It's a song one...

Arghhh! It's driving me mad!

Heard it in a restaurant over the weekend, and remembered how much I liked it but haven't heard it for years.

Think I was listening to it maybe 15ish years ago. I think it was quite recent then..

Slow song. About love I think, a breakup. Solo female singer. Not much in the way of backing music, quite simple sounding.

I had it in my head it was Kelly Clarkson but now I'm not sure, have searched her songs and not came across it.

Any ideas after my detailed description? Grin

@Seasideanticscanleadtosandybuckets sadly no words at all 🤦🏼‍♀️

@ThreeRingCircus so glad you're enjoying my misery 😉

Still no correct guesses! Just had to listen to Breakaway, as suggested, but nope.

I'm jumping in the shower now but I'll be back!

Torn Natalie imbrulia. (sp?)

Can you hum it? If so, message Scott Mills, Radio 2 and the Music Police, they are excellent at finding people's ear worms!

mnahmnah · 04/08/2023 21:37

There you’ll be, Faith Hill?

A thousand miles, Juliet Carlton?

A Norah Jones song?

RosaSkye · 04/08/2023 21:38

Pink? Adele?

Instinct1 · 04/08/2023 21:39

Adele - Someone Like You?

Ireallywantsomechips · 04/08/2023 21:42

If you thought it was Kelly Clarkson does that mean it’s pop? A sort of Pink/Avril/Ashlee Simpson type?

@ThreeRingCircus sadly no lyrics materialised!

@HappyCatty unfortunately I cannot remember the tune or lyrics, very helpful I know Grin

@Ireallywantsomechips yes I think so! I started trying to find the song last night and gave up, but Kelly Clarkson was my first search. It reminded me of Because of You, due to the simplicity I think.

Still no correct suggestions!

ShatteredMum23 · 04/08/2023 21:54

Unfaithful Rihanna?

ShatteredMum23 · 04/08/2023 21:55

Unwritten Natasha beddingfield?

Vanillalime · 04/08/2023 21:55

Sarah Bareilles - Love Song (maybe a bit too upbeat??)
Rihanna - Hate That I Love You
Keyshia Cole - I Remember
Jordin Sparks - Battlefield

Any of these?? 🎶

ShatteredMum23 · 04/08/2023 21:55

I'm with you - avril lavinge?

TitoMojito · 04/08/2023 21:58

Just a Dream - Carrie Underwood? Or another Carrie song? She has a kind of Kelly Clarkson like voice

Ireallywantsomechips · 04/08/2023 21:59

Was it My Immortal by Evenescence (sp?) - simple tinkly piano and strong voice?

TitoMojito · 04/08/2023 21:59

Plus they both won American Idol one after the other so easy to confuse them

TitoMojito · 04/08/2023 22:00

(Oh according to Google Carrie won the fourth series lol. Close enough Grin)

justmyluck1234 · 04/08/2023 22:01

Love song - Sara Bareilles ?
