What is this song? Losing my mind ...

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?!

OK, let me ask you this:
Who are the fairly big guy pop singers for the past, say, six years? Like the male Sia or Robyn?
Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Rag & Bone Man? Tell me others please?
I'm so out of it with pop (too old/disinterested) and DCs still too young, I just don't know where to start searching/listening. And this is def. pop but with an emo, grungey sound.

This might be a way to look through the songs of AHS and seeing any ring a bell?

OK I'm cracking open a bottle of wine and checking out what you suggested above, thank you. The tune in my head still eludes me, so annoying, I was up for sharing my pitiful humming with you lovely people.
The bright side of this madness is I've discovered a lot of lovely music thanks to you!

Wishes - I want to be alone with you.
It actually doesn’t sound like your description but I’m on a mission to find it

virtuallyreal · 17/05/2019 18:15

Sorry if this has already been suggested but is it the song from the new lloyds tsb advert?

His voice goes low then high if you listen all the way to the end!

MrsT4 · 17/05/2019 18:21

I also thought Lewis Capaldi

pregnantandsuffering · 17/05/2019 18:38

Hey OP is it Fly Away by Lenny Cravitz? Not sure if it's been guessed already

VioletValentine · 17/05/2019 18:51

Is it Vance Joy - Riptide?

Tryingtogetitright · 17/05/2019 21:11

Is it the Detectorists theme music? Just watching it and thought of your thread.

BabloHoney · 17/05/2019 21:17

Alt-J are quite Radiohead-y Smile

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 17/05/2019 21:24

Hello OP

Is it this?

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 17/05/2019 21:26

Or this?

OutwiththeOutCrowd · 18/05/2019 13:02

Incase the Italian connection is significant, I'm going to suggest Jack Savoretti - Candlelight.

Lyrics not as suggested, Jack Savoretti possibly too good looking to forget, but Italian sounding and ear wormy!

ThatCurlyGirl · 18/05/2019 13:59

Still. Over. Invested.

What if we never find out?! We'll need to start a support group.

stupidis · 18/05/2019 14:19

londonmarathonhalfwaypoint · 18/05/2019 14:26

Is it the song from the Luther credits?

stupidis · 18/05/2019 14:32

justyouraveragegirl · 18/05/2019 14:45
