The song stuck in your head
We have all had a tune we cannot name. AI music tools have gotten very good at solving this — and at building playlists that match your real taste, not what is popular this week.
Tools worth knowing
Shazam: hold the phone up; it names the song playing in a store, on TV, or at a party.
Google's 'hum to search': open the Google app, tap the microphone, hum the tune.
Spotify or Apple Music: ask for 'songs that sound like Patsy Cline meets Roy Orbison.'
ChatGPT or Claude: 'I half-remember a song from the 1960s about a lonely lighthouse. Help me find it.'
The big idea: the music you grew up with is one search away — and AI is good at filling in the names you forgot.
