Write the lyrics, guess the theme

Post by MatOzone »

We can use this language forum to find those songs we listen to, but don't know its authorship. If we post a link to the theme, together we can write its lyrics, and it will probably lead us to its composer.

I search for the first theme in this 1997 VHS tape from Sony UK (minutes 0 to 2, aprox)...

Thank you!

I fully support 🇺🇦!

Shazam?
But recorded music is easy to find. The hardest to find is the earworm that you know but cant remember and you spend weeks annoying friends and family by humming the tune badly and insisting that:

"but you must know it!

Not always, as I have been able to experience, either because it is a rather old song or because it is a piece of classical music. I'd guess this would also happen with a lot of other genres. So, I'd rather say, "contemporary pop music is easy to find" :)

@John Little , @gmads I suppose for an earworm you don't know the name of you could hum the tune on one of those recording sites and post it on here.

I can't find or remember the name of such a site now, but people often used to use it on the Duolingo forum - they would record themselves reading something out in their target language, post the link on the forum, and ask other users to listen and rate them.

Somebody will know the name of a site. :)

I don't know of any site, but try with the usual smartphone assistants (e.g. Google).

Anyway, I just searched a bit and found the following:

That one was a very popular one at the Italian course in FutureLearn.

I see now that I misread Davey's post as I interpreted his request to be for a site which could find a song based on what one hummed, hehe…

You did enlighten me though, @gmads - I didn't get what John Little meant by "Shazam?" until I looked at your links, and I had no idea that there were such sites available. :)
