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?!

That bit in Turn is very Oasis...

BarbarAnna · 29/05/2019 21:04

Live Forever?

BarbarAnna · 29/05/2019 21:08

Although sounds nothing like the Aguilera track (please don’t let it be Oasis).

Moto Boy - Keep Your Darkness Secret is the most similar sound I've managed to find. Listened to all his other tracks but no. It's also somewhat like Divine Comedy's Everybody Knows.
Sorry!

'If I Get High', Nothing But Thieves
Fuck me that is close. Not the one, but how did you DO that?

I also have a niggling suspicion I need to check out The Killers and Shearwater for some reason, what say you experts? No idea why I'm thinking this, but I am.

Is there really high notes op.Could it be Panic At The Disco

BarbarAnna · 29/05/2019 21:29

Listening to If I get High now. Reminding me of SO MANY other songs, but one on the tip of my tongue that I can’t quite get to.

Mangoandbroccoli · 29/05/2019 21:35

Agh I was convinced that was going to be it! Loving the Spotify playlist, what a great post this is!

implantsandaDyson · 29/05/2019 21:36

If the Killers are niggling at you, try Goodnight Travel Well.

coffeecuppa · 29/05/2019 21:48

Wires by Athlete?

GameOfGroans · 29/05/2019 21:51

Gavin Degraw - I don't want to be !?!?

This is what I immediately thought!

JaneJeffer · 29/05/2019 22:18

Red that is amazing. Well done!

IWantMyHatBack · 29/05/2019 23:41

I think The Killers is a good shout. One sec...

acatcalledjohn · 30/05/2019 00:25

I have just found this thread and a quick skim through made me think of this. I haven't seen it mentioned but then again, I did only skim the thread.

by Choir of Young Believers. Was the theme tune for The Bridge (the original Scandi version).
IWantMyHatBack · 30/05/2019 01:05

Nah, it's not going to be hollow talk (but yay for hearing that again)

DesertSky · 30/05/2019 20:59

OP, it’s not from the Twilight saga soundtrack is it? Blush

Keane: somewhere only we know
Mumford & Sons: golden slumbers

If you have Spotify you could use it to listen to one of the similar songs and it’ll link to others like it?

whatareyoudoingneil · 30/05/2019 22:46

Owwww I was sure that it would be discovered by the time I got to the end of this thread!

stupidis · 31/05/2019 07:35

Determined that it has to be this -

Just saw the trailer to The Goldfinch and it's used in that.
Told you I am way overinvested.

Hermano · 31/05/2019 07:47

I'm really excited for next weds when I work from home and can listen to this playlist all day. What a great thread!
