Any lyrics or something to go on?

Gravelly voiced chick singing "don't give up, don't give up" with a rock heavy backing.... what a terrible description! Again, it's on the latest Lost ad on Network 2.

Before a band called '4 Sure' played on X factor there was music being played in the background.

Can't even begin to describe it. By change did anyone here hear it & know what it was?

From what I recall I think that was "Stem/Long Stem" by DJ Shadow

-Freebird-

Brilliant song...

Anyone know the name of the song by Chris Cornell and the singer from Pearl Jam (who's name escapes me)

Is it hunger strike?

-Freebird-

That's the one... I couldn't remember the name! Cheers

Deadly song.

-Freebird-

Yeah really good... They play it in work (virgin megastores) all the time!! It's great...

Try this one: Beck played a song when they were supporting Radiohead during the summer, I think it's new but I googled it and can't find it, the lyrics included, I THINK, 'We're all pushing forward'

There was a girl on TOTP2 last Saturday playing piano, it went something like "So far, so far / I'm burning". Anyone know who she is and the name of the song? Heard it on the radio the following night and I think they said she was Narena Pellow or something

A toffee apple to whoever can answer that one. It's been annoying me for ages.

The only beck song I can think of with similar lyrics is called Motorcade, the lyrics go "We're all pushing up the tin can mountain".

The group is called "KIDID". If you go to the site:- www.kidid.co.uk you can download the song (and two others) for free.

Don't who it is but the track sounds like Saw you Running - Mary Black did a version way back.

It pained me to sit through that...and I definitely know the tune...it's by an Irish band too I'm almost sure...someone like the Hothouse Flowers . Or it could be the Waterboys or someone.
Sorry I can't be more help than that...
Here's a link to a smaller file for those who hate quicktime and downlaod times:

She plays The Village in Dublin next February.

Sounds from the description that the song was 'Sophia'

"5 o'clock and a fire escape symphony
Spilling out across the road and the square.
And the sky's the same as your own, do you think of me?
Do the parks, and trees, and the leaves reach you, there?
After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me, calling out.
Again, and again.

Sophia, sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out.
Sophia, sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without and one
of them is him

now I walk these streets like a stranger in my home town.
Learn the language, form the words when I speak
But he changed me, I'm his ghost since he came around
now I count the hours and the days and the weeks.

Passion and silence.
Every word. Every line. A Measure. It's the science of the soul.
And his books, they breathe a reason and now I want to know...

Sophia, sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out.
Sophia, sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without and one
of them is him

and you, with your new born eyes, have you ever loved a man like I love him?
Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before?
Oh, sophia. Sophia.

Sophia, sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out.
Sophia, sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without.
I can't go without him."

This has been bugging me for a while, looked everywhere for a lead but nothing. Was watching the Sports Personality thing on BBC the other night. When it came to the boxing section of the show and they were introducing Mickey Hatton and Amir Khan etc they had a tune playing. I e-mailed BBC for the song and they didn't say. If anyone saw it could they please let me know please. Thanks in advance
