Song Finder (By Lyrics) – Quick, Easy, Fun

Do you know a few lyrics but don’t know or can’t remember the song? Infuriating, isn’t it! Don’t despair, our free song finder tool below will help you out.

Here’s how it works:

Simply type any words you remember from the song in the search bar below, and hit “search”. When you see a likely candidate, click on the result, and the lyrics and video for that song will appear. That not the one? Hit the “Back” button and try again.

Search
Search results will show up here.

Remember, if you can’t identify the song, try a few variations of the words and keep searching (it doesn’t cost you anything!).

We’ve helped soooo many people find songs that other apps couldn’t, check out the comments at the end of this article for all the love.

How Does Our Song Identifier Work?

Well, this song search app is hooked up to a huge music database and matches your words to what’s in there at lightning speed.

Pretty neat, eh!

By the way, this song identifier gizmo only works for lyrics at the moment (not audio). If you’d like us to add an audio capture feature, or anything else for that matter, then drop us a comment below.

Hope you find what you were looking for 🙂 We love to hear about successful finds, so be sure to drop a comment when you do.

  4. Does anyone know the hip hop song from 90210 back in the 90’s. Some of the lyrics are, “I’ve been waiting so long for the good life… am I dreaming… there’s a time, there’s a place, there’s a reason” they play it in several episodes but Shazam can’t find it

  5. Thank you sooo much! I’ve had this song I can’t find and it’s been driving me crazy! This website is awesome 👌

  6. Still, nope, can’t find a song. Watch the 2011 Women’s World Cup trophy presentation, what is the song playing over the stadium loudspeakers as the 2011 Japan’s women’s team hoists the trophy and celebrates their world cup victory? Shazam fails, people were asking in comments on YouTube clips, but nobody seems to have the answer. And no, it’s not that year’s FIFA anthem, or a song for the men’s team, or song from Jekyll & Hyde that happens to include the lyrics “This is the moment,” etc.

  7. I’ve been trying to remember the name of my favourite song since I was a kid for over 4 years, I tried countless websites and nothing worked, until I tried this one, bursted into tears I was that happy, thank you so much!

  8. I am very impressed and pleased with your search site. Had this song running through my head but didn’t know the title and as it turned out, didn’t have the lyrics right.
    Your search engine came up with my song and the correct lyrics where 6 or more other sites failed. You are doing a great service for everyone and most likely contributing to many people’s mental health and World Peace for all!
    Thank you!

  10. still looking for 2 songs I found on the radio if anyone has any ideas let me know,

    1st song – is kind of a weird almost grunge song but with autotune and kinda gives off insanity vibes a bit, and the only lyric I remember is something like “take my hand and fall into ___” and the blank I think is something simular to the word abyss? also there were parts with shouting i think

    2nd song – a very weirdcore song with an odd vibe, lots of ah ah ah’s (decending) and kind of an etheral otherworldly weird sound, all over it and I remember 1 part theres “shine like your own serial star” (idk if the word serial is right but thats what it sounded like, could also be super)

  13. I’m looking for a particular song. I heard it on Love & Hip Hop season 6 episode 7 Titled: Somebody’s Husband. The first lyrics: everything I have keep hold, I water dreams and nothing ever grows, the chorus: and I’m drifting high high. Repeat….the chorus. Second chorus Water the bridges that’s all I know. It’s a woman sing the song I can’t find it. Need help please…..

  16. Ive been looking for a song for 25 years that was a B side on a 45 record my dad had when i was very young, like 5 or 6. the chorus went like this: My friend joe, how could he, about the rotton games that they play there. Now that they got him, they start him at the bottom, and they make dam sure that he stays there. Id sure appreciate help in solving this very long running mistery.

  17. Hi Ged:

    I have been searching for this song for about a decade without success. The second verse and chorus follow. I hope you may help.

    Round the throne they’re singing
    Hallelujah Amen
    Alpha and Omega
    He’s the beginning and the end

    The Cherubim
    The Seraphim
    Cry only to Him
    Crying Worthy, Worthy
    The elders bow down
    Casting their crowns
    As heaven resounds
    Crying Holy Holy, Holy is the Lord.

  19. Oh my goodness, this is incredible!! Heard this short part of a song in a documentary, searched and searched in all the well-known lyrics databases: nothing! Came here – took three trys and now I know song and artist and can listen to it until the end of time. I am HAPPY!

  20. just listened to the second episode of a podcast series from which I heard maybe 20 seconds of an intriguing song. neither Google nor duck duck Go revealed the artist or title. could have easily been a wild goose chase had I not found this page. thanks

  21. I know the song, but only some lyrics, I would like to know them all.
    The song is:-
    The Man I Love by Harry Carroll from the 1933 film Dance Girl Dance.
    The film is on Youtube but has very poor quality and it’s difficult at my advancing years to make them out.
    This beautiful song has haunted me since I first saw the film in early 50s.

  22. I do really like this, it’s been really helpful at times.
    Buuuut..I do wish there were perhaps more filters, to choose a Genre or Decade. Sometimes all I get are Rap songs when I know I’m looking for a Pop song or Rock song.
    Thank you though 🙂

  24. I never get a song in my head except this one time and it’s been there for months until now. The song is China Grove by the Doobies Brothers and I could only remember a few words but your finder found it for me. Thanks.

  25. Heard a song today that I’d never heard before. Could only remember a few lyrics. Tried what I thought might be the song on youtube and no go. Found this site through DuckDuck and bam! Found it and it was a shock who the artist that performed it turned out to be. Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs! It must have been before he had his hits of Wooly Bully and Little Red Riding Hood. It sounded nothing like them. Thanks. Booked marked this site for sure!!

  26. Thank you so much for helping me keep my sanity. I have wanted to hear a song from my childhood for at least 5 years. Using your site, presto! In 2 minutes flat

    Thanks again for helping me!

  27. Can’t seem to get any output from the finder. I put lyrics in, and click search, but it just doesn’t seem to give me anything. Is there anything I am doing wrong on my end?

  28. Hi! I’ve been looking for this song for a while. It’s from Forever 2014 episode 2 near the end. I’ve looked on a lot of different ‘find the song’ websites, even here, and nothing has come up. I have a line from it. “feelings like fashion in spite of your passion it’s brief and its passing’s undone”.

  29. Hey Ged,
    I love this tool.
    Incredible work you did here… however the tool seems to be returning movie titles than song titles these days.
    Pls look into it.
    Thanks again for this incredible tool.
