This is not going to be easy! Grin I'm showing my age and will probably come across as a bit weird but here goes....

I used to listen to Terry Wogan on R2 on my way to work and he played this song almost every day for quite a while... Could have been any time 2000-2007 Grin I've not heard it since but I loved it!

I have NO idea who sang it ... I don't know what it's called and I don't know any lines...

I'm not religious at all but It's got a 'Christian' message .all about God loving us etc. and how wonderful life is..it was quite repetitive at times.

It was by someone well known and I remember thinking at the time that the person had been part of a group at one point. Even as far back as the '70s
They had other songs with a religious message too but not all of them did...

I thought it was Van Morrison, Aaron Neville, James Taylor but I don't know...

That's all I've got!

I don't stand a chance finding it do I?!

I can't help but you've given me a brain itch for a song that I can't remember from that era too.

It was a Christian singer (not just a Christian theme) and had 'Oh oh oh oh ooh oh' in the chorus. And that's it as far as my rusty brain and the lyrics go - an.oy.ing.

I hope the MN massive find your answer.

I'm bound to remember mine at 2.30am

Elodie2019 · 09/11/2019 13:13

None of the below but I Used to love 'if God was one of us'
Here's a link! It's lovely! Grin

My brain sprang into action as soon as I clicked off MN

This is the song I couldn't remember, Phil Wickham, Beautiful.

Any chance this is it?

If not sorry to brag that I've got rid of my brain itch while you still have yours.

Elodie2019 · 09/11/2019 13:13

Btw, If was definitely a male vocalist x

The Christians - Ideal World.

Idbemonica1 · 09/11/2019 22:07

Do not give up hope OP. Like you i have been chasing a song that i cannot remember for over a year, joined Spotify last year determined to find it all to no avail ☹. Read your post yesterday and thought at least i'm not alone in this madness!
And tonight, out of the blue, after more than a year, the lyrics popped into my head! Thank goodness for google! I now have my song. Which turned out to be...
Keeping the dream alive. By a band i've never heard of. 🤣

Elodie2019 · 09/11/2019 22:45

Idbemonica That's amazing! Grin It's weird how things come back to you at strange times!

I've thought about this damn song so many times over the years! I was always driving when I heard it and loved it!

DJs don't always tell you what they're playing and of course 12-20 years ago we didn't have SIRI to ask (!!) or a display in the car telling us what it was!

I'm sure one day I'll hear it again! Smile

Elodie2019 · 09/11/2019 22:46

Not 'Christians- ideal world' unfortunately Smile

Elodie2019 · 09/11/2019 22:49

Maybe some cars had displays on the radio but not mine! (Still doesn't!!!) Changed my car a few years ago- the one I had before this one still had a tape player!! GrinGrinGrin

Any of these ones maybe?

MajesticWhine · 09/11/2019 23:21

There's a playlist on Spotify called Terry Wogan's Favourites. Might be worth a look.

soundsg00d · 09/11/2019 23:21

Any chance it could be Pretty Amazing Grace by Neil Diamond ?

Toitoitoi · 09/11/2019 23:27

Maybe a song by Cat Stevens? I'll have a look.

Toitoitoi · 09/11/2019 23:29

Wild World?

Toitoitoi · 09/11/2019 23:37

Also Cat Stephens

choirmumoftwo · 09/11/2019 23:48

Not Neil Diamond 'Pretty Amazing Grace?

choirmumoftwo · 09/11/2019 23:53

Just realised someone else has suggested this!

SirVixofVixHall · 09/11/2019 23:58

I have no idea but am now invested in finding out.

Toitoitoi · 10/11/2019 00:20

Grin Yes I need to know too.

FruitSaladSandwich · 10/11/2019 00:39

This was played on a Terry Wogan show in November 2006, although I’m not sure the singer is famous enough (if you’re in the UK, anyway)

Try asking on this board....someone there helped me find a song based on the little I could remember!
