Here it is, the song of your dreams! Perfect rhythm, catchy melody, pleasant vocals and interesting words! But who is performing this masterpiece? How not to lose it in the bustle of the day and the variety of other disturbing songs on the radio, in the supermarket and in the headphones of a neighbor on public transport? Finding out who is performing the song, according to her, is not so difficult if you remember a few simple ways. Use each of them, and your music library will thank you.
Why do songs slip away from us
Alas, according to the law of meanness, annoying compositions haunt people worse than maniacs, and really liked songs can remain incognito for a long time. This happens, as a rule, for one of the following reasons:
- When listening to you, you were so carried away by the song that you turned off rationality and gave free rein to emotions - it's so hard to tear yourself away from enjoying something really worthwhile. As a result of this, you can easily skip the artist’s announcement and track title.
- You “attacked” the song not from the beginning, but from the middle or even from the end. Often even a few seconds of listening gives us complete confidence that the entire track is a thing close to genius.
- You simply were not allowed to listen to the song to the end - a banal phone call, a meeting with a friend, the signals of cars passing by. There can be many reasons, but all of them subsequently cause the same disappointment.
- The song was performed in an unfamiliar language. Yes, many music lovers prefer only those compositions in which they understand every word. But sometimes love from the first listening knows no boundaries, including language. To find out who the songs are performed in such an interesting language (and what kind of language it is, in general) is an exciting quest with the coveted award - the name of the artist and the long-awaited replenishment of the playlist.
All of these reasons are understandable, and anyone can come across them. But how to restore justice and find an unknown hero?
We train memory
How to find out who is performing a song? The first, main and most obvious option is to strain and remember one or more lines from a mysterious composition. For greater reliability, it is worth writing down the guide lines on a piece of paper or quickly creating a note on your smartphone. Now that you have serious "material evidence", you can begin the search.
If you don’t have Internet access at hand, you can always use the help of friends, acquaintances and colleagues. This works especially well if one of them is a well-known music lover and connoisseur. Who knows, maybe you are not the only one to whom this song has sunk into the soul.
When searching for a track on the Internet, you should enter the cherished lines in the search and add the words “song”, “text” or “who sings” to the query. Typically, such requests will direct you to many repository sites of musical texts. Today, such portals are distinguished by a developed library, which is replenished daily with new compositions.
Don’t be embarrassed if the memorized text looks funny or strange - phrases taken out of context often look just like that. Try to memorize the text from the refrain: musicians pay the most attention to it by inserting the most expressive phrases and words there.
How to find out who sings a song in a foreign language
But in a similar situation, polyglots and those who studied foreign languages well at school are clearly winning. Although elementary knowledge of the Latin alphabet will provide an invaluable service here.
A large number of songs are released in English, which makes them not so difficult to search. Practice shows that it’s enough to remember two or four words from an English song to easily find it by adding the word “lyrics” to the search query.
If the song is performed in an unfamiliar language, you can still try to write it in Latin letters. Do you have philology friends? Congratulations, they can help you great!
And how to find out who performs a song in this incomprehensible language? If you heard a song on the radio, then pay attention to the station and the broadcast time. The sites of some radio stations provide information on transmitted tunes.
How to find out who performs a song in a movie
Often soundtracks are able to "pull out" the most walk-through movie. A melody at the right time and right place can work wonders. Therefore, feverish questions, like: "Who performs the song (recognize me if you can)?" or “And what song played in this series of interns?” is not uncommon.
The good news is the name of the film and the words: “soundtrack” or “OST” in the search query can quickly bring you to the desired result. If the song appeared on the series, it would be useful to remember the season, series number or its name. Even if the soundtrack turned out to be voluminous, why not listen to it in its entirety? You may find some more worthy compositions.
Forums
If you are completely desperate about how to find out who is performing the song, type in the search engine the phrase: "help me find the song." Now you have many forums and discussions at your disposal, where people help each other find catchy tunes from advertisements, clips and films. Share your problem with people or use the search - maybe you are not the only one in this case.
The advantage of such forums is that you can give a description of the song itself or a video clip, in case you did not remember the text or it was too complicated. Pay attention to other branches. What if you can help someone find peace with the composition found?
In search of the lost
Finding a song artist is only the beginning of an exciting journey into the world of the artist’s creativity. It is possible that you found your new hobby and got another reason to save money for going to concerts and buying CDs.
Unfortunately, sometimes it happens that after studying the entire discography, you will come to the conclusion that, apart from this song, you did not find anything worthy. Dont be upset! One successful song is worth a thousand unsuccessful, because it will bring you many pleasant moments.
