Anyone able to help me. I keep catching a song on the radio but only the last minute of it and the DJ never says what song it was at the finish.

I only have two partially heard lyrics from I presume the ending chorus

Male vocalist. He kinda hums/chants a few bars and then says the line "waiting for the sky to fall" and then he hums again and says another line "waiting for the night/guy to come/call home"

Song is at least a couple of years old as I've been missing it for quite a while.

Those lyrics above are likely not correct as I've done quite a bit of reverse googling. Also, they are chanted just as the song itself is fading out so there's minimal music around the lyrics to be able to give ye more clues.

Possible red herring :: singer sounds scouse/Mancunian based on my misheard lyrics

Good luck

On first instinct I thought To the Moon and Back by Savage Garden but I could be well off the mark!

What kind of tempo is it? Genre? Which radio station was it on? Any more specifics would help greatly. Tks

Nice thought, but no.

Tempo wise its quite slow, much slower than that. Think, John Lennon, #9 dream as a tempo and the bridge part, where he'd sing the "feel" part, but more down tempo - that kind of a vibe to it.

Genre has to be like an indie folk very slow rock type vibe. Like I cant be sure because I only ever catch the end of it. The song itself could actually be completely different to the ending, but i have no way of being sure because ive never heard the beginning.

Each time i've heard it has been on 2fm.

Theres no drums on the outro and very little audible music. Its almost like an accapella ending to the song.

I have very little else in the way of information that I can think of

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 12-07-2018 04:41PM

Song on 2XM a few minutes ago. Between Haim's "Want You Back" and a rap song. Was a male singer, probably a band, releated lyrics were "we go round like Jupiter's moons" .

I Googled it and it gave me an Echosmith song but it's not the right one. I'm looking at the 2XM playlist online but it's not listing any of the songs that were on in the last half hour.

I don't know what it is but it sounds very like Pink's last song.

Hello,

I am hoping someone here can put me out of my misery! I'm not being lazy, I have spent a lot of last night and a few hours this morning trying to track down this song... I have went through numerous UK top 40s going back to mark on soundcloud, done the shazam top 100s, googled best songs of 2018 and have drawn a blank.

Here is all the info I have...

At work in the ware house they have on Nova, so that's where I was hearing it, and it was on at least once a day, if not more. It's very up beat and melodic, and I think it is a good song. So much so that I just assumed it was a number one, or top ten type song, thus me going through the charts.

As for the song itself, I can't even remember a single lyric

but the only way I can describe it is it seems to be two people, a young man and woman "talking/having a conversation" with each other? But singing, if that makes sense? Maybe it was a hit last year?

That's not much to go on, but it had to be a hit at sometime?

I think "she" is the first person singing and then he kicks in with his reply, as such. And there is a bang on "Londoners" of their accents.

Apologies for the lack of info, but here hoping!

Wish the SEC would provide the names to the tracks they play in listening exams, I love many of the songs/music they play and download them for myself when I go home. Here's two in particular off the top of my head that I could not find the names to. I'd appreciate the help thanks.

2012 Q6 excerpt 1a and excerpt 2.

1a is ‘Greensleeves’, 2 is ‘The Toredors Song’ from Bizet’s ‘Carmen’.

Help...hearing this song on a few promos and intros etc lately...like the sound of it so wouldn't mind knowing who's responsible for it

https://youtu.be/oldHxwcuiIw

Edit...sorted...it's Gosh by Jamie xx

Will I Am Not · 15-10-2018 09:34PM

Anyone know the music in this. Sounds a bit like Einaudi but can’t find it on Spotify.

New Home · 15-10-2018 10:08PM

Sounds a bit like Dirk Maassen, but I wouldn't know which piece.

paleoperson · 30-10-2018 01:12AM

Anyone know what the name of this song is? It somehow sounds familiar, like it might be a classical piece of music. And don't ask how in jesus' name I ended up playing chinese chess on the NES, I'm probably a bit dysfunctional I admit. :pac:

oh yeah! Apparently that's from a Russian romance song "Dorogoi dlinnoyu", and a lot of China borders Russia or is quite close culturally. That may well be why I think it's familiar, good job.

OneOfThem Stumbled · 01-11-2018 08:34PM

Hi I hope someone can help me with this, as it's really annoying me and it's impossible to look up.

The song begins with silence and a very distinct, heavy sigh. This is then followed by a long intro (guitar) and a relatively conventional rock song (a bit downbeat and tense though).

I can't remember a single word of the lyrics. The opening chord is played on repeat in my head though. Nor can I remember the band name!

The sleeve art/ cover art (the picture that was used for the 'official' video on youtube) looked quite similar to this

Charlie19 · 01-11-2018 08:54PM

That image reminds of a Pink Floyd and also a Linkin Park album cover.

Nope definitely not Pink Floyd.

Much more recent band, and quite a fast beat, far faster than a lot of PF's songs.

Edit: Finally found it! Decyfer Down - Fading

cormie · 02-11-2018 01:39AM

I was thinking "Guns N Roses - So Fine" before I read that you got it :pac:

Sorry if it's a bit vague, but anyone remember the name of the song played in "Reeling in the years 1998" during the piece about the Omagh Bombings? That episode of reeling in the years is no longer available so I'm really out of options here! Can't remember it for the life of me.

*Just as I clicked post, I remembered it, it's called "Teardrop"*

New Home · 11-11-2018 02:12PM

I remember a bare-footed Juliet Turner singing "Broken Things" during the memorial service/funeral. Haunting, to say the least.

I'm having a mare trying to find out the name of this song in this video - have a feeling it used to be on the coverage for BBC Snooker back in the day but cannot for the life of me find it.
