The "What's That Song" Thread [ PLEASE READ ]

Basq

Due to a overwhelming litter of Song ID threads cluttering the forum.. from August 13th 2006, the forum now has a new policy on this.

Everything related to a song ID HAS to be posted in this thread and this thread only.

Any "what's that song" type posts made outside of this thread will be deleted without hesitation.

And also would like to avoid any real discussion in the thread besides requests for a song ID, identification of a song and acknowledge / thanks for the ID. Not really a strict policy on this but if i see a discussion going on for 10 posts about how great a particular song is or something to that effect, i will delete it due to simply cluttering up the thread.

Sounds like someone butchering "City of Chicago" - Christy Moore

Thanks I think you're right and that is the song! I would love to know for sure and to know who is singing it there!

OK, not much to go on here - name of an uptempo song, Western in style although the lyrics were in what sounded like an African dialect and the singing style was vaguely North African. Despite having no English lyrics it got a surprising amount of airplay on FM104 etc around the late '90s I think. That's literally all I have, except at one stage the Strawberry Alarm Clock found a translation which IIRC went something like "I see you with the wind in your eyes" which had them speculating whether it was about a dog.

'Alane' by Wes?

I know the first line is 'Tall man in Tallaght'

Song on TXFM today around 7pm. Sounded like Cage the Elephant, indie rock genre, lyrics were "Drown out the flames" and "Tell me that you'll save me" was repeated throughout. Any ideas?

Hi all,

Looking for a particular song..

Music video: Consists of a view of a woman driving a car, video is in black and white.

Lyrics: "But, we had fun"

I searched all over the internet and I can't find it. It also has a kinda 90s/2000ish feel to it...

ab4248

Had fun by Harem Scarem?? Could find a video tho.

Looking for help identifying a song, all I remember is that it came out in the late 90s maybe 97/98, very poppy, the video had a bunch of native Indians all dressed up in their native attire dancing outside in a big open green area surrounded by mountains as far as i remember, very upbeat and cheesy Brit poppy kind of thing, help greatly appreciated.

'Send Me On My Way' by Rusted Root?

Co-workers listen to Spin SW at work and this gets played regularly. Upbeat tune, obviously released fairly recently.

Lyrics from the chorus:
If you could, if you could, if you could I know you would.
It was you bringing me back to the light, it was you blowing the smoke from my eyes.

meljackson

Please can anyone help with the song title or the singer. I think the following lyrics are at the beginning of the song. Thanks.

“The thought of you makes me feel so good inside knowing that our love is gonna last....
When I think of you a feeling comes to me that nothing will go wrong ... that's never gonna leave... and forever to you I belong. I've had my share of broken hearts and a wealth of broken dreams these are memories of my past.”

sid waddell

Does anybody know the name of the track RTE have been using on their ad for their coverage of this weekend's two Euro 2016 quarter-finals between Germany and Italy and France and Iceland?

Sort of a modern traditional Irish track with uileann pipes featuring heavily.

meljackson

I found the answer by:

1 making a sound file on Sound Cloud
2 posting their link in the Facebook group 'Anyone Know' where Denise rolls knew the song
3 then listening to it song on Spotify!

The Answer: Share of Broken Dreams by Ruby Winter.

Although I didn't get the answer here it was my first port of call after the lyrics sites as this is also a great site for info

This is a long shot, but I heard a song on the radio but didn't catch the name of the song or band. I know this much, it's a 90's or 00's R&B group (it was that sort of a show) with all female singers. It was a very slow song and the lyrics had below ( I think, memories not great on this bit)

"If you want to you just say it" or
"If you want to just ask"

Sorry, very little to go on, it's been wrecking my head ðŸ˜’

meljackson

Thank you for your reply but a genius called Denise Rolls from the 'Anyone Know' in a Facebook group knew it: -

Share of Broken Dreams by Ruby Winters

I can listen to the entire song now *sob*
A combo of publishing it on Sound Cloud, then the 'Anyone Know' Facebook group, and finding it on Spotify did the neat trick. /3xFfLpCrIsLYpUXLoXmG8S

Thanks for the suggestion, the words are there and it fits the criteria, that's not the song though

this song sounded a bit more similar to "Red light special" etc...

Is it this by any chance? Although this song is about a woman growing up in Kilfineora in Clare, not Dublin, it does have the line of being asked to dance.

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately that's not the one, I came across that song while looking for the other one.

Maybe its not properly out yet, might just need to give it some time.

Always number 1

I've a vague description of a song I heard on the radio.

It's a pretty fast tempo classic rock song. There was maybe a minutes intro, then there was a drum solo that led in to the bassline, a very well known one!

The name may have been "Get Up" or "Step Up", anyone have any ideas?

Is it Get Up by REM?

MurmanskRun

A joint failure of (a) me not opening Soundhound quickly enough and (b) being slow witted to not remember lyrics.

The only thing I remember is "freckles on her face" and it sounded remarkably like Passenger/Mike Rosenberg. In any event, it was lovely. Google has failed me, so any help muchly appreciated.
