It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

What is a song you wanted to find again for a long time, but it gave you no clear clue about how to search for it? (self.asklemmy)

I would also be curious to hear how you eventually found it again!

One to start: Conquest for paradise by vangelis. Just randomly woke up one morning with the song plus title in my head

For anyone in this position, don't forget [email protected] - maybe someone can help identify what you're after.

On the Other place, one of my favourite time killers was to go through the various subs devoted to identifying music/movies/books/etc based on small clips, screenshots or even just descriptions.

Don't think there are equivalents on Lemmy, but TipOfMyTongue can kind of serve that purpose :-)

Nice! I remember before smartphones listening to a local alternative radio station and then not always saying the names of the tracks and artists, so I would write down lyrics and then Google them when I got home.
