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?!

Could it be Sound of silence by Disturbed

Or - Attention - Charlie Puth ?

sackrifice · 23/05/2019 23:48

Are you sure it isn't radiohead?
I want to be Jim Morrison?
'Anyone can play guitar' from Pablo Honey.

Is it 'I Found' by Amber Run?

stiffstink · 24/05/2019 00:23

Or more wistful-
James Vincent McMorrow, Glacier.
Ray Lamontagne, Be Here Now.
Not necessarily those songs but maybe that type of slower angsty thing.

Worsethingshappenatsea · 25/05/2019 23:14

I keep checking this to see if anyone guessed right yet .
@stiffstink I think that could be the one !! 🤞

TheWoollybacksWife · 25/05/2019 23:29

Is it the theme to True Detective?

Pieceofpurplesky · 26/05/2019 12:24

I can't do this as every time I read the opening line I burst in to 'I want to be under the sea in an octopus' garden in the shade'

Bluesheep8 · 26/05/2019 12:45

Still waiting for the answer! Confused

Barkette · 26/05/2019 13:03

Where is my mind? There are a few versions of it

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 28/05/2019 16:50

I'm not making it up I swear!
Been away for a few days and now going through the suggestions, thank you.

If you have Spotify or similar try going through the Now albums and see if they are there? That's my go to when I get a song stuck!

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 28/05/2019 17:10

Charlie Puth - Attention is SO close, but beat is too quick.
Not want to be Jim Morrison or 'Anyone can play guitar', sorry
Not Sound of Scilence by disturbed.
Not Birdy - Wings but v good, v close, might have heard a male singer do a cover, but not quite there.
Gotye - great track & video, had forgotten it existed, but not the one, sorry.
James Vincent McMorrow - Glacier , closest I've come to feeling "that might be it"! I will check out his other tracks, thanks you.
Ray Lamontage, again, very much from the right town, will check out more tracks!
True Detective theme - great suggestion, didn't think of that! Not the one though.
Where is my Mind - great track, great suggestion, wouldn't have thought of it, but sorry, no.

Did I say I love you all?

LittleMissCwtch ah, good suggestion! It IS very catchy (in my mind), enough not to be too obscure. That's my thinking anyway.
My fear is that it's a minor SIA track or something, ie I got the gender wrong, (I really don't follow music) and you will all laugh at me and mock. Blush

Chris Cornell??

stiffstink · 28/05/2019 20:47

I'm well chuffed that I am close with my suggestions.... going to have a think about some other tunes by those artists.

stiffstink · 28/05/2019 21:05

James Vincent McMorrow did an amazing cover of Chris Isaac's Wicked Game (mentioned by someone else above).

Slow spooky build, gets higher, bit of la la la la, bit of somebody etc etc.

"I never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you"
