This Song is a web application designed to offer AI-powered lyrical analysis. Utilizing artificial intelligence, This Song allows users to delve deeply into the meanings and nuances of song lyrics.
The process begins when a user searches for a particular song. Upon selection, the application promptly checks a comprehensive, cloud-hosted database that houses detailed descriptions of thousands of songs across various genres and eras.
In the event that a song's description is not readily available in the database, This Song employs a GPT model to analyze the lyrics. This AI-driven interpretation provides users with an immediate rich, insightful analysis of the song's themes, context, and artistic nuances. Additionally, this newly generated description is saved in the database, continually enriching the repository and enhancing the user experience for future queries.
One of the standout features of This Song is its ability to present concise summaries of songs' meanings. These summaries are easily accessible, allowing users to grasp the essence of a song by exploring albums or curated Spotify playlists. This feature is particularly beneficial for music lovers who wish to gain a deeper understanding of their favorite records or explore new genres with informed guidance.
This Song is currently in the process of obtaining approval from Spotify to transition to a production environment. This upgrade, expected to be completed within several weeks, will introduce a new dimension of interactivity and convenience. Once approved, users will have the option to log in with their Spotify accounts. This integration will unlock the capability to analyze lyrics from songs that are currently playing, as well as the user's top tracks or those in the user's recent play history.
This project was built using React via Next.js, using a Node.js backend with Express and MongoDB. The lyric interpretation system is hosted on AWS.
