What is this song? Losing my mind ...

[VanellopeVonSchweetz99]

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?!

It's not something by John Grant? He sounds very much like the Divine Comedy - does some lovely ballads - they lyrics are brilliant - listen

Ooh! Hang on.... it's not something from Nick Cave Skeleton Tree album is it, there's a track in it called 'I Need You' but others could be contenders. Fantastic album.

Push it - salt n pepa

Angie by the Rolling Stones?

are you sure its not the arctic monkeys - i wanna be yours?

Argh! I've just read the whole thread, despite having heard of barely any of the music suggested. And I still don't know what it is. But lots of links to listen to, so..l

@NoToast

I thought the same thing when the op said I want you!
Heartbreaking ' I neeed you' nothing really matters'
😭

Saw him live at Bournemouth in 2017, extraordinary!

It's not Nothing else matters by Metallica is it?

Not sure if anyone has said savage garden and I want you. I can’t search cause my browsers broke.

Is it grace by Jeff Buckley

I'm hearing Push It by Salt n Pepa too. So therefore I'm going with:

The Kinks - You really got me.

i reckon its Higher Love by James Vincent McMorrow. Not quite the tune you hummed by near enough and ticks all the boxes. Not sure if it’s been used recently in any tv shows though.

How is this still going after over a month?!

I thought arctic monkeys I wanna be yours as well.

Although it doesn’t really sound like it from the OPs description...

But that’s what I thought straightaway.

Has anyone suggested "one republic- I lived"?

I'm catching up now, crazy week & poorly DCs, many thanks!
(No it's not Salt n Pepa but I can see how my humming sounds a bit similar.)

If It Means That Much To You - A Day To Remember?

My daughter was singing in the shower and it sounded JUST like your humming.

Elliot Smith: Checking out some great tracks but so far not, sorry.
John Grant: Checking out tracks, no luck so far but thanks, it's good stuff.
Nick Cave I need You - I think it's been mentioned before, it's great but not it.
Stones Angie - OK I got tingles. One of the closest to date! But not it.
Not Kinks, not Higher Love, sorry.
It's not Metallica, or Savage Garden, sorry.
It's not Jeff Buckley Grace, but a very good suggestion.
Arctic Monkeys I wanna be yours - So, so in the right ballpark! But not it.
One Republic - I Lived - is lovely but a bit too quick & cheerful, sorry.
A day to Remember - Very very good suggestion, just the right pace, similar-ish melody, but unfortunately not it.

Marshmello - sorry, not it. So catchy though!

The more I think about it the more I want to say John Lennon.
Dammit, dammit, stupid brain!

Sorry about the bad humming, best I can do.

Haven't RTFT, but your OP made me think of the True Blood soundtrack, apologies if it's already been suggested

Jace Everett - Bad Things

I joined just now just to answer this! Is it woah woooohh I wanna be a rockstar? Nickel back? Have that in my head ATM LOVE it

George Harrison:
While My Guitar Gently Weeps

John Lennon:
How do you sleep
Working class hero

Foo Fighters:
Wheels
Still

Travelling Wilbury's
Handle with care (too happy I expect)

Bit of a wild card, but Glasvegas "You"?

Funnily enough the other day DD said it's not 'I want you (she's so heavy)- The Beatles' is it?
