If anyone gets it then they are a genius! Can’t remember any lyrics or who it’s by but it’s a female singer, very similar vibes to moonlight shadow by Mike oldfield. Maybe about a failed relationship but I can’t remember. So basically I’m asking what songs are like moonlight shadow 😂
the longest shot ever I know…

I remember a female singer doing a cover of that. It was on an old Clubland Cd.

Lol I have no clue - I’m so bad at figuring these things out but I’m really keen to see if someone figured it out!

Random guess but I always associate Northern Lights by Renaissance with Moonlight Shadow. Don't ask me why as I have no idea except they both have cracking tunes!

I’ll be amazed if they do!
but I’m really annoyed with myself because I can’t think of any possible way to listen to this song ever again if I can’t remember what it was!!

Tears In The Rain - Maggie Reilly?

Wisterical · 31/12/2023 17:33

Could it be Mirrors by Sally Oldfield?
Or Silly Games by Janet Kay?

Relaxd · 31/12/2023 17:33

Moondance?

Nolongera · 31/12/2023 17:33

Judy Tzuke stay with me till dawn?

MrsWinkly · 31/12/2023 17:33

Was it by Barbara Dickinson or something like that? - you the kind of song from that era. I'm scratching my head now... (also feeling old 😁)

menopausalmare · 31/12/2023 17:33

Maggie Reilly has a similar sound to Kirstie McColl. Could it be one of hers?

menopausalmare · 31/12/2023 17:35

Sorry, Kirsty MacColl.

Twist in my Sobriety by Tanita Tikaram?

SpeculatingRooks · 31/12/2023 17:37

Something by All About Eve? Martha's Harbour maybe. Or a Kate Bush song?

HedgehogPrincess · 31/12/2023 17:37

Loreena McKennitt?

Ah Martha's Harbour. Haven't heard this in ages!! Away to download it x

BestIsWest · 31/12/2023 17:42

I think it’s Mirrors too.

Utini · 31/12/2023 17:44

I heard a song recently that reminded me of Moonlight Shadow and it turned out to be the same singer. It's called To France.

Jann Arden?
