Find songs by lyrics on Deezer

Have you heard that new song by that American singer still not very well known that sings about "I drive alone past your street..." and is number one in several countries right now? What about that song from the '80s that we can't remember the title, but it goes something like this: "every now and then I get a little bit lonely..."? If you don't know who sang them, no worries, "turn around, bright eyes", and see that we're now able to search a song by its lyrics on Deezer!

 

If you don't remember the artist or the name of the track you're looking for, you can find the songs by searching for the lyrics on deezer.com. Type at least four words in the search and there you go! (Actually, this reminded me of that Johnny Cash song "there you go, you're gone again...", but I can't remember the title of this track!)

 

Note that this feature will only work for tracks which have lyrics available - tracks without lyrics may not be searchable. Also, this option isn't available on kids profiles.

 

 

Going back to that song which is number one in several countries at the moment, did you find out which one it is?

Does not work on first test, perhaps I listen too underground?!

Now, I'm gonna do the things that you hated

This in search and it brings anything but this…

Does it work only for chart music?

I bet these songs it says to have “Now, I'm gonna do the things that you hated” don’t really have anything like “Now, I'm gonna do the things that you hated” and this is weird now.

Also searching basic hard dance lyrics “Stay away from my Wodka” does not return anything, but hits, where nowhere to be found “Stay away from my Wodka”, so how useful it is?

If from 217 suggestions none of them is about right track: Da Tweekaz - Wodka.

I will try more, but so far it does not work for me at least.


Finally, a tool which my brain would appreciate every now and again :smile:

Well done, Deezer. Coming for the next release of the desktop app too!


I need a Miracle.

That worked. It showed Cscada - Miracle in the list.


Deezer team is on firrrrrre 😍


It's coming for the desktop app very soon @Mr. Jahrami @hpguru :grin:

Hi there @mihai 

Apologies for my reply in English - Romanian isn't supported in the community yet.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but are you having any issues with the feature?


I’ve been waiting for this feature, but you still need to implement some
way for users to submit lyrics for every song….that way it would work for
most of all songs...I guess?


Something to bear in mind when discussing things with our partner, LyricFind @Sergi.Sanz thanks for the feedback!


Nice one Deezer!!

Waiting for the iOS/android release of that feature 🥳

 


Me too @Martijn.Keymis 

We're looking into adding it in the near future. Stay tuned :wink:


I wouldn’t have found some of the songs on Deezer without this “search by lyrics” update! It is amazing!


Thanks a lot @studilaroche33 we hope to bring the feature to other platforms soon!


Thats very good!
