happy for all of you who are growing as writers as a result of your participation.

I too am growing, and I thank all of you who have reviewed and commented on my lyrics for participating in that growth. For those of you who haven't browsed the posts recently, I highly recommend that you do.

Thanks particularly to Kings and TonightsLastSong (TLS) for your thoughtful reviews. TLS, I hope you will post more of your own beautiful lyrics in the future.

Yes.... when the lyrics review first got launched, there were a only a handful posting there... I was one of them, along with only a few others... it took a long time before anyone else got up there, it took even longer before any quality stuff was posted there.

I am glad people like you and kings came along, personally I do not have much time to get deeply into lyrics of others (I have a lot of hobbies, not just music), so this is a reason why I hardly post there anymore.

So that's my story... But you keep it up... You're doing a good job!
