Help me out with a song that's at least 20 years old. Solo woman with a guitar. Slow song, kinda wistful. Only lyrics I remember are: "All I want to do, is to spend some time with you, so I can hold you."

The version by This Mortal Coil (featuring Kim Deal and Tanya Donnelly) is one of my favorite songs. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YwRzdCkzRHE

I heard this song on the muzak feed where I worked, within a couple of years of 2000. Female vocalist, low and mellow, and the chorus had a horn hook like what I tried to replicate here: https://phallen1.com/song.html

A song I heard on my local oldies station recently (yeah, I'm a Millennial who listens to oldies on the radio). I want to say that it's a Monkees song but I'm not exactly sure; if it is the Monkees, it's not one like Daydream Believer that gets a lot of airplay. Something about a bum who has been selected to receive government help but at the end of the song the bum is quite happy with his life. e: Never mind, I found it - D.W Washburn.

Not quite a song, but what is the “Yeah!” Sample used in tons of old hip hop? 4 3 2 1 by LL Cool J uses it most prominently that I’ve heard lately, but it’s stuck in my brain now.

Ok, so this song is like almost a country song and lives in the category of Dire Straits/Genesis/the 80s. It starts out with a really well known melody that's almost like a whistle or an organ Dooooooooo, doodoo-doodoo dooooooo Doo-doo doo-doo doooooo (mans voice: woohoo!) Doodoo-doo doooooo.. ... anything?

That song comes up all the time here for some reason. I guess it's ubiquitous and earwormy but the title lyric isn't particularly memorable and doesn't come on the earwormy part.

I am surprised Baker Street does not come up more often, given Gerry Rafferty's singing on that song is so subdued as to functionally not exist compared to the exploding saxophone. I swear it took me five times learning what that song was called before I actually heard him sing the name

Almost positive it is an 80s pop song (thought it may be considered classic rock now). Pretty sure it is a very well known song by a very well known artist. The only thing I know is a non-verbal part that goes "Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh oh". I don't remember it being distinctly male or female (could have been a harmony of both). That's not much to go on, but I can tell you the melody and cadence of the "whoa oh oh" part is almost identical, but a little bit slower than, "Ain't got no home" by Clarence 'Frogman' Henry. It is also not by Dire Straits or Gerry Rafferty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIvy9nSlZf0&t=35s

Caught the back half of a song on the radio this afternoon. Can't remember the lyrics, but they did say it was by Linda Ronstadt, which amused me because the couple of songs of hers I had heard before I hadn't liked. Guitar reminded me a bit of the Beatles' Yesterday, in both sound and chord progression. The song had strings, very baroque pop that initially made me think it was (probably) older than what this has to be by a few years. I had initially thought it was 1965-67ish because it felt like Wrecking Crew stuff of that era.

In finally just clicking on a ton of Ronstadt songs, I figured it out. This ended up being from 1970. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OADhKjNz8mI Through the clicking around, I realized that a) I had heard more of her songs than I thought and b) this is going to be the only song of hers that clicks for me in the slightest.

Not Linkin Park but sounded kind of Linkin Park adjacent. Heavy use of those 'male chant' keyboard voices. Male singer except for like a bridge I think. Couldn't really make out the lyrics except I think I heard something like 'close[r?] to sublime' rhymed with 'lies' and then 'sing hallelujah' but this was DEFINITELY NOT the worship song 'sing hallelujah' which is cluttering all my search results. God drat the bad sound system in my gym

Heard it on a dying college radio station yesterday, no DJ and no show scheduling means they're just shuffling the ENTIRE station playlist and it leads to some great songs, like this one. It also means they don't have the track listing up anymore, since noone is in to maintain it. Female fronted punk, more towards pop punk/easy punk. Super high voice, very clear & almost breath-y. Only remember two words as the chorus started, sounded like "go easy". It was taken from a live album (I can't imagine the station would risk using some rip of a Youtube concert vid or anything, so I assume it has to be an official live album); the crowd was super into it and singing along. In the bridge it was only bass/drums and the singer thanked the bassist for keeping the groove or thereabouts. Vaguely remember the pre-chorus having the guitar drop out for just bass/drums, kept the tempo up and then everything came back together for the chorus. Ugh. I knew I should have stopped in some random parking lot and downloaded Shazam before it finished.

Give them a listen and either her voice will be instantly recognizable as the one or it won't be.

this is gonna be hella vague and i'm so sorry but i was under duress when i heard it and now it's driving me nuts. i was in a harley dealership bathroom nearly falling over from heat exhaustion and i heard the riff. clean guitar (maybe bass), no distortion. even time, no percussion. if i had to do the sound it'd be like "dun dun dun dundundun dundundun dundundun" where the note progression was "down up down upupup downdowndown downdowndown". clean vocals, i only recall the word "she" as the opening word for one of the lines, which isn't super helpful. was a slower song for sure. i don't remember any crescendo to the song where they kicked in distortion or maybe not even percussion but i maybe only heard half the song so that might not be accurate. it was mellow at least. would've been probably mid-90s grunge/alternative/rock. probably lumped in the same pile as sound garden, stp, alice in chains, and all that stuff. i'm almost certain the voice wasn't chris cornell or anything whiny. it was on some station that was also playing our lady peace and pearl jam. terrible description, i know. it's all i can remember from the terrible moment. i've been combing alternative playlists on spotify. please send help. EDIT: thinking back to it, maybe it's more in the lane of fuel and days of the new? that kinda post-grunge thing? i'm probably making it more murky. bottom line no overdrive/compression/distortion that i recall, minimal percussion if any. clean singing. still hella 90s sounding. knuthgrush fucked around with this message at 02:58 on May 23, 2023 |

I've had a power metal track stuck in the back of my head for over a week now and I can't remember the drat song for the life of me. It's something along the lines of Brainstorm or Gamma Ray and all I remember is them singing about seeking "shelter from the storm." I can also vaguely remember the main riff if there's some way of sharing that.

Throwing some ideas out there based on what you're describing Bush - Glycerine Live - Lightning Crashes Are either of these in the neighborhood? Faster/slower?
