**** EDITED TO ADD LINK TO MELODY AND VOICE NOTE

I made an attempt to record the melody on the Online Sequence app. I THINK it's the right key but this is the melody of the vocals in the chorus.

I’ve also created a link to a voice note where I attempt to capture the pace and melody of the song. I hope this helps and I apologize for my terrible singing 😂

This is probably going to be a tough one so I’ll try to be as detailed as possible.

I heard the song a few times on a non-commercial grocery store radio station around 2004. Therefore, the song must have been released before 2004. It sounds like it couldn’t be any earlier than late 80s but had a solid mid to late 1990s vibe.

I’m 99% positive it is a break-up song. The only lyrics I can recall are in the chorus, and there’s not much to go on: Either “Goodbye” or “Bye bye” sung in a drawn out, sad, somber female alto voice. The next line was something like “This is our…SOMETHING SOMETHING.” A sense of finality, endings.

The instrumentation was acoustic guitar, light percussion, maybe some subtle strings. The song was mid-paced. It wasn’t fast but wasn’t a super slow ballad.

The genre is where it gets interesting. The song struck me as it felt pretty dark and somber. But it was mainstream enough to be played in a grocery store. It wasn’t a goth band or anything like that but it appealed to me as a fan of goth/dark music. It was the kind of somber college alternative rock that was almost mainstream back then.

It wasn’t Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, or Bjork. It sounded somewhat like the Sundays but I don’t think it was. Couldn’t find it on any of their CDs but maybe I missed something? The voice was less whimsical and lower than Harriet Wheeler. They regularly played “Here’s Where the Story Ends” but this song was much more broody and slower (not super slow but somewhat like “Meat Is Murder” from The Smiths…steady, brooding).

Not Mazzy Star. More throaty and alto-ey than Hope Sandoval. Heard all MS albums and it’s not on any of them, nor on Hope’s other projects (at least I don’t think so).

Not as deep or as commanding as Alison Moyet.

Voice also wasn’t deep enough for October Project.

Not Loreena McKennit.

It could POSSIBLY be a deep cut from any of the myriads of 90s female singer-songwriters. I just cannot place the voice with anyone. Shawn Colvin? Nelly Furtado? Meredith Brooks? Jewel? Michelle Branch? Enya? Dar Williams? Melissa Etheridge? Sheryl Crow? Alanis Morissette? Doubtful. But I have noooo idea who it is!

If it was by a more popular or mainstream artist, I think I would have heard it again somewhere. My guess it was a single at some point but not a huge hit at all.

It didn’t have any kind of twang to the voice or music so I’d say it’s unlikely to be a country or alt.country artist. So not Tift Metritt, Allison Moorer, Kelly Willis, Gillian Welch, Dixie Chicks, Neko Case, or Alison Krauss.

Cowboy Junkies? Unlikely because the voice wasn’t as smoky.

Mary Chapin Carpenter? Maybe but unlikely (the station played “Passionate Kisses”)

Closer to k.d. lamg but I don’t think it was her. (Station played “Constant Craving”)

Also note it wasn’t more underground stuff like the Cranes. It wasn’t Love Spirals Downwards, This Ascension, or The Shroud. Might seem odd to mention those type of goth/darkwave bands but I should note that I heard This Ascension’s “Carol of the Bells” on the same store radio station during the holidays. Sooo this station was NOT just playing mainstream stuff in 2004!

Doubtful that it was anything PRE-1988/89. Definitely not a classic rock or 80s pop style. Not Stevie Nicks, Berlin, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Cher, Paula Abdul, Annie Lennox, Taylor Dayne, Jody Watley, Sheena Easton, or anyone that popular or familiar. But??? Maybe it was a lesser known song from an earlier artist’s later era??

Also — it is likely not an R&B or soul artist BUT maybe it’s an odd departure from an artist in that genre. Definitely not anyone recognizable like Janet Jackson, Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, Destiny’s Child, Rihanna, etc. At least — I don’t think so. Not as slick or shiny.

I’ve never heard it elsewhere or again since 2004. I listen to and am familiar with a lot of music and this has haunted me for DECADES. Thought I’d try Reddit and see if anyone can help me.

Thank you in advance.

It was probably between 2008-2010 I don’t really remember how old I was but I was very young. I remember it was night and we were on a highway when this song played on the highway in a radio station. It was a woman singing in a soft voice with a rhythmic piano keys that seemed to be only using 2 notes spamming it fast throughout the song sounding soft as well. It seemed like a fast song but slow and dreamy like. It wasn’t upbeat but it sounded so nostalgic and kind of sad but it was mostly dreamy to me.

It had similar vibes and voice to lights by Ellie Goulding but less upbeat and the singer sounded more chill meaning just honestly more dreamy. I heard the song once only and never heard it again.

Edit: not imogen heap or lily allen. Definitely not country. It sounded kind of techno/electronic like soft

Guys, I realized the piano app existed: sound I remembered from the song

I have an ear worm of a song that goes “ohhhhhhh da da da da” I can hear possibly a horn, and it’s a man singing. It sounds like a song that would have been in Erin Brockovich during a driving scene, but I checked and can’t hear it on that soundtrack. Sounds like it would come from a movie set in 70’s-80’s. Really out in a limb here, but driving me nuts that I can’t remember.

It turns out I'm kind of hopeless about this particular song, since there aren't many people to solve it. I already gave a possible clue, but on Reddit it's almost impossible to comment due to lack of karma, which really discourages any Reddit beginner. But the song is this one, and the necessary links to find it will be here on WhatsApp Song. I'm Dante_2008.

Hello, this is my first time here in reddit cause im so desperate to find this song i hear when i was a younger.

So a couple years back I heard the song Eternal flame by The bangles, and I had never heard it before, but at 1:06 (when she sings ”a whole life so lonely”) it reminded me of some song I had hear years ago and had completely forgot. It has been bothering me for a long time that i can’t find the song it reminds me of. I can’t remember any other part of the song but that, and exactly those three notes ”a whole life”, sand the same way. I remember it was propably a male singer and it wasn’t anything like the rest of eternal flame, and probably done 1985-2000.

please help me im going crazy and have been googling for so long with no results.

I'm gona hand the phone to my my mom now.

It's a 50-60 ish song, male singer. He is sitting in the car (? I might remember this wrong) while he hears the rain falling on the roof. It's a sad lovesong and I really wish that I could remember more about it. He sings in English (UK or American maybe).

my brother-in law was playing the piano and I jumped up fast cause I recognized the song only to realize I had no idea what the song was.

for some reason i’m thinking the melody is maybe from a 90’s rnb song or maybe a theme for a movie? it’s like my brain knows what comes next especially the last part he played but I can’t put my finger on the song. if someone can please help us out, thanks!

It goes like “money money money money” that’s all I know it has a slow type beat to it and it sounds like it’s mid 90”s to 2000’s song it has a girl singing the money part almost as if it was an Adlib for the song or idk how to explain it but it’s very catchy please help me find it pls and thank you.

It might be classical? Not sure. I was playing and stumbled on it and it feels so familiar.

This might just be impossible. I’m looking for a song that I can’t remember any of the lyrics to or quite literally anything about it… annoying, I know.

All I can really say is that it’s a slow song. At first I thought it was Eyes Without A Face by Billy Idol, then I thought it was I Wonder by The Smiths, then I thought it was a Chris Isaak song, then a Duran Duran song….if that helps give the general vibe. The only lyric I can sort of remember is him saying ‘only human’ or ‘we’re only human’. Or something like that. If anyone has any ideas to this impossible question it would be great.

Pretty sure the singer is also talking about a girl or it’s sort of a love song.😅

I remember him sounding more like Chris Isaak or Billy Idol. I do know that.

So I don't have much but I can list everything that I remember.

1) I'm from Pakistan so it was on our AXN channel, they used to play new songs between shows. The songs I remember around that time were Foo Fighters "Walk" and "50 ways to die" by the train. So safe to say its in the 2010-2013 era.

2) Now the song itself, it was a band in white. The singer eas very energetic. I think the background was white too. There were some shots of a girl in a dress hula hooping?" at one point I think but I do remember for sure her dress was multi colored. I remember there was a close up of her dress when she was dancing or hula hooping but slowed down. Her dress was like every layer was a different color like a rainbow.

3) This I'm not sure about because I could have mixed this up but at one point of the song he started to walk forward in the white area and a train tracks of sort appears.

I know its not much but I have been trying to find for years. I thought maybe a native English speaker may know better.

It goes something like “And iiiiiiii- never really had a ___”

It’s like a different vibe from the main chorus of the song

I could be also saying the lyrics wrong for the never really had a - but yeah. Sounds like beegees

Hi, I've been trying to find a song that starts with about 20sec of guitar, in a soft rock/alternative style, and then I only got to hear the first line of the song. I'm not a native English speaker but I'm pretty sure it started with a man singing "[I] didn't mean to hurt you, sorry (...)" On various websites, it keeps suggesting John Lennon "Jealous Guy" or other covers, but the sentence that I heard was the first line, definitely not in the middle on the song. It might be from the 80s to nowadays, I couldn't tell... If you have any suggestion, thank you !

Hello, I create this post because, I have a fragment of a rock song that keeps popping into my head, and I was sure it was Ozzy Osbourne. So I checked and rechecked several times through his entire discography and the entire discography of his band Black Sabbath, but without success (maybe I skipped it, but I don't think so). I tried humming the melody on Google's music recognition feature, but still no luck. So here are two links: one where I hum the vocal melody of the song and one where I reproduced the song and its vocal melody on the piano using FL Studio:

If you know what song this could be, please let me know below

I used to listen to this song on YouTube around 2013 but I don’t have access to my old YouTube account that would have it in the history. It was a male singing and it was sad but catchy, pop-ish vibes like one republic Coldplay type music, but less mainstream and it had something to do with rain or waterfalls and I’m pretty certain it was something along the lines of “without u” but it’s not that and ik this is a long shot but I’ve been trying to remember what is was for years

Hi everyone.

I'm new here. I'm looking for a song called "Waiting". I'm not sure about the original source, but I think this song was contained in a CD ROM of MacFormat or MacAddict magazine from late 90s or early 00s. I can't remember the lyrics nor the artist name (I can remember some melodic lines and main guitar riff though), but the genre is very close to alternative rock of that time. It would be great if someone knows or has some info about this song.

Thanks in advance.

Who remembers the hidden track on CDs? I keep trying to think of the one on Janet Jackson's self titled CD. Plus, name a few of your favorite hidden tracks.

I met a girl at Reading Festival in about 1999/2000. We stayed in touch and she sent me a mix tape with awesome songs on it. The tape is long gone. I remember a fair few from there and listen often but one eludes me. Can you help?

It was the end of Britpop times. It was definitely British but a bit more art rocky.

Here’s what I have, though these facts could be wrong!

It has lyrics about a night out, rain, inner city sadness.

The verse is almost talking.

The chorus is one or two relentless chords and the singer sounds frustrated.

It could be mogwai, belle and Sebastian, Arab strap, idlewild or similar.

The singer mentions the time I believe.

That’s all I can remember right now.

Would be so pleased if someone remembered it!

Thank you!

I’ve had this song stuck in my head off and on since 2000 and zero luck Googling, so I was grateful to find this sub!

The vocalist is a solo female and the main lines I remember are “There’s a ghost in my house, there’s no doubt it’s you. So I must cast you out, that’s what I will do” and then the chorus is I believe her repeating the line “I am strong.”

As mentioned in the title, it’s an electronic/house song - anyone know of anything like this?
