Weird thing, I heard Adagio For Strings not 20 minutes ago for the first time. Some guy on skype linked it to me out of nowhere. Quite the coincidence  Thanks a lot, I'm gonna look further into these artists.

I hate when people recommend the most well known and overplayed classical pieces but it reminds me of the beginning of the 1812 overture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT5VjfNlGfI You could also search Youtube for slow string quartets. So try searching "string quartet adagio" "string quartet largo" "string quartet larghetto".

The Wizard of Oz posted:Michael Andrews did the original soundtrack to Freaks and Geeks. He's best known for his Donnie Darko soundtrack, particularly his cover of Mad World. So he knows his way around silence - it's far better than the original version, which is always making noise and is rather silly. The 80s were not a good time for grace. He likes guitars so much he named an album after them, but unfortunately does few instrumentals.

Looking for a song I can't remember the name to. Unfortunately it's hard for me to describe the actual song, I remember the video much better. Kind of like Broken Social Scene and possibly had a Canadian name... Anyways, the video was done in like sprite based old Nintendo type graphics. There was someone walking down the road, and they eventually went to the beach, and underwater maybe? The band had quite a few members, maybe someone playing a horn? Goddamn this is just out of reach, if I could describe it any better my google searches would turn something up. Much thanks if anyone can find it, based on my terrible and tiny description.

I started scouring YouTube for videos for the bands Manitoba, Caribou, and Of Montreal before I knew what sprite based Nintendo graphics meant, and I'm still not certain, but Of Montreal has a bunch of animated type videos. Anything from them look familiar? Edit \/\/\/: Helsinki! No fair! Liebfraumilch fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Dec 2, 2012 |

I'm trying to think of a song, it's a British female singer and in the video she's snowboarding and goes down one of those giant jumps and wipes out.

A very long shot, but goons are a resourceful bunch and maybe someone can recognize what this might be straightaway. Years ago in the early 2000s when downloading oodles of free music began to forcibly turn into browsing it on sites like mp3.com, I had been plugging in some random bands from my music collection to see what came up on such a site. From "like Tiamat", I found a track that sounded very much like John Murphy's "In the House - In a Heartbeat" from 28 Days Later. It was instrumental, had the same sort of pensive atmosphere to it, and didn't seem to build so much on an incline as keep the intensity going. Pretty sure I got it through searching artists like or related to Tiamat, not John Murphy, although the track I am looking for wasn't screamy Swedish death metal. I remember writing many college essays to this track on loop and would love to hear it again--even if it is not as brilliant as memory indicates.

I need help with a song I heard at the gym, I think these are the lyrics, but I did hear it over the lovely gym speakers: "so far, far away, so faaaarrrrr away". I'm fairly sure it's recent and it's one of those new fangled pop songs that has a techno/trance beat and melody to it. Tried googling, but to no avail.

There's a cover version of the Zombies "she's not there" that I SWEAR exists but it doesn't seem to be one of the well known ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5IRI4oHKNU is the original, but I'm SURE I've heard a cover which is much slower, more chill-out style, and as far as I know doesn't include the lines on from "now let me tell you 'bout the way she looked....." to the start of the repeat (ie, everything after the first "she's not there"). Style wise it's be something more along the lines of moby, morcheeba, Massive Attack or Portishead. It may have been used in a UK TV show or advert

I glanced at the Whosampled.com list of covers (http://www.whosampled.com/search/covers/?q=she%27s%20not%20there&ap=1) and didn't see anything that seemed to match. The closest to the style you mentioned seemed to be this Nick Cave/Neko Case thing that I'm assuming came from True Blood (and thus perhaps also the wider TV world) somehow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwSWKZSCBOI It's not all that slow and has all the standard lyrics though, if sung differently. Most of the other ones were stoner rock, guitar-heavy, or pretty fast. Maybe the link can help you narrow down your choices some.

http://www.allmusic.com/search/all/she%27s+not+there Any of those? The Crowded House one sounds about the closest, not that it exactly sounds like Massive Attack or anything. Same as above, most of them are either Santana-style latin rock versions or straight covers

Thanks for the help, I had a poke around and a couple seem to be the right tempo (about half the original) but none of them match the arrangement I have in my head. It's perfectly possible I mashed up two different things I heard, and created some imaginary trip hop version of a song I heard somewhere else.

I remember an "old" (90s, I think) video clip of nascar/racing cars combined with slow motion and still frames in these 70s style photos. I know I'm being loving vague. I don't even know what kind of music it was, I think some upbeat pop song. I was suddenly reminded of it because I was listening to Queen, especially this part:quote:That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit This is what I mean with 70s style photos: (those brown/orange dots)

I'm trying to remember this country song either from the mid to late 80s or early 90s. All I remember is the video is about an old man in a bar talking about his kids being successful and no one believes him until he dies and his kids pull up in limos and stuff to the funeral.

I recognize this is a stretch, but I'm looking for a song, it sounds like 70s power pop influenced punk. I think its The Jam, but it like, can't be The Jam. The chorus sounds like "YOURE AN ALTERNUHTIVE MONSTAH" but that's obviously not the correct lyrics. Eeek, I really want to know this song. They played it on my college radio station not too long ago, it can't be too deep of a cut.

Ok, this is a relatively famous metal song that I can't remember, by either Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, or Metallica I'm pretty sure. The main guitar riff goes BUMBUM ............. BUM BUM BUUUUM BUUUUM. The first two notes are fast, and then a pause and the last four are more spaced out. My lovely guitar-note-matching skills are telling me the notes are DE ........... G F F# E. That's all, sorry. I'll look for a mic so I can record it, but soundhound/shazam isn't helping when I hum it.

Looking for help finding a specific version of Carol of the Bells that I heard, in all places, in Starbucks last year. Female singer, maybe a capella or with minimal instrumentation, very light and clear soprano voice, and almost an ethereal quality to it, sounded like it was sung by a ghost is how I described it to a friend. I've checked the first 8 pages or so on Youtube for Carol of the Bells and it's none of them.

I swear to God there's a song with these lyrics I could swear was called "Bell, Book, and Candle" but there seems to be no instance of it on the internet anywhere. The lyrics include/were similar to: "But with BELL and BOOK and CAAAANDLE, my visitor will leave" "I am fading out, and the _____ remains" It's clear in my head and I know it's a song. And I know I used to have it on my computer. And yet, I cannot seem to find the artist. There are other songs called Bell, Book, and Candle, but they're not right  .
