Some of my favourite songs and artists were discovered by accident. Whether a song was heard while passing by a store or used in a movie, some songs instantly find a way to connect to you. All it takes is a simple beat, a line or a snippet of the melody and you find yourself in a determined mindset, bent on discovering what you have just heard. You may find some success in using a line or two while searching online, but other than that, you’ll have to ask around. Then again, you might be too shy or embarrassed to start a beat way off key, almost cracking glass, to ask someone: “What’s the name of the song that goes ba da da dum dee da…?” Some carriers, like Rogers Wireless, used to offer a service where they would find the artist/song in question for you and send it to you via SMS.
