Pandora.com

Listening to Pandora.com... Love the site! http://www.pandora.com/

How does Pandora work?
"­Pandora relies on a Music Genome that consists of 400 musical attributes covering the qualities of melody, harmony, rhythm, form, composition and lyrics. It's a project that began in January 2000 and took 30 experts in music theory five years to complete. The Genome is based on an intricate analysis by actual humans (about 20 to 30 minutes per four-minute song) of the music of 10,000 artists from the past 100 years. The analysis of new music continues every day since Pandora's online launch in August 2005. As of May 2006, the Genome's music library contains 400,000 analyzed songs from 20,000 contemporary artists. You won't find Latin or classical yet: Pandora is in the process of developing a specialized Latin music Genome and is still deep in thought about how to approach the world of classical composition.


When you arrive at Pandora.com, the first thing you see is the player, which is pretty sweet. It's Web-based (no download), minimalist and seamless.
Pandora.com is our interface with the Music Genome Project database. All you do to get started is type a song or artist into the main field of the player. If we type in, say, "Ben Folds" and click the "create" button, we've created a radio station called "Ben Folds Radio" that will only play songs with similar musical traits to Ben Folds' songs."

Jem's song, "It's Amazing" off her CD Down to Earth

Lyrics:

Do it now


You know you are

You feel it in your heart

And your burning and wishin



At 1st wait, it won't be on a plate

Your gonna work for it harder and harder

And I know cause I've been there before

Knockin on door with rejection (rejection)

And you'll see cause if it's ment to be

Nothing can compare to deserving your dream



[Chorus]

It's amazing it's amazing all that you can do

It's amazing it makes my heart sing

Now it's up to you



Pactents now frustration in the air

And people who don't care

Well it's gonna get you down

And you'll fall (fall)

Yes you will hit a wall

Get back up on your feet

And you'll be stronger and smarter



And I know I've been there before

Knockin on door wont take no for an answer

And you'll see cause if it's ment to be

Nothing can compare to deserving your dream



[Chorus]

It's amazing it's amazing all that you can do

It's amazing it makes my heart sing

Now it's up to you



Ooo-ooo-ooo

[electric voice]



It's amazing it's amazing all that you can do

It's amazing it makes my heart sing

Now it's up to you



It's amazing it's amazing all that you can do

It's amazing it makes my heart sing

Now it's up to you

Ahh-ahh-ahh
