Got two songs i'm looking for - heard both in a club the other night, but the bar staff (being vietnamese) could not understand when I tried to ask them for the names of the songs. 1) Is a club song with hardly any lyrics; but the main chorus is a girl singing "I just want (or might be 'need') you-ooooooo-ooooooo-ooooo ooo" the ooooo-ooo-ooo's are fairly long and tail off from the word you - first two are identical in sound, and then the rest change up the sounds. 2) A club song that borrows from Chuckie and JunxterJack's line of "make some noise" and is remixed into a pretty sweet mix of dubstep. (heard a few times over the past year).

Hey thanks for the reply. Just gave it a listen and sadly not the right one. This one is from 2012, and I think the version I am looking for is from 2015/2016 - it doesn't have as much bass. Club remixes are always a bitch to find :V

I was listening to the song The Phantom Of The Opera and the first note reminded me of the first note in another song. The problem is I don't remember what that second song is. I think it is something I'd have heard on the radio, so maybe pop, edm, or even maybe rock/rap. All I know is that it repeats that same note (with similar instruments?) twice, then drops to a lower note and plays that note twice. Same long drawn out note. I don't know if that happens once or twice but after that the rest of the song kicks in. I don't have more to go on than that but it's been killing me. It's not pink floyd echos btw.

These are all great suggestions but nothing yet. I'm thinking maybe in the vein of a daft punk or muse but that could be a red herring too.

years ago, maybe around 2006 or so, there was a song on my dad's PC that had like a pop-punk chorus with screamo vocals for the rest of the song. the cover on the file was a man in a yellow raincoat on a rowboat, rowing across a sea of different colored balloons (or just colored balls?) i've been looking for this song for so long and i have never gotten a solid lead. i suspected it was one of those default songs on windows media player (i remember mr. scruff was on the very limited music selection there) but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I've got this melody stuck in my head that I just can't remember. It's a female voice, that goes very high, particularly after the word "we're". Lyrics are something kiiiinda like this but individual words will absolutely not be accurate (else I would've googled it myself): "Don't you know we're tragedies/submarines, breathing in a twilight sky..." I am aware that's not exactly a lot to work with, but hey, maybe it works  .And, a song that I've thought about a few times in the past years but failed to figure out each time. It's a pop song, based on this, and I distinctly remember it containing the line "It would be so kind", with "be" and "kind" on long, high notes.

All I can give you is it's punkish, at least 10 years old and that a girl with an english accent screams "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough" at the beginning before the music starts. Any thoughts?

I suddenly got the urge to listen to a song I remember liking several years back. I'm pretty sure it's Swedish, possibly Danish. I think the title has the word "shoes", "feet" or "walking" in it, possibly "happy". The artist is a woman, the song is pretty upbeat pop. Pretty sure it's from sometime between 2003-2012. The most distinctive thing I remember is the music video, which has a bunch of shoes "walking" in stop motion. They are not so much walking as just continually placed in front of each other. I'm not sure if the same few shoes are just repeatedly put in front of each other, or if new shoes are added continually, making them form a long line. I've spent the last half hour scanning youtube with several combinations of the words "shoes", "walking", "swedish", "music", "video", "feet", "stop motion", with no success. Edit: Found it, with the combination: "swedish music many shoes". The song is "Jenny Wilson - Let My Shoes Lead Me Forward" if anyone's interested. uncle blog fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Dec 14, 2017 |

I am really struggling with how to articulate this... but I'm looking for that brief stinger, that I think is horns, flute and xylophone for a couple seconds, then followed up by a kettle-drum 'bowmp!', which is usually used to indicate that somebody hosed something up in a comical way.

I'm looking for a specific video of a song by the band Midori. The lead singer is playing guitar, it's at a smaller venue that's crowded, there might be obnoxious fast camera zoom ins/outs.

I heard this song playing at a Goodwill and they had the video on the monitor so I can describe that too. It was probably a minor hit from the 90s or later (other songs played on the channel were "Rhythm Nation", Gary Numan's "Cars", and "Smells Like Teen Spirit"). The one I'm looking for was vaguely melancholy/uplifting rock-pop. I think the lyrics might have included something about "now I know" or "I'm beginning to understand". I realized it sounded a bit like something Brandon Flowers might do (but like most things he sounds like, probably predates him, and it's definitely not him). The video was mostly just the band on stage, but I think they had audience shots too. It actually looked more like they filmed most of it in a studio but pretended it was a live show by cutting in the footage. I think it was all in black & white but the color on the monitor was pretty washed out. The lead singer was a young white guy, and he had kind of a full babyish face.

I heard a song a while ago that I've never been able to identify. It was on a radio station that played music from the 70's and 80's, and it was slower and melancholy. It was about a man who slept by the river and was haunted by a woman, maybe Sally? I think there was a line about how she could make a blind man see. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Yeah, neither of those. I realize how worthless that description is. Especially since I tried to Google around this morning and found a bunch of similar songs. One male singer, up tempo but not a positive vibe, the bass was real fuzzy, the horns were used kind of like punctuation, there was a section where the drums were doing kind of a pitch shifting thing. Sounded almost industrial without the horns.

Possible bands to consider : The Jam (can't think of anything with horns punctuating it), The Specials (strong reggae influence), or Fishbone (funky American style). Another shot with a popular song: BIg Audio Dynamite's "Rush" (rhythm-heavy, but no real horns, and has a very weird middle section) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h8zs898lr4

At a restaurant where the song on the overheads and the song in the kitchen are completely different and they're both loud enough to make identifying either annoyingly difficult. The kitchen song at the moment is something late 90s or early 00s rock with bouncy riffs and a flute solo? The vocals have the same sort of stop-start rhythm as A Perfect Circle's "Rose" but definitely isn't that. The song in the restaurant proper is Cypress Hill, that's easy enough.

Looking for a track I just heard in a cafe. I was leaving and wasn't near enough the speaker for Shazam to work. I did grab a wee 10 second audio clip but it's very faint and there are people talking in the background (or foreground, I guess): https://soundcloud.com/davidgalletly/cafe-song/s-rTBO7 It's a pretty ambient track with a looping synth and etherial female vocals over the top (no lyrics as far as I could tell). Has slight Ambient Works Vol.2 vibes. I know I've heard it before but can't place it. Didn't catch too much of it so can't say if drums kick in or anything but don't imagine it goes anywhere crazy. The type of thing you'd hear in documentaries and things.

Sounds quite like Grouper to me, though I couldn't give you an exact song of hers... Also Julia Holter's first album, Sanguine, is very much in that vein e: Had some time to dig around and the Grouper song it reminds me of most is Tidal Wave, around the 5 minute mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDa_tVsmyE8&t=296s Allyn fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Jan 15, 2018 |
