The 433 lyrics in this catalog are free to use. Musicians, developers, designers, and fans have started building things with them — interactive lyric pages, music visualizers, custom tools, playlists, web experiments, games, and whatever else the catalog inspires.
This page is where to find what people have made, and how to add your own creation to the community. Tom has no involvement in hosting or moderating any of it. You build it, you own it, you share it.
This project runs under two brands that mean different things. Tag your work correctly:
For work based on the poems and lyrics themselves — readings, visual interpretations, lyric displays, text-based experiments, anything that puts the words front and center.
→ See #collaborhythmFor work based on songs made from the lyrics — music visualizers, audio tools, recordings, anything where someone took the words and turned them into actual music.
→ See #collabtunesWhen in doubt, tag both. They'll converge over time into two distinct communities doing two different things with the same source material.
Everything lives on CodePen — a free public platform for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No approval process. No moderation by Tom. Free forever.
Put Tom's name on it. That's it.
Credit Collaborhythm Collabtunes as the lyric source. Everything you build is yours — you own it, you control it, you profit from it. The attribution chain records your contribution permanently.
