Songza was a free music streaming and recommendation service for Internet users in the United States and Canada.
Stating that its playlists are made by music experts, the service would recommend it's users on various playlists based on time of day and mood or activity. Songza offered playlists for activities such as waking up, working out, commuting, concentrating, unwinding, entertaining, and sleeping. Users would vote songs up or down, and the service will adapt to the user's personal music preferences. Users would find playlists not just based on artists, songs, or genres, but also based on themes, interests, and eras, such as "90s One-Hit Wonders", or "Music of Fashion Week".
Songza was headquartered in the Long Island City neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City, New York.
On December 2, 2015, Google announced Songza will merge into Google Play Music on January 31, 2016.
Amie Street acquired Songza, a product created by Aza Raskin and Scott Robbin, in October 2008. In August 2010, Amie Street was sold to Amazon for an undisclosed amount. Shortly after this the co-founders – CEO Elias Roman, COO Peter Asbill, CPO Elliott Breece and CCO Eric Davich – refocused their efforts on Songza. The team discontinued the original version and relaunched a new alpha version of Songza, keeping nothing of the original product but the name.
There are lots of signs in life
some that you may not like
you could be living this minute
the next minute your gone away aye
Hold up your heads my brothers
Be conscious, my sisters
And by your works you shall surely be paid aye
Chorus:
(Never...)
Never try to dis the man with the angle
(Ever...)
the one whose got the title
The one who sits high and he looks down low (aye, aye)
(Never...)
And if you ever dis the man with the angle
(Ever...)
the one who got the title
then you'll be someone that he dont know
Say a prayer and chant a psalm
Prayer that can keep the evil calm
You dont have to go to church and be a christian to call on Jah name
(Hallelljah)
Shout out the name Jahovah in the Valley
(Jahovah)
Shout out the name Jahovah on the Hills
(Hallelljah)
Shout out the name Jahovah on the Plains
(Jahovah)
Or even if it rains
Call on the name (Amen)
Call on (Amen) Jah name the same
Call on the name (Amen) yea (Amen)
CHORUS
Listen up, I no time skin-up
Time is short and Life is precious aye
Listen up, I no time skin-up
Life is short no time is precoius
You got to have the heart of a lion
if you want to reach mount Zion
You can never be afraid
just calll on his name
Life is no game...
(Life, Life, Life is no game)2x
Life is no game
(Life, Life, Life is no game)
CHORUS
There are lots of signs in life
Some that you may not like
You could be living this minute
The next minute your gone away aye
HOLD UP you heads my brothers
BE Conscious my sisters
And by your works you shall surely be paid ye, aye
