CivilizedNation.com Blog

There are some exciting new developments brewing at CivilizedNation.com/music.

We now have more than 400 songs of social significance available in our database, and what's more those songs are accessible by genre.

So if you're looking for a some songs of social significance, but only in the musical genre of hip-hop, you can narrow your search just by clicking on the "hip-hop" section.

The same holds true for more than a dozen other genres as well. Rock, alternative, soul, R&B, country, reggae, oldies, etc.

At the same time, we're currently working on categorizing the songs by social issue as well, so that soon you'll be able to cross-reference songs by artist, genre AND social issue.

So, in the near future, if you want to find songs about poverty sung only by country artists, you'll be able to find exactly what you're looking for.

As always, if you look through our list of artist and our list of songs and you find that we're missing a real gem that you think should be included, don't hesitate to e-mail us the artist's name, the song title and the song lyrics. We love receiving song submissions and a good portion of the list you see right now is the result of people's participation.
