So for the past couple of days, I have had a melancholy tune stuck in my head for days on end, and I could only remember a few words of it and it was driving me NUTS that I didn’t know what the rest of the words were.
The first thing you need to do is search for lyrics – thank god only a snippet will do…
So I typed “I think it kind of funny and I think it kinda of sad” into Google’s search bar while humming the melody to myself… and got these results:
Search Results
Sifting through through the results, there’s the first one that mentions various music artists, and I can figure out the name of the song to be “Mad World” which I confirm by searching “Mad World lyrics” on Google, and in reading, I find the words match the melody I’ve been humming over and over again.
HOWEVER – It’s not enough to have figured out what the song IS, I feel so obsessed that I NEED to hear it play… It’s so much work to call into a radio station and request it to be played, then wait around FOREVER to hear it, only for them to play it according to Murphy’s Law when I’m NOT in my car or near a radio. But what is a girl without a working laptop *ahem* access to her iTunes account to do?
Seeqpod to the rescue!
Seeqpod Search
I’ve yet to fully explore the possibilities of Seeqpod at this point, but right now, I’m just looking for music, so I’ll deselect all other icons except sound/music files to filter my search…
Seeqpod Search Pg. 2 results of "Mad World"
(…and I don’t want radio or remixes, so I clicked to page 2 of the search results.)
And if you click that little green arrow that appears to the right of a result, it will be posted to the right half of the screen and you can create a playlist – when you double click the song in your playlist, you can then LISTEN TO THE WHOLE SONG!
AS MANY TIMES AS YOU LIKE!!!
Seeqpod has a playlist on the right half of your screen!
Seeqpod is my new best friend!
