Find Music When You Don't Know the Title

If you want to download a song, you need to know the title in order to find it in an Internet music library. In some cases, you may not know the title, but can recite some of the song's lyrics. If that's the case, use the lyrics to find out the title and download the song.

Instructions

    • 1

      Make a note of the song lyrics. Try to remember as many of the words in the song as possible.

    • 2

      Type the lyrics into a search engine. The search results should reveal the song you're looking for on a music or video website. The title is provided in the header section of the returned results.

      Use a song lyric website. Song Lyrics allows you to search for any song using the lyrics, artist or album. Put in as many lyrics as you know and it returns all the songs that contain the same phrases.

      Post a query to a lyrics forum. In some cases, an Internet search may not be enough to find the title of a song you wish to download. When this occurs, post all information you have about the song to a forum like All the Lyrics. Members will post answers to your song query.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can eliminate unnecessary search results by surrounding the lyrics in quotation marks when typing them into a search engine.

  • If you know the artist of the song, you can find the title much easier. Just browse and sample their song book online until you locate the title.

    Another helpful thing is to search Google for specific timing of the song, like for G6dfh aim for " 1968 organ radio 1 c" = I know it doesn't sound like it makes much sense but it's very effective to type in all you know in a search engine if the provided engine is not working.
