Please help me find the name of this song :)

(Shamelessly posting for traffic Blush).

I know you’re all absolute ninjas when it comes to finding out names of songs and books with next to no information.

I’ve just heard a French song (it was sort of like dance-y, dreamy, house, ambient music - that’s the best way I can describe it) with lyrics that were quite hard to make out. It was either sung by a group or a solo singer - it sounded like a man’s voice.

The lyrics that I could make it were these: ‘le temps passe’, ‘je n’ai jamais cru’ and ‘jamais revenu’.

Could anyone help please? :)

The second one sounds most like what you've described.
InspMorse · 08/02/2018 19:12

Can you google the words and 'lyrics' - I've found a few songs this way.
Also, if it was on a radio station, go on their site and search for the programme's playlist.

For example...

Have you tired googling the words and then cross referencing them in YouTube?

Thanks so much everyone. I’ve tried Googling the words then adding ‘lyrics’ and ‘paroles’, but I haven’t found the song yet unfortunately. I think it’s too recent to be Charles Aznavour. It’s more sort of trance-y and electronic-y.

Where did you hear it, in a shop, on radio, TV?

Lascelles I heard it on someone’s personal Spotify account at work. It was playing on a speaker, but I didn’t know whose music it was.

Jian is the most recent French artist I can recall - helpful?

LascellesMoustache · 08/02/2018 23:38

How big is your workplace? I think you need to find the owner of the playlist

ichifanny · 08/02/2018 23:49

Is it seven seconds by yosseau Nadine and nenah cherry

JustKeepStumbling · 09/02/2018 00:38

Air?

Wingedharpy · 09/02/2018 01:16

Could it be Le temps passe, sung by Johnny Hallyday with Storm Bugsy, Doc Gyneco and Passi?

Taytotots · 09/02/2018 01:40

I thought it might be air but can't find one of theirs with those lyrics. Could it be this -m.youtube.com/watch?v=XKj__gEXgqw. (elephanz - je n'ais jamais)

QueenShitSandwich · 09/02/2018 01:46

Could it be PASCAL OBISPO – L'ÉCHAPPÉE BELLE ?

EllJ · 09/02/2018 02:07

Christine and the queens have some English/ French hybrid songs and are quite dreamy and Trancy. Worth taking a look at

BendyBusBuggy · 09/02/2018 02:31

Ca plane pour moi by plastic Bertrand?

Mupflup · 09/02/2018 06:49

My guess would be Air, Christine and the Queens, or possibly Nouvelle Vague. I'm not even sure NV are French but they do a lot of covers sometimes in different languages

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

It’s not Plastic Bertrand, Elephanz or Jonny Hallyday.
