Mumsnet, help me out please!

For years I’ve had a song stuck in my head, I’ve no idea who it’s by, why I’ve know it or what the lyrics even are. I think it might have been on an album I owned in the early/mid ‘00s but that’s when I had disposable income and bought dozens of albums every month and went to gigs in small venues all the time, where I would buy albums for the support acts that I would listen to once or twice.

And now this same song is on an advert for Gold Blend! It shows a couple making their coffee with shots of how it’s harvested etc, then after the end shot of a jar of coffee has an extra bit that seems to have been tacked on advertising their refill bag.

Shazam can’t pick up the song because of the voice over and all I’m getting on google and YouTube is old adverts from the 80’s.

The song on the advert is a slow piano ballad but is sung by a woman, I’m almost certain the version I know was sung by a man.

We all know how good Mumsnet is at this sort of thing so do you thing please and solve this mystery that’s been driving my mad for years.

is this a current advert?

Graciously · 04/12/2025 19:40

Can you link to the advert?

icebearforpresident · 04/12/2025 19:45

Current advert, was on channel 5 about 20 minutes ago. Not sure it’s brand new or has been on tv before.

Cant link because of can’t find it. If I wanted an advert from the 80’s I’m be sorted but a current one seems to be impossible to fin 🤦‍♀️

Is it definitely gold blend? It’s so weird that the internet can’t find it (and I have tried!)

Chat GPT says “Stand by Me” originally by Ben E King but the advert version is Sunnie Williams.

A second contender is “Nothings Real But Love” by Rebecca Fergusson (the X Factor??)

Not Stand By Me, I keep getting that one as well.

Because of the voiceover it’s hard to make out the lyrics but it sounds like they are ‘keep holding, keep holding on’ or maybe keep going, keep going on.

If I’m right in thinking it was on an album I owned in my early 20’s it’s almost certainly originally by a sad indie ‘boy’ band. Think Keane or Coldplay, but not them.

Staring to wonder if it is Gold Blend now as I just caught it at the end but even just searching coffee advert, December 2025 is giving me Stand By Me.

Is it Birdy - people help the people?

RebeccaDecember · 04/12/2025 20:02

“keep holding, keep holding on” is Simply Red? Wrong era?

RebeccaDecember · 04/12/2025 20:03

Is it Birdy - people help the people?

Originally by Cherry Ghost - which is sad indie 00s boy music!

icebearforpresident · 04/12/2025 20:20

You bloody geniuses, it is Cherry Ghost!!

i’ve had 3 bars of the chorus randomly pop up in my head for about 20 years, you have no idea how happy it makes me to finally have an answer to who it is!

And Google tells me they supported Keane on tour, guessing that’s where I saw them
