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’ve never heard this song so listened to it to see if it reminded me of anything. It didn’t really but sparked a memory of another song which I couldn’t remember anything about except the words “She Says” and that the singer spoke rather than sang part of it and was dressed as a cowboy. 😂 Anyway turned out to be Ain’t no Doubt by Jimmy Nail and he’s not dressed as a cowboy at all - that was the video for Crocodile Shoes.

I found out what the song was by looking through a list of number ones for the 90s. Took me about 2 mins! Maybe you could do similar if you think it might have been number one!

Yellow River by Christie? Wrong decade but I suppose hearing a song in the 80's doesn't mean it was released then.

Oh god now I’m thinking it might not even be a woman singing, but I really think so. I think I’ve remembered that it ends with the guy having done something bad like killing his partner or being violent in some way and knowing he is going to jail
but now im doubting myself and driving myself mad and maybe all of you too! Thanks for all the suggestions and im glad such a good playlist has been created!! Happy new year!

Indiana Wants Me fits with this description

I Did What I Did For Maria?

Great song😀

Something by Christine McVey of Fleetwood Mac perhaps, has a very similar voice to the female vocalist on Moonlight Shadow...

Could it be Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac?

The thread is realy slow to open now for me because of all the You Tube links (seen this before on the Strictly threads) 😭

I hope the OP comes back to say it's been identified soon!

I’m so grateful for all your help, I only expected a couple of replies, if that!
i haven’t worked it out yet and am really starting to doubt myself, and I’ve given you such scant info. Memory is a strange thing, there’s every possibility that it’s nothing like moonlight shadow, but reminded me of it for some reason.
i promise I’ll come back and let you all know if I remember but I’m not holding out much hope with my seemingly rubbish memory!!
