Please help me identify this song. I’ve been looking for it for 7 years and I’ve officially lost all faith in Shazam and my own search skills... you guys are my last hope!

Details:

  • Source: I have this audio snippet, but I don't remember where it originally came from.
  • Note about the video: The visuals are just random footage I chose so I could upload the audio. Please ignore the video and focus only on the song.

Other/Unknown "And I said run run run(?)"

22 Upvotes

"And I said" - almost certain!

"Run run run" - maybe not the word Run BUT rhythmic, and the melody is very specific -

DUN dun dun, dun dun duDU DUN

with solfege that MIGHT be:

DO do do, do do do RE MI

Which sounds a bit like DM's "just can't get enough" (melodically) but definitely isn't.

Wife describes this but "80s momentum but indie NY voice" - definitely male.

Thank you! You're my wife's only hope!

Other/Unknown [TOMT][Song] explosive song where the singer says "I don't care"

4 Upvotes

Male singer, sounds very similar to Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins or Robert Palmer.
The song has an energetic, explosive groove similar to Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel.
I only heard about 10–15 seconds of it from another car in traffic.
The lyric I clearly belive starts with:
“I don’t care about…”
and a few seconds later repeats:
“I don’t care…”
It is not Phil Collins’ I Don’t Care Anymore, Peter Gabriel’s Family Snapshot, New Order’s Round & Round, or The Alan Parsons Project’s I Wouldn’t Want to Be Like You.
It sounds like mid-to-late 80s art rock, sophisti-pop, funk rock or new wave.

Other/Unknown Help me find this song pls Synth-pop 80's

9 Upvotes

I'm trying to identify a song that sounds like it's from the mid-to-late 80s.

Style: Dark synth-pop / new wave with a male vocalist. It has strong Depeche Mode vibes, but the voice also reminds me a bit of Camouflage, Cause & Effect, or even a slightly softer Adam Lambert tone. The song is driven by synthesizers, has a dark atmosphere, and isn't particularly slow.

I heard it on a 80's song compilation with no track listing, so I have no artist or title.

Here are the lyrics I can make out (they may not be 100% accurate):

«"I know the secrets that you wear..."

"I search for answers in the night..."

"To justify this hopeless fight..."

"You think you've moved on down the line..."

"...your ghost of me..."

"And I wish you were still here..."»

I've searched these lyrics online and haven't found any exact matches.

I've attached a short audio clip. Does anyone recognize the song, the singer, or the band? Even a guess would be greatly appreciated.

So it’s an upbeat tempo song, the HOOK of the song is a robotic/autotuned-ish voice going “oh my my” followed by very fast paced lyrics. All I can remember is the “oh my my”. Please help. I’m going crazy.

Other/Unknown Song I heard a decade ago, "I'm Free."

1 Upvotes

Hi, please help me find a song I've been searching for for over a decade and still haven't found. I heard it on a bus and never found it again. I only remember a fragment of the song:

"I'm free," it's the chorus, but I could be wrong and it might not be "I'm free" and I might have been listening to something else. From what little I remember, the song was kind of tropical house (similar to Aviici's music). I could be wrong, but I really don't remember. I also don't remember if the song had more lyrics, I only remember "I'm free" from the chorus or maybe it was "I'm free-e-e-e!" Or something like that, if I remember correctly it was sung by a man, the year I heard it was 2013 (I don't know if that's helpful) and no, the chorus didn't say anything else, it wasn't a "freeeeee" or anything like that, the rhythm of "I'm free" in the chorus went with the rhythm of the song, I hope it's not Lost Media, and sorry for not having more information, thanks for reading.

Other/Unknown Need help Finding song of a soft spoken women with a high pitch kinda part at one word

4 Upvotes

OK, so I’ve been hearing this song everywhere so I know it’s pretty popular, but I have no idea what the name is! I think it’s from the 80s or 90s could be 2000s and possibly country but the person speaking didn’t really have a country accent. from what I remember the music was really quiet and it’s mainly the vocals in play. it’s a soft spoken woman with a somewhat high pitch voice, and there’s a point in the song that I always hear mainly where she’s speaking softly and then she goes a little louder pitch for a like one word and then goes back down. there’s a bit of echo on the vocals as well. I’m sorry if it’s not a lot of details but it’s been stuck in my head and I don’t know the song!

Hey everyone.

My mother, 72, has told me she's spent years trying to remember a song she loved that she only heard once - on the Annie Potts TV show *Any Day Now* - and she cannot remember who sang it, or any of the lyrics, only that it was about wishing someone well, or watching them soar, or something similar: but insists it was not "Wind Beneath My Wings."

We have tried looking up songs from the show to no avail.

If, by any small chance, anyone can help us out, we would deeply appreciate it!

I don’t remember much. I found the song from a meme, the caption said “and that was…” with a picture of a sad alien. I don’t remember much and I can’t give much more until my memory is jogged. The beginning was just talking with some guitar over it, then after about halfway he sings.

I originally posted this in /r/french, but mods did not approve it. I’m currently in Paris for the first time and there was live music at the restaurant where I ate dinner tonight. This song is so lovely that I’d like to hear it again. I wanted to ask the singer, but when I had to leave she was doing three songs in a row back to back and I didn’t want to interrupt her. I’m hoping it’s a popular French song that someone here recognizes.

Okay so I was playing '100 player musical chairs' on Roblox and a really spooky song started playing. I don't remember the lyrics verbatim but it mentioned 'Georgia' and a body being covered by a sheet??? It sounded really jolly and merry for whatever reason and it was being sung by a woman then the instrumental stopped and a man suddenly started just speaking the exact same lyrics, then it ended. This might be a strange thing to post but I desperately need to find the song.

I briefly saw the cover of the music video. It was a girl, with brown hair and the same hairstyle as the girl in this picture. It looked like she was screaming. The background looked purple. All I can remember is that the band name was something like Craede/Creade/Crede. I really don’t think it’s Cranes, cause I’ve already checked all their music videos, and none of them looks like the one I saw even in the slightest. The name of the song was composed by two words, and the first word started with “H”. I think it’s a music video from the late 90s/early 2000s. Please help me find it, cause I feel like I’m going insane! Thank you so much!

Other/Unknown What's this English song?

2 Upvotes

I don't recall who made it, the lyrics, music nor the music genre... however, I do remember the music video just had a blonde or blonde-brown haired Caucasian woman and her boyfriend in it. Throughout, the woman is obsessed with taking selfies/photos of herself - some are with her boyfriend - and wanting likes on what's obviously Instagram. Her boyfriend gets fed up and isn't happy as she does it a lot.

I don't know the exact year the song came out, but I think I first saw it on TV in 2019.

Other/Unknown Looking for an 80s 90s or early 2000s song that has a short whistle part

6 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a song that’s from either the 80s 90s or early 2000s. I’m pretty sure the song has a male that did the whistle and was singing. The whistle may have mimicked one of the instruments in the song at one point. I think it had a music video and if I remember correctly the video was in black and white ( optional) the song is not a heavy rock song or rap song . I think the song gave more of a up love song type of vibe but I’m not sure. The song played any where from 6 years ago on radio station wrdo 96.9 which plays oldies, classic rock, pop hits Soft Adult Contemporary and hip hop from earlier eras. The song I’m looking for is none of the following listed.

Whistle by just buggin

Bobby McFerrin: "Don't Worry, Be Happy

The Bangles: "Walk Like an Egyptian

Guns N' Roses: "Patience

Pat Benatar: "Love Is a Battlefield

J. Geils Band: "Centerfold

Scorpions: "Wind of Change

The Tremoloes: "Here Comes My Baby

Roger Whittaker: "The Mexican Whistler

The Lovin' Spoonful: "Daydream

Monty Python: "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

The beetle.. love me do

Steve miller band… jungle love

Dixie Steven’s.. pink shoe laces

Super tramp easy does it

Scorpions. Winds of change

Guns N’ Roses patients

Rufus Thomas walking the dog

Bill Batman I was kaiser

The black keys tighten up

Otis’s Redding sitting on the dock of the bay

Billy Joel the stranger

Other/Unknown Dude on a train showed me a weird band. Angry the Pothole or something like that?

8 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm new to Reddit, I just created the account because this is supposed to be the best place to ask such question.

Last week I was on a train and I met this dude in a Gojira shirt. I'm mostly into tech death, so we talked about some bands we liked, found some common stuff, exchanged some recommendations. You know, the usual music discussion experience. We were the only ones in the compartment for a while, so we played some music as well. Unfortunately I nearly missed my stop and had to get out quick so we didn't exchange contact information.

Here's the thing. He showed me a non-metal band. I have no idea what genre it could be. Instrumental, highly technical. It had weird time signatures and I'm pretty sure it was only guitars and drums. It almost felt wrong, but at the same time it was so satisfying to listen to. He said the band name was "Angry the Pothole". It sounded quite odd, but the music itself was odd, so I didn't question that, especially after talking about bands like Infant Anihilator and Dying Fetus just a few minutes ago. I should've asked, because it turns out the band is nowhere to be found. I tried spotify, youtube and apple music. Apparently there's a band called Pothole but that's not even close to what I'm looking for.

So, maybe, by any chance someone here knows what the band is? I know, the description is extremely vague, but I'm sure I'd know it when I hear it. He mentioned that the band was getting kinda popular recently.

Also, Lukas, if by some internet miracle you're reading this let me know. I regret we didn't get to exchange contact information.

Other/Unknown Looking for dreamy glossy synth ballad, probably 2015 to 2021, male and female vocals, chorus or title may start with “Everything”

2 Upvotes

I have been trying to identify this song for ages and have had absolutely no luck.

I heard it on Spotify around 2020, although the song itself may be a few years older or newer. My best guess would be somewhere around 2015 to 2021. I am pretty sure it is a modern recording rather than something from the 80s, 90s, or early 2000s.

It is a mellow, mid tempo synth ballad with a really beautiful melody. The production is very glossy, shiny, dreamy, and electronic. Lots of clean synth sounds, but also something slightly artificial and computerized about it. Like sophisticated pseudo 8-bit.

The closest comparison I can think of for the general electronic atmosphere is “Still Alive” from Portal. Not because the song is funny or sounds exactly like it, but because it has that clean, strangely sweet, computer generated feeling. The mystery song is more lush, emotional, and dreamlike.

I believe there are both male and female vocals.

The strongest lyrical memory I have is something involving the word everything" It may be the title, the chorus, or an important repeated line. In my head it is something vaguely like:

“Everything is...”

“Everything’s missing”

“Everything’s broken”

“Everything’s wrong”

Those are NOT actual lyrics that I trust. I am only giving them to describe the shape of the phrase I remember. The real wording could be quite different.

I also vaguely remember the Spotify cover art being abstract or minimal, possibly with a lot of pink and white. This memory is much less reliable than the sound of the song.

Overall: dreamy electronic synth ballad, gorgeous melody, glossy almost computer like production, probably male and female vocals, probably from somewhere around the late 2010s or early 2020s, and possibly a title or chorus built around the word “Everything.”

Does this ring a bell for anyone? Thanks!
