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.
