最近在收音机里听到(Heard)一首歌,但不记得它的名字?这一直发生在我身上,因为即使我等待,有一半的时间没有人说是哪个乐队演奏了这首歌或歌曲的名字!幸运的是,您只需在线搜索歌词,即可立即找到歌曲名称和乐队名称。
如果您能记住歌曲中的一两行,可能只需执行简单的Google 搜索(Google search)即可找到您需要的所有信息,而无需访问歌词搜索网站(search site)。在Google(Google)上进行简单的搜索,例如“it doesn't even matter”,就会为您提供正确的乐队、Linkin Park和正确的歌曲名称(correct song title),In the End。
如您所见,第一个结果来自一个名为 azlyrics.com 的歌词网站。由于所有这些网站都已被Google编入索引,因此在(Google)Google上搜索歌词大部分时间都会为您提供正确的答案。最重要的是,如果您也在搜索,您会获得指向YouTube 视频等的链接。(YouTube videos)
你也可以在谷歌搜索的末尾添加(Google)“(word “)歌词”这个词,几乎可以保证你得到正确的答案。
但是,如果由于歌词很常见而无法在Google中进行搜索,那么您可以尝试一些有用的歌词网站。实际上有数百个,但我在这里只提到两个(mention two) ,因为除了我在下面提到的三个之外,我从来没有使用过任何其他服务。此外,我试图坚持那些没有充满广告或只是索引其他歌词网站的网站。
地铁歌词
MetroLyrics.com可能是我最喜欢的歌词搜索网站,因为它为您提供了超出您所寻找的更多信息。搜索功能(search feature)也非常棒,它不仅可以在歌词中搜索您的关键字,还可以在艺术家、歌曲名称、视频、专辑名称甚至新闻中搜索您的关键字。
我单击歌词只是为了查看这些结果,如您所见,它找到了我正在寻找的歌曲以及一大堆其他歌曲。有时结果太多可能会让人不知所措,但MetroLyrics可以很好地在顶部显示最佳匹配,然后在下面显示不太相关的结果。另外,我真的很喜欢他们的搜索,因为很多时候我不记得这首歌的确切单词,所以我最终搜索了错误的歌词。该站点显示完全匹配,但也显示接近匹配,因此如果您没有(t get)正确理解每个单词(word right),您应该仍然能够找到这首歌。
在实际的歌词页面上,您可以根据需要打印歌词,观看可用的音乐视频(music video),甚至更正歌词,因为它像Wikipedia一样由社区编辑。我也喜欢它告诉你这首歌是谁写的,这是大多数歌词网站都没有提到的。
总体而言,如果您只想搜索歌词,这个网站很好,但如果您是对音乐感兴趣的人,它非常适合让您参与许多其他信息。
歌曲歌词
SongLyrics.com不像 MetroLyrics 那样好看,但它仍然返回非常好的结果。首先,继续使用顶部的搜索框进行搜索。(search box)
与MetroLyrics一样,您可以搜索艺术家(Artist)、专辑(Album)、歌曲标题和歌词内(Song Title and Within Lyrics)。如果需要,您还可以进行完全匹配搜索(match search)。就我而言,我只检查了歌词内(Within Lyrics),然后我得到了我正在寻找的林肯公园结果:(Linkin Park result)
如果你点击链接,你会得到歌词页面。一个不错的功能是能够在歌词播放时听歌曲。它不需要(t require)你注册或任何东西,一个简单的网络播放器(web player)会弹出并开始播放歌曲。
我不太确定人们在互联网(Internet)之前做了什么,但现在当你在收音机里听到一首歌,如果你在开车时还没有沙赞(Shazam),那么你可以很容易地搜索任何歌曲,无论是旧的还是新的,只需几秒钟。享受!
How to Find the Name or Title of a Song by Lyrics
Heаrd a song on the radio recently and can’t remember the name of it? This happens to me all the time because even though I wait, half the time no one ever says which band played the song or the name of the song! Luckily, you can just search for lyrics online and find oυt instantly the name оf the song аnd the band.
If you can remember a line or two from the song, probably just performing a simple Google search will bring up all the info you need without having to go to a lyrics search site. A simple search like “it doesn’t even matter” on Google will give you the correct band, Linkin Park and the correct song title, In the End.
As you can see, the first result is from a lyrics site called azlyrics.com. Since all of those sites are indexed by Google, performing a search on Google for song lyrics will give you the correct answer most of the time. On top of that, you get links to YouTube videos, etc in case you were searching for that also.
You can also just add the word “lyrics” to the end of your search in Google and you are almost guaranteed to get the correct answer.
However, if the search is not working in Google because the lyrics are common, then you can try out a couple of useful lyric sites. There are literally hundreds of them, but I’ll only mention two here since I’ve never had to use any other service beyond the three I mention below. Also, I tried to stick with ones that weren’t full of ads or simply indexed other lyric sites.
MetroLyrics
MetroLyrics.com is probably my favorite site for searching for lyrics because it gives you a lot more information beyond what you were even looking for. The search feature is also pretty awesome in that it will search your keywords in not only lyrics, but also artists, song names, videos, album names and even the news.
I clicked on Lyrics just to see those results and as you can see, it found the song I was looking for plus a whole bunch of other songs. Sometimes having too many results can be overwhelming, but MetroLyrics does a good job of showing the best matches at the top and then showing the less relevant results below. Also, I really like their search because there are a lot of times I can’t remember the exact words from the song, so I end up searching for the wrong lyrics. This site shows exact matches, but also shows close matches, so if you don’t get every word right, you should still be able to find the song.
On the actual lyrics page, you can print the lyrics if you like, watch the music video if it’s available and even correct the lyrics since it’s community edited like Wikipedia. I also like the fact that it tells you who actually wrote the song, an item most lyric sites don’t mention.
Overall, this site is fine if you only want to search for lyrics, but it’s really good at keeping you engaged with a lot of other info if you’re someone who is interested in music.
SongLyrics
SongLyrics.com isn’t as nice looking as MetroLyrics, but it still returns very good results. Firstly, go ahead perform a search using the search box at the top.
As with MetroLyrics, you can search on Artist, Album, Song Title and Within Lyrics. You can also do an exact match search if you want. In my case, I went ahead and checked only Within Lyrics and then I got the Linkin Park result I was looking for:
If you click on the link, you’ll get the lyrics page. One nice feature is the ability to listen to the song while you have the lyrics up. It doesn’t require you to sign up or anything, a simple web player pops up and starts playing the song.
I’m not really sure what people did before the Internet, but now when you hear a song on the radio and if you didn’t already Shazam it while driving, then you can easily do a search to find any song, old or new, in just a few seconds. Enjoy!
