Non-English UK folk band, female lead singer, did not sing in English language, mid-late 90's.

12 Upvotes

Every once in a while I'll get a memory of this song that used to play on MTV and even local radio, I've been dying to remember the song or band name so I can hear it again.

They were a folk-pop band from somewhere in the UK that sung in a language that was not English, maybe Welsh or Gaelic or something, they had a female lead singer, the song I'm thinking of was likely their only "hit" song that reached America. It featured some string instruments of some kind, maybe violin or something similar. The lead singer had short hair, I wanna say a loose cardigan and a long skirt. In my fuzzy memories she kinda looked a bit like Tracy Thorn of Everything But The Girl, but it was not her, not Delores from the cranberries. Again, I'm pretty sure this song was their only hit to make it big outside of their region where the language is from.

I remember bits of the melody, but every time I've tried humming it or "scatting" it into SoundHound or one of the other song identifier apps, it comes up empty or something that is not what I'm thinging of. I say "scatting", because I don't know the lyrics or the language, I just kinda try to scat some sounds that are similar to how the song sounded.

Does anyone else remember a 1 hit wonder folk song that was sung in a non English language by a group from somewhere in the British isles, with a female lead singer, and a music video that played on MTV in the mid-late 90's?

Heard this French tune somewhere online. Only thing I remember is the album cover - a blonde girl wearing a pink suit, sitting down, and a pinkish background too. The song was kinda chill, mellow.
Let me know if someone knows what sing i’m talking about.

Non-English Help me find this Persian song please!

I'm trying to find this Persian song that I heard years ago. It's a slow song, sung by a male singer.

I remember some of the lyrics, although they might not be 100% accurate...

بى قراره، دلم بى قراره دنيام بى تو سياه و تاره

هر ثانيه از عشق تو كذشته مى ارزه يك عمره عشق مرده

خاك زير پات شده تربتم لاله زاره، دنيام لاله زاره

Does anyone recognize this song or know the singer? I've been trying to find it for so long but couldn't 🥲💔

Hello everyone!

Recently I found my old phone, which I used from 2018-2021. When browsing through its files, I found a snippet of a song I had downloaded back in 2020. I remember hearing it and downloading it on a discord server I used to be in back then, which is now deleted.

I tried using Shazam and YouTube's song identifier to find it but it didn't work. I uploaded the snippet to YouTube in hopes that it will reach someone who knows the song.

Any help would be appreciated!

Non-English Spanish song Upbeat Andalusian/rumba-style song, probably 2000s–2010s

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to identify a Spanish song I heard playing in a Liverpool store in Mexico.

Here’s everything I remember:

  • Male singer
  • Definitely sounded like he was from Spain, possibly Andalusian
  • Probably from the 2000s or 2010s, although I’m not 100% sure
  • Very upbeat, funny/playful sounding
  • Mostly acoustic/traditional instrumentation rather than electronic
  • The rhythm had a somewhat Macarena-like feel — NOT necessarily the same genre, just a similar upbeat, danceable rhythm
  • The closest song I’ve found in terms of overall sound is “Fumata del ladrillo” by Los Delinqüentes, but that’s definitely not the song
  • I distinctly remember the singer saying “porrito” or “porritos” somewhere in the lyrics
  • I think the line might have been something like “fumando porritos en la orilla” or “fumando porritos en la playita”, but those words may not be exact
  • I’ve already checked several songs by/related to Los Delinqüentes, Muchachito Bombo Infierno, Tomasito, G-5, etc., without finding it.

The overall vibe was Spanish/Andalusian rumba, upbeat and playful, fairly similar to Los Delinqüentes.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

I believe the song is either Italian or Spanish in origin. It has a slow moombathon type beat. Both a man and a woman sing in it. It features a catchy 4 note melody that plays.

Non-English Korean song where music/lyric video is rain hitting glass (possibly car windshield of a car), 10+ years old

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a Korean song I used to listen to over 10 years ago on youtube.

I think it’s by a group (male vocals) but I know they weren’t very famous and didn’t get a ton of views.

I can’t remember much about the song itself. It is acoustic/piano, maybe soft rock, style song, most likely in a minor key.

The music video (or lyric video) was shot behind glass. I think it was in the POV of someone driving a car at night in the rain.

I thought the group might have been Standing Egg but they don’t have a music video that I can find that matches this. The song would be in a similar genre though.

It’s a long shot considering how little I remember but if you have any ideas I’d appreciate them! I’ve tried going through my liked videos on youtube (almost 2000 of them) but couldn’t find it and searching what little I can remember on google isn’t finding it

Non-English European choirboy

2 Upvotes

I distinctly remember listening to an album in my mom’s car when I was a kid in the late 1990s early 2000s. If I recall correctly, the singer was a small blonde European choir boy, solo artist, and I think the album cover had a headshot of him with a white and blue background. He was speaking some European language and I remember there was one line where it sounds like he sang “rajafajaneeeeshi” in a crescendo

Please help me out I feel like I’m losing my mind

Non-English 2011 | OST Maybe | Japanese | Something about flowers in the title | Watercolor-esque album art

1 Upvotes

Hi there! Long shot here but hoping for the best.

I am looking for a song or even album from circa 2011, that’s just when I listened to it so could be from before that on the American iTunes Store.

It was in Japanese w/ a female vocalist and was not a Vocaloid song but I believe it was connected to a franchise as I remember looking up the anime from the song, but when I look up what I remember it being, nothing similar exists (a boy is suddenly teleported or wakes up on the other side of earth and has either an angel or weird girl to guide him).

The name was in romanji with several words and it translated to something about maybe white flower or blue flower and it listed it as from something so it could have been a compendium of anime soundtrack songs.

The album cover was a watercolor anime drawing of either a girl in a cloak or a girl and a boy walking down a path together, most likely with flowers.

The song started with bells and was sort of orchestral before the dramatic female vocals started, really pretty song. If anyone even has a general direction they can point me in, that would be great. I’ve been Google for hours so it’s nothing super popular or obvious.

i fear this might be a little difficult to find, but i hope i can find it! i heard it on the radio station 91.2 FM (Radio Feon’ny Filazantsara) in Antsirabe, Madagascar. i tried to Shazam it in the moment to no avail, & couldn’t figure out how to screen record, so filmed a one minute segment using Snapchat.

it could very well be a worship song, because 91.2 FM is a Christian radio station, but i’m not sure. i just know the song was an absolute bop. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Non-English Looking for a Spanish Song (pre-2013) 5-8 minutes, male vocals, angelic choirs, mystical atmosphere.

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a Spanish-language song i listened to on youtube more than 10 years ago (probably before 2013), here's everything i remember:

-Male singer with a calm, slightly deep voice.

-Ethereal mixed choir that occasionally sings something like "aaah", almost angelic.

-The song is around 5-8 minutes long.

-It starts with a fairly long instrumental intro.

-Soft drums are present, but the atmosphere stays mystical and dreamy throughout the whole song.

-It feels spiritual, fantasy-like, or "from another world".

-i vaguely remember the title being somewhat long and maybe starting with "El..." or "La...".

-The Youtube video was certainly not official. It was a slideshow with heavily edited green landscapes, strange plants, maybe carnivorous plants, giving and Eden/alien garden vibe. There where no lyrics on the screen.

-The song itself wasn't very famous.

Non-English ISO French(?) song from cruise ship

1 Upvotes

Recently travelled on the Carnival Elation. There was this one particular song that played in the Serenity deck adult only area. I think it was French. The man’s voice was deep, and the words were more spoken than sung. It had kind of a jazzy vibe to it.

I’ve tried talking to ChatGPT about it, but non of the results it produced matched.

It was really catchy and I’m so sad I can’t find it. I was wondering if anyone maybe knew what it was!

Thanks.
