How to find the right music which match my YouTube video?

How to find the right music for my YouTube video?
I still think it’s more difficult to find the right music to my video than to edit the video.
How do you search for the right music for your video?
I mean there are a lot of royalty free music pages out there but how to search and find the right music which matched my video?
Do you know a special technic to search?

I decide the mood I want first then rough edit and the search for music to suit - classical styles goes well.

I then try to match the scene changes to suit the music.

Music rising = quad rising and vica versa.

It doesn't help immediately, but the best way is to search a few out in advance so you have a good number on hand which might work. It's pretty hopeless searching randomly based on little more than the title and basic genre.
I find sometimes I have a track to use in mind even when filming, and will often put any music in very early on rather than last thing before saving.
This is very helpful in establishing mood and editing style.
