I've actually never heard this song before, but that's interesting just the same. I really wish I knew what I was thinking of.

This probably isn't what you are thinking of, but the verse of My Iron Lung sounds a lot to me like a slowed down chorus of Echo and The Bunnymen - Killing Moon.

Moreoever, does anyone recognize the intro to this track?. It sounds like something off a rap album from the mid 90s.

Sounds to me like Stone Cold Samuel "Thuglyfe" Barber droppin a funky beat on Adagio For Strings (choral remix featuring his homies from the Choir Of Trinity College, Cambridge).

Trying to find a sports team intro song. I think it's pretty new. I think I've heard it for a few basketball teams and I was at the A's vs Red Sox game today and I heard it there.

Funny you mention Iron Maiden, because I was thinking this song sounded a lot like something from Seventh Son. Moonchild maybe.

I'm thinking of a song maybe from the 90s-00s that I think was from an upbeat hard rock band in a style similar to something like Weezer or Chumbawumba. I'm not even sure if I have the words right, but it seems like he was saying:

something something something (short pause) LIKE THAT!
something something something (short pause) LIKE THAT!

Maybe it was "I LIKE THAT!" or "IT'S LIKE THAT!"

I searched google for "like that" lyrics and it is not Webbie, Jojo, Black Eyed Peas, T.I., Hot Chelle Rae, Guy Sebestain, nor 3 Doors Down. The Guy Sebestian song is actually very close in cadence and they way they say LIKE THAT, but the song I'm thinking of is more hard rock.

All I think of when I see "It's like that!" is "Run-D.M.C. vs. Jason Nevins", and now that's in my head!

I figured it out. It is from a movie my 2 year old daughter likes to watch called "Happily N'Ever After 2". It has been bugging me for a couple weeks wondering where I heard that song, and she watched the show this morning.

Heard this song while passing by and I didn't have my phone with me so I couldn't use an app to ID it. Seems like a 80s or 90s song, with a male singer. The chorus has a soft beat and one part sounds like either "I'll do anything" or "make me do anything" in a falsetto-sorta male voice with "thing" going up in pitch. But the parts after the chorus sound a little deeper with a harder beat. Not much to go on, sorry.

There's a part of this song I really like. From 0:12 to 0:19 there's a magnificent string part (or what I assume to be string) and I would love if anyone knew any music that used this "style" lot.

This has been bugging me ever since the album came out, and long ago I gave up on trying to figure it out but maybe someone can help. The main melody riff in this song, I'm 99% sure, is ripped off from/incredibly similar to the riff in an old, and popular, song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv7vWV-uNMc

I know some riffs sound super familiar because lots of songs have used them, but there's a specific song that one is ripping and it's driving me batty now that I'm listening to the album again.

(I'm referring to the horn(?) riff that starts at 0:04 and goes through the whole song).

I'm pretty sure that piece was in Hannibal (or maybe Silence of the Lambs). If it is Hannibal, then Hanz Zimmer would be the composer.

Is there a much more toned down version of I Will Wait by Mumford & Sons? I heard the original today for the first time and recognized it, but it seems like the version I heard before wasn't so upbeat. I'm thinking it was the same person singing, but it had a sadder feel. I checked youtube and am definitely NOT thinking of the Hootie version.

I don't think what I heard was one of the covers from youtube. I'm about positive I heard it either on on an indie (indy, indi?) rock station or maybe as background music in a commercial.

I seem to remember an even more stripped down version existing too, though. I thought for sure it was going to be a Sirius XMU live version but it doesn't look like they ever did I Will Wait on the show.

That has the feel but something seems like it is missing ;)

I checked the website of the radio station I think I heard it on and Mumford was in the studio and played at least one song. I'm guessing I must have been listening that night and they played I Will Wait in the studio.

This is a song I've heard a couple of times on a local classic rock station. It has a sad gritty blues feel very similar to Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs", but a little more 4/4 upbeat sounding. The singer's voice is also very similar to someone like Robin Trower or Joe Cocker.

The lyrics to what I assume the chorus is

[something that rhymes with "give it away"] hey
[something something something]
Give it awaaay
Coming back tomorrow just like today


and then a part of one of the verses that I could make out:

Take a second, baby, everybody's learning to breathe.

I was at work and on a call when the song came on the radio, so I didn't get a chance to write down any of the other lyrics. I figured with that much, it would pop right up on a google search, but no luck at all.

That's it, thanks! How did you know what it was? I looked up the lyrics on google to see why I wasn't able to find it in a search and the lyrics on the internet almost, but don't really, match up to what he is singing.

One is a song a composer made after reading about a story where all light left the world and all of earth goes mad burning things for their light. Or maybe the piece was just written about that concept without being inspired by a story?

Not a song, but an album cover. This is for a friend, so I don't have a lot of details. Album cover is a man (probably a photo) possibly wearing a pageboy hat.

I heard a song on the radio when I was driving home tonight. The station was 89.3 "The Current" out of Minneapolis or somewhere in the Twin Cities. They play everything from new stuff by local bands, to 1950s blues, to French pop from the late 60s, so I have no idea which era/genre this song is from. It is a female singer and the words I think I remember are "You don't know the death of my soul" and then "death of my soul" was repeated several times through the song. The style of the singing and music was along the sames lines as Yello - The Rhythm Divine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtmMGODfhc0.

Not it I'm afraid. I think it's less "beautiful female voice" and more "hoarse ballad".

So this (here) is the latest single from Jenny Lewis, which is in constant rotation on KUTX, but there's a riff that I know that sounds almost exactly like that opening, reverb-drenched, definitely 60s-70s, or inspired by the same. I first thought "The Kinks?" but I can't place what song it might have been.

If you reverse that riff, it would be pretty close to Supertramp "Give a Little Bit".

To specify I'm talking about the bit from 0:54 to 0:57 and 1:26. Of course its entirely possible that what its reminding me of is hearing this song as a kid, thanks for your answers, got me into some nice songs

I can't pick out a particular song, but when you narrow it down that much, it makes me think of something from a Gordon Lightfoot song.

edit: "Please Don't Judas Me" by Nazareth also comes to mind.

Looking for a song late 80's early 90's, with a singer like Steve Winwood in Higher Love. I keep hearing the harmony of the chorus but not the words, something like "Change in me and a change in you" or a "fire in me fire in you" I'm pretty sure of the me and you part but whats in front of it could be anything.

Off by about a decade, but maybe "Follow you, Follow me" by Genesis?

Glass Joe posted:

I always hear this one but miss the lyrics. It sounds like late 70's-early 80's soft rock and has a chorus of synth chime that goes Dee doo, dee doodeedoo followed by a rising ooh, ooh, oooh-oohwooo! from the band. Any ideas?

This is going to be a hell of a thing if I am right, but "Throwing It All Away" by Genesis?
