I want to write an article about a song that was sung to me when I was a child in the 1960's. I will be explaining the reasons why and how it affected me. It is a personnel experience in my life. I would like to add the lyrics in full. Can I do this as per Hubpages rules and copyright rules in general.
There are articles on Spinditty that quote entire lyrics. I would email HubPages if you're not sure, but I don't see anything wrong with it,
If it is within copyright, you can't use it. You might get away with it, but historically major music labels are the most litigious copyright holders around. I would suggest finding out if it is under copyright and who the copyright holder is.
If it is an old song in open domain then anyone can quote it in some reference otherwise it would be against the copyright.
One way is that mention the link of it if available so that person interested could navigate there to find it.
I think you can share it as a link.
You can tell the Title of the song and then link a YouTube video if you can find one that is allowed to be shared.
Like mentioned above you can always email the team at hubpages.

How does one go about selling song lyrics? (Without them being ripped off, that is.)I wrote a poem that turns out would be better as lyrics to a rock or jazz song, and I'd really like to hear it set to music. I can almost hear Garbage (Shirley Manson) or even a sassy Ella Fitzgerald-type song as I...
