The Lyrics Prize 2022
Oh no! The Website that this page refers to is GONE! I’m keeping this here in case something with all the lyrics opens up again, but all those links to the Virtuality site are dead. 🙁 The YouTube video is still there, though!
This page pertains to the list of winners of this amazing contest! Get more information and see all the lyrics at https://www.virtuality.blog/the-lyrics-prize-concert/ .
What that page does not do is tell you the original song that each new one comes from! So here they are in the same order. (The time in the front gives you the location on the concert video on YouTube; clicking the title takes you to that song on the Virtuality page; to the right of each item is the original name and artist linked to the song on YouTube.)
