Driving me mad today, nearly sure it was called "Burn Still my Heart" and Irish 80s early 90s

Couple of phrases "suddenly I see the thing I lack" "for him and not for me"

Help!

What was that RTE Xmas ad sponsoring song?

You know that thing that comes on at the start and end of the TV break? and I think it says something like "Christmas movies on RTE sponsored by whatever". Well I'm wondering what the song played during this thing was?

It sounded like it might have been a version of 'Fly me to the Moon'.

Thanks

Hi folks! I recently visited Derry and I was at Peader O'Donnell Pub on the december 31st.

There was a musician playing a song that the chor said somethink like "from the northern ireland ..to the western ireland..."

I searched for it in google but no luck

Does anybody has an idea of wich song is? Cause all the people inside the pub was singing it!
Thanks in advance!

Another idea is to take note of the time you hear a song, and then ask the radio station directly.

I have done that, and was ignored.

cormie · 05-01-2019 10:59pm

Yeah, there's a lot of different versions..

Nice live one by Bruce:

Thanks for replying axwell but that's not it, the song I'm talking about actually starts at about 3:10 when there in joey and chandler's apartment .

Axwell · 17-01-2019 8:01pm

Have you checked the Friends Soundtrack? Its on spotify, when I was searching for the name of the REM song it showed it on tbe album so theres a chance whatever the other song is will be on there too.

More or less. People make music available specifically for media. This kind of thing...

Answering my own question but it's Ports and song called The Few And Far Between, if anyone is curious!

hill16bhoy · 13-02-2019 12:36am

Anybody know what the name of the song played from around 3:50 on in this link is?

Sounds a bit like The Cure or some 1980s/early 1990s indie band, but I can't place it.

Ok, this one is going to be a stretch but here goes...I remember being in the cinema in 1997 and I recall one of the ads before the film started had some cool music. It sounded like Portishead but I'm not sure if it was. The lyrics I remember as this "ooh you're such a good boy, bringing in my teeth" and then these crashing guitars. Anyone know of the song?

No, I should mention it was a female vocalist and she sounded like Beth Gibbons but I can't find any song in their discog afaik. It was definitely a mid 90s song.

Fitz* · 25-03-2019 4:34pm

There was an ad around 10 years ago on TV / radio. I think it could have been a Centra / Vodafone type ad, or possibly just a generic Today FM one.

It was a pop-indie rock type song by what I think was an Irish band and as far as I know it is their only known song. I have a feeling it was something like The Vagabonds - Come On.

Can't find it in all my searches

Without much to go on, might I suggest Sunburst by Picturehouse?

Anyone know the name of the song that's being played on the current RTE Sport GAA ad?

It starts off: "I want it all..." Can't catch any more of it..
