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…

If you have a music streaming service, get it to play Moonlight Shadow and then ask for 'like' songs.

I think it’s Mirrors too.

Yes could be

That was about 1979/80

Mirrors always reminds me of Moonlight Shadow.
Another vague possibility could be The Sweetest Girl by Scritti Politti, male singer but high pitched.
But please say it's Mirrors, I've always wanted to solve one of these threads!

What era? Eighties? Recent?
Was it a popular song or something a little esoteric?
Do you remember any words at all?

TheTecknician · 31/12/2023 19:19

I'll throw in Bad Day by Carmel because I just don't know. We need more information!

Is it Moonshadow by Cat Stevens?
But if you're thinking of a female vocalist, it was covered by Mandy Moore in 'this is us'
