Find
a Song as Soon as
Possible
Know the
Music? Know the Lyrics? Tips for
How to Find Songs
Do you ever
happen to catch a snippet of a
certain tune, maybe on the radio
while driving, or in the
background while shopping, or
turned on full blast at a party?
Then
afterwards you’ll
occasionally hear it in random
places and spend a few seconds
agonizing over what the heck song
it is. And it seems hopeless to
find a song when you don’t
the artist or lyrics, and all you
have are the few words of the
catchy chorus in your head
playing over and over without a
song title to identify
with.
How to
Locate Songs
Fortunately,
there are ways to track down that
elusive song, but it’s much
easier if the song is popular at
the time. Chances are it will be,
or else you wouldn’t be
hearing it at so many different
places. One way to find a song is
to see if your friends can tell
you what it is.
Try humming
a bar or singing some words if
you were able to pick them up. Of
course, this is contingent upon
how well you can sing or remember
what you’ve been hearing.
Your friends might know the song
you’re trying to find, but
if they can’t recognize what
you’re singing, then they
can’t help you.
Do an
Online Search by a Line of
Lyric
If
you’re bad at singing, there
are other ways to find a song. If
you know a line from the song,
you can try searching by lyrics.
This works best if the line is
distinctive in what it’s
saying. If it’s another
“I love you” kind of
refrain, then it’ll be more
difficult to find the song
you’re looking for.
A Google
search might pop up some songs
and artists, and you can try
listening to them on Youtube or a
music website like imeem that
you’re a member of.
Turn on the
Radio!
If
searching by lyrics isn’t
working either, then yet another
way to find a song is to look it
up on popular radio stations like
Star 103.5. Radio station
websites have a list of the songs
that they play, and your song
could be on that list, though you
will have to sort through a lot
of songs.
If
you’re lucky, the line you
remember will have the same words
as the title of the song. Again,
you can try looking up the ones
that look promising on Youtube
and see if there’s a match.
Finding a
certain song can be difficult and
frustrating at times, but it
eventually can be done. You can
also try being more in the know
about popular music trends so
that you don’t run into this
kind of situation, and if people
want to get the words, read the
music or just find a tune,
they’ll start coming to you
first. You'll become known as the
tune man or woman.
