What old song does this sound like? It's driving me mad 😣.

I heard this today, the beginning sounds like Miss Chatelaine by KD Lang, but the vocals sound like another song from the '80's(?). I'm sure it was a female singer too.

Pleeeease help.

I think it has an air of Dolly Parton singing Jolene.

Cocolapew · 14/10/2019 17:00

It definitely does but there's something else I can't put my finger on. I keep listening to it to try to start singing the other but its's not working yet Grin.
It's when she's singing the verses rather than the chorus.

Stab in the dark here (and it’s not an 80s song) but it’s not Miley Cyrus ‘Nothing Breaks Like A Heart’ is it?

Cocolapew · 14/10/2019 17:25

I don't know that Miley song but when I was googling for inspiration that kept coming up.
I'm going to listen to it now in case I get it from that Grin

Ffs that's made it worse.
Mileys sounds more like Jolene but exactly the same as the First Aid Box one Shock

The opening to Dawson's Creek?

DannyWallace · 14/10/2019 17:33

But that's maybe just the "I don't wanna wait" 😂

SetFreeTheKites · 14/10/2019 17:38

Not Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness is it? It's not 80's I know Blush

Cocolapew · 14/10/2019 17:39

Good grief the Miley Cyrus sounds really like it!
I don't know that one Danny, so no 😄

Actually just listened again and they're nothing alike! She does sound a bit like Lana though...

Branleuse · 14/10/2019 17:42

i like it. I can hear influences and samples from quite a few songs

Raahh · 14/10/2019 17:42

It's a bit Fleetwood Mac, but really, I can't get past how much like Miley it sounds.

And I really like the song, and never knew who it was by, so thanks, Coco Grin
(Has it been on an advert, I feel like I've heard it a lot?)

Hydrogenbeatsoxygen · 14/10/2019 17:43

That song was used for an advert, I think that’s where you’ve heard It.

Apolloanddaphne · 14/10/2019 17:44

I thought a bit Fleetwood Mac too and wandered off to listen to some Stevie Nicks but the voice isn't quite right.

Hydrogenbeatsoxygen · 14/10/2019 17:44

I saw First Aid Kit in Birmingham, they are a really great band.

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 14/10/2019 17:46

It definitely was in an advert for Mercedes Benz if that’s why you recognise it.

Hydrogenbeatsoxygen · 14/10/2019 17:49

It was an advert for a Renault Kadjar.

FairyJuice · 14/10/2019 17:49

Love First Aid Kit!! I think their stuff always sounds familiar in a way because they are influenced by such a variety of artists and it shows through.

Their version of Simon and Garfunkel's America is absolutely stunning.

WowOoo · 14/10/2019 17:50

It made me think of a song called Wolf Mother by First Aid Kit. No help!

Raahh · 14/10/2019 17:56

Oh, thank you all! I knew I had heard it somewhere. Grin

Oh, America is one of favourite S and G songs.

JaneJeffer · 14/10/2019 17:56

Lorde- Royals?

Cocolapew · 14/10/2019 18:06

You're welcome Raahh 😄 I definitely heard it for the first time today.
They do seem to be, um, heavily 'influenced' by a lot of other bands Hmm

Cocolapew · 14/10/2019 18:08

The very first line, it sounds so much like this other song.
Aarrrggghh

Branleuse · 14/10/2019 18:12
