How can I search for a song in a
'TITLE' database
when I'm not sure if I have the CORRECT title? |
| Well, you may have to do a bit of
detective work: |
| 1. First of all, Ask
me! I am happy to search my personal 'memory banks'
>CONTACT ME |
2. The various Performing
rights and Copyright organisations maintain on-line databases that
can be searched by author, performer, and title. This may be
helpful.
There are a few listed HERE |
3. Try entering the
words you DO KNOW into your favourite search engine, (Along with the
word 'lyric' if you like, -- that may help narrow the search)
and see what comes up.
For instance: Here I am wracking my brains trying
to remember the title of that song that had the words: "drowned
the tender reed....some thing.......something." (you know that
feeling!)
I just looked it up in my favourite search engine at
GOOGLE, and there it is, a page dedicated to the full title and
lyrics of 'The Rose' -- that Bette Midler hit from the 80's.
Ah! now I can sleep tonight. |
4. Do you know the name
of the artist / band / associated with the song?
Try searching on their name and see if you come across
something that prompts your memory, or more of the lyrics or a familiar title. |
THEN, armed with
that information, Come back to the search
pages here and try again!!!!!!
Happy Hunting, Geoffrey |
