How To Find Lyrics By the Artist

Music is such an important aspect of everyone’s lives. While it is true that not everyone likes music, those who love the fusion of sound and words appreciate a song more if they know its meaning. Singing along with the music, however, entails knowing the lyrics. Looking up lyrics by the artist is not such a difficult task if you want to find the words of a song or songs. Take a peek at some useful tips below.

Step 1

Do an online search. Go to the music websites that offer lyrics by the artist. There are many such sites including Hot Lyrics, AZ Lyrics, and Endless Lyrics. Once you are on the site, type in the title of the song in the search box. It will then search for the lyrics by the artist in its data base. Alternatively, do the reverse and look up the name of the artist. It will then show the songs recorded by the singer. From there, you can search for the lyrics by entering the song title.

Step 2

Find lyrics by using search engines. If nothing comes up on the music and lyrics websites that you visit, use normal search engines to look up the lyrics by artist or song title. The search engines will scour the entire world wide web until it finds a complete or near match to your query. However, this could be a painstaking process and involves scrolling down to several pages till you find the results that you want.

Step 3

Use music recognition apps. Your phones, computers, and media devices can also help in looking for lyrics by using voice recognition. Applications and software are available that you can install on your computers or download on your phones and portable music players. You simply activate the app when a music plays and a search is carried out to look for the lyrics. Examples of these music recognition apps and software are Midomi and Shazam.

Step 4

Tap video and media sharing sites. You can also find lyrics by using video and media sharing sites such as You Tube. In addition to posting music videos, there are also users who post the lyrics of the song to make it easy for viewers to listen and even sing along.

Step 5

Try Musipedia. If there is a Wikipedia, there is also an equivalent resource site for music. You can try to find the lyrics by using Musipedia. The great thing about the site is that it doesn't matter if you know the artist or the song title at all. It will search for the lyrics when you hum parts or bits of the melody. It identifies the song and the lyrics. There are several ways to find the lyrics by doing a keyboard search, microphone or rhythm search. If you decide to find the lyrics by singing or whistling on the mic of your computer, make sure that you sing or whistle in the same pitch so that the melody can be recognized.
