Saving Quotes from Music

Hear a lyric that sticks with you? Save it to Commonplace and keep it connected to the song where you found it.

1. Find the lyrics

Most major music apps, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music, let you view lyrics while a song is playing.

Open the Lyrics section and find the line or passage you want to save.

Highlight or select the lyrics you want to save, tap Share, and choose Commonplace from the Share Sheet.

Commonplace will save your selected lyrics and automatically pull in details about the song when they’re available, including:

If your music app doesn’t let you share lyrics directly, you can still share the song itself to Commonplace.

Tap Share on the song and choose Commonplace. We’ll fill in the song details when they’re available, then you can enter the lyrics manually.

Quotes are organized by artist and song, so everything you save from the same song stays together.

Over time, your library becomes a place to revisit the lyrics that stood out across the music you listen to.

That’s it. Save the lyrics that resonate, keep them connected to the music they came from, and get right back to listening.
