I used to be great at using the right keywords to get results...Instead of searching for a song I didn't know, I'd type in any lyrics I already knew (EX: "Tonight we are young" by "FUN". I didn't know the artist plus there being millions of songs with that verse. I'd toss in anything I remembered: Verses or even small random details of it such as "friends are back" or "If the bar closes" I'd usually find he right song immediately that way. I've done that for a long time whenever surfing the web, but recently My Keyword skills haven't been so great, I've been backsliding. :? If anyone else does great with keywords, but still can get great results, I'd like some tips and tricks to re-sharpen and refresh my skills. Thanks guys! 8)

There was a song they played on the radio ads for the movie "Dallas Buyers' Club" and trying to key in the lyrics was impossible (there are probably as many songs about crying as there are about drinking in bars) so I started a search focusing on the movie and eventually found information about the soundtrack and from there was able to determine the band Alabama Shakes had created the song.

TL,DR: do a search on peripheral aspects of what you want data on
