Long shot, but I've had this stuck in my head for about 6 weeks and not been able to figure it out. Hip hop, or maybe an R&B track (but probably not), which has a really minimal beat that's exactly the same melody as the backing vocals in this Count Bass D track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlX1h5uiCUM&t=26s only instead of being a sample of that, it's played on a keyboard. Maybe shifted down a semitone, possibly to a minor key? Not sure. Has the same kinda feel as some of Nas's Lost Tapes, but it's not that.

Hip hop track, hardcore/gangsta stuff, has gunshots in the beat during the hook. I think it was a guy from Philly, but could def. be wrong on that. Came out earlier than 2011. Video is shot at night. About all I can remember...

OozieNelson posted:I heard this song on the radio, wrote down some of the lyrics to look it up and I can't find it still. It sounds like a modern upbeat rock/indie song. The chorus says "(something) get better, (something) get better." And right before he says it one time the lyrics are "But if this was the end then where was the start". Any help would be greatly appreciated, Bleachers - I Wanna Get Better? Entirely possible you've tried it and it's not that but worth asking  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8twpQTna_9w

prussian advisor posted:This is actually a request to identify an instrument, not a song. I think it's just a regular trumpet, frankly. The liner credits (as transcribed onto discogs, at least) only credit a guy playing the trumpet. When I think of that type of sound I think of Alone Again Or by Love, and that too just credits a trumpeter.

Rubies posted:IDK but it's cool. One of the most prominent things they mention is Thom Yorke's sound track, it's 3rd to the accolades and narrator. His albums have a lot of that synth hi-hat thing going on and the way it uses minor notes to make something happyish sound "off" is classic TY. I feel like having someone like him score your indie film is a BFD and I can't imagine they'd lead the trailer with anything else. The full soundtrack is here and it doesn't seem to be on there. My gut says it may well be a piece off the soundtrack for the other film it mentions, but I can only find these two from it, and it's neither of those

NESguerilla posted:This might be a hard one, and it's group not a specific song, but I used to have an album of an 80's or possibly very early 90's group. I think it was rap, and it was two black guys who had a fashion sense that reminded me of Milli Vanilli. I believe they were on the cover and the cover was blue. The main thing I remember about it is that the beats had an electro/industrial edge to them. I had the album probably 10 years ago and thought it was really catchy and ahead of it's time. They may have something like Wrex in their name (I'm really not sure if this is true I could be wrong about that) but it was definitely not Wreckx in Effect. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Kinda a shot in the dark buuut maybe Whodini?

Flux Equals Rad posted:Heard what I'm guessing is a pretty recent, "chill", pop song in a store in the mall yesterday, H&M or some place like that. The only lyric I can remember is the chorus going something like "Baby ooohh ooooohh oooohhh" which is basically ungoogleable. I think the verse was kind of a reverb-y 2 chord mellotron thing. Maybe Grimes - Realiti? I'm thinking of the bit after 3:20 or so on the demo or after 3:40 on the album version

Human Tornada posted:OK, I know this is a long shot, but anyways... I heard this song on a local public radio station that reminded me of Nevermind by Leonard Cohen, where it had a deep voiced man and (maybe) a woman and he was sort of talk-singing or reciting poetry. I was a little drunk but the only line I could remember was towards the end and was something like "What does your sparkle truly protect" but google doesn't return any results so evidently I got some of the words wrong. Searching for "your sparkle truly" brings up some random guy's hiking blog where he quotes a guy called Ken Nordine saying "What does your sparkle truly portend? Shimmering brilliance, light without end", which is presumably it. He doesn't name the song, unfortunately, and further googling seems to suggest no one else on the entire internet has quoted it(!), but after listening to 15 seconds of this guy on youtube it's almost certainly him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVYpCdY4Y_0 Can't go any more specific than that, though, but it's a good starting point to search around from.

Pop song, female singer. Think it's recent but it has a sorta 90s thing to it so I could be wayyy off. Chorus centres on the line "<something> in the middle of nowhere" (stranded? standing?) but trying to search for it just gives me Dusty Springfield. I've heard it a bunch lately so it may be something super big but I've never seen anything saying who it's by

Might be a bit too obvious, but maaaybe Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to Love? End of the chorus kinda hangs on the note, has some harmonies in there, right era, pretty uptempo, American band... My other thought was Sunshine of Your Love but I'm even less confident of that

The song also has what sounds like a childrens choir. As I recall, the old man and the childrens choir were singing at different times. They might have been repeating eachother slightly.

Pop song, think mid-to-late 90s, maaaaybe early 00s at a stretch. Pretty sure it had a female singer, and was British -- it was certainly a hit here, anyway. Chorus has these two notes made by something that sounds like a church bell, going G# G (I think, certainly a semitone apart) as minims, before repeating G# G G# G as quavers. Closest I've found is Feel It by The Tamperer feat. Maya, but unlike that it wasn't EDM I don't think, and the church bell melody is very different

Sordas Volantyr posted:I was listening to Real Jazz on Sirius earlier tonight, and there was a piece called Blues March that I really liked by a string quartet that I frustratingly forgot the name of. To make matters worse, the only song called Blues March that I can find seems to be an entirely different composition. It was all strings (and maybe a smidge of drums) and there was a bit halfway through or so where the violin really went to town. This site has a playlist for that station, and at 9PM was playing Uptown String Quartet - Blues March. No sign of it on YouTube or Spotify to be able to confirm or listen to it again immediately, but I'd wager that's what you should be looking for Amazon appears to have a copy of an album with a track by that name on it, fwiw

Devils Affricate posted:Not a song, but a musical genre. It's an all-instrumental style using an ensemble consisting of what I can identify as violins (often playing pizzicato), flutes, clarinets, and oboes, with no bass or percussion. It has a bright and energetic sound, and, at least in my mind, is often associated with the zeitgeist of rapid technological development in the USA during the 1950s and 1960s. The original Sims game provides a few good examples in its soundtrack: Easy listening is the term I've seen used for this kind of thing
