Who is “Mad Girl’s Love Songs”

My website address is: https://www.madgirlslovesongs.com. I am an individual who blogs about my favorite music and song lyrics. I am obsessed with all things music. I listen to my favorite songs over and over again and memorize the lyrics. I know the lyrics to literally thousands of songs. My love of music crosses many different languages, genres, and styles. This blog is an expression of that passion, where I can keep track of all of my favorite music and lyrics.

I am also a website developer and I wanted to show an example of what a custom blog would look like for my portfolio. It just makes sense to blog about something that I love and spend a lot of time on. I hope you enjoy my eclectic taste in music and art and find new artists to delight you. Everything on this website is a masterpiece! I may, in the future, decide to add another blogger or editor to help moderate the website, if I find someone who is as dedicated to both music and web design as I am!
