Great lyrical songs?!?

Question

i need some lyrcial songs for a dance routine frenzy with some friends....

Answer 1

First thing I would do is think of a song you like and see if the Vitamin String Quartet has done a cover of it. They've done covers for Paramore, Red Hot Chile Peppers, Panic! At The Disco, Coldplay, and several others. This is good if you want a good melody but no lyrics. Sometimes this can create a unique, emotional affect.

Other songs that are great for lyricals. Some are fast and in your face, some are slow and more ballet-based, but lyrical can be done both ways.
