What is this song? Losing my mind ...

303 replies

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 14/05/2019 10:57

Male singer, slow grunge-y emo type balland, yearning vocals, slow build, melodic, quite up and down in the tones. Similar to Radiohead's Talk Show Host but less rock-y.
"I want to be ... la la la la la la" or similar vocals in the hook.
It may have been used in a recent TV programme or trailer, it's kind of spooky. Please can you help?!

Adored?
I want to be adored by The Stone Roses?

Try those sites where you song or hum in the tune and it comes up with suggestions. That might work if you know the tune.

Any more lyrics to help the music detectives amongst us?

I really don't know the lyrics! Blush
Just tried humming some into midomi.com, it came up with an italian ballad "Sin Miedo a Nada" which isn't a million miles away actually but still nowhere near.
I'd say it's from the last 10 years. The sound is like a mixture of Moto Boy: Yound Love and Radiohead: Talk Show Host.
Kind of slow, haunting, romantic.

His voice goes from low to quite high ... I know, not much help.
Currently looking through the soundtracks of every drama series I've watched recently.

It's spooky and melancholy.

Creep by Radiohead was in a drama prog recently.

It's not Creep but it's very Radiohead-inspired, yes!

Doesn't fit your description of the lyrics at all but you got me thinking of a song that was bugging me from a drama.

"I want to be (?) ...

la la la la (4 syllables ~ "alone with you"?)

slowly moving into (?)

la-la la la (3-4 syllables ~ "somebody else"?) "

NannyMcfanny · 14/05/2019 14:10

Glasvegas?

Good shout Violet. Love a bit of Artic Monkeys. Hope it’s that one Op?!

RedBerryTea · 14/05/2019 14:23

Chris Izaak, Wicked Game (I Wanna Fall in Love)?

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 14/05/2019 14:30

Maybe it is Talk Show Host you’re thinking of? It was used in Skam, have you watched that recently and half heard it maybe?
Or is it another Radiohead song, which would explain why you think Radiohead? The Thief maybe?
The lyrics are ringing bells with me........thinks thinks......

Circa waves - somebody else?
