Perfect Pitch
The Perfect Pitch Ear Training SuperCourse by David Lucas Burge has been the #1 best-selling ear training method for 30 years, and is now a classic. Independent studies at Ohio State University and the University of Calgary has proven the authenticity of the course, and personally I've made progress since starting, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. Perfect Pitch is a truly phenomenal ability, and combined with good Relative Pitch it gives you an edge over other musicians!

A-Z Lyrics Universe
This is one of the two best sites for lyrics in my opinion, no annoying popups and good quality. The downsides is that it mostly has decently famous artists, and the print function turns out wierd so it's not the best option when you need something fast. But as a rule I always search here first because of the quality and style of the lyrics.

LetsSingIt
And this is the other one, when it comes to finding more rare songs then this is better, but the quality on the lyrics isn't always as good as on A-Z Lyrics Universe. The print function is also nice if you need something fast, and looks better on paper then it does from A-Z Lyrics Universe.

SongMeanings
This is a community where musicians and music lovers contribute lyrics, shares thoughts and discusses interpretations. It's also a good place to connect over songs and artists, or float away in philosophical conversations. In my opinion it's important to understand what a song is about when you're going to record or perform it, which this site is excellent for.
