I heard this song the last couple of days on Tony Fentons show on Today FM.
It got a huge reaction. I have heard it before several times before but its excellent. The artist is unfortunately now dead. Let see what ye think.

And on the ad for "Monday nights on RTE2"

Basq

Was it "Monday nights on RTÉ2"?... Thought it was for the season of foreign films on Saturday nights - "Ciné.." whatever.

Mmm, "Meet Joe Black" and "Finding Forrester" would be the big two, the former came four years before the ER episode.

Yeah, it was.

I remember it was showing lost while playing it. It was the type of thing that Hurley was listening to so it made me think of it.

Since this song has been played on Tony Fentons Today Fm show the last week it has shot up the music download charts on iTunes. It was no 5 the last time i checked with only ****e like Shakira, Pussycat Dolls etc. ahead of it.
