Looking for a Song ?

MRPRO03

I heard this tune a few days back and it seems to be stuck in my head but I do not know what it is.

It had a whistle in it, I think it might have been the chorus. It was quite calm and relaxing.

Sorry for been a little vague, but any suggestions, I would welcome.

Thanks.

If you dont describe Young folks as calm and relaxing then there may be problems trying to find your song out based on your descrtiptions of it.

Thats is such a chilled song....<slight head bop, as whistling along>

Flute?
Definitely Relaxing

Belle and Sebastian - Boy With The Arab Strap

Is it that song from the 80's/early 90's with a guy singing something like heeeeeere we are something of survival, then it has whistling in the middle. And no, it's not Queen - Princes of the universe, it's a bit more relaxed then that;)

Voice kinda sounds like Brian Adams too.

BurnsCarpenter

Scorpions - Wind of Change?
It's of the era and features whistling, dunno bout the lyrics though.

That's it, thank you!! It was wrecking my head (and I'm not even the poster originally looking for a song lol). I have the song and everything:rolleyes:

It is not the one I was looking for, but is sort of similar to that whistle.

cormie

It wouldn't be Ennio Morricone would it? Doubt it would be on Irish radio though. What station?

MRPRO03

I do not know the station, I just heard it walking by.

cormie

best thing to do is record yourself whistling it and post it up (cmon, it's only whistling, it's not like your being asked to sing:D).

MRPRO03

I have no recording device.

cormie

Phone me... lol. only joking

you must have something to record to?!

MRPRO03

OK, Done it,

haha, cool, unfortunately I'm not too sure. It may pop into my head but if it's anything released in the past year or two I'm not your man, I haven't listened to radio in a long time:o

Actually, I managed Jackie during the period that she signed to Virgin Records and made "Don't Force The River". In fact, you will see me mentioned on the album. I am also trying to locate Jackie as I have not heard from her in years and I now live and work in NY. So if anyone has any news, it would be great.

It is a goldfrapp song. It's the first track of the Felt Mountain album. It's called Lovely Head.
