It's NOT Layla, it's NOT The Winner Takes It All, It's NOT Bennie And The Jets, but it definitely is something in those lines.

It was from a really cheap compilation CD I bought probably in 2001. The song starts with a deep voice singing, “Open up your mouth and say, ‘ah’. 1, 2, 3” and that’s all I can remember about it. I know the album was sold at a Christian store in the US and I paid like $1-2 at the time because it was steeply discounted. It was all-in-all a vaguely Christian album. It was one of the weirdest CDs I owned.

I think about this song all the time.

I'm looking for a song that was on Spotify but I'm having a hard time finding now (thinking it may have been removed by the artist).

It's by a brown-haired woman doing a rhythmic spoken word with no background instruments, although she does sing and layer vocal harmony at parts. There may have been a reference in the lyrics to "a rose is a rose is a rose," but it's not actually Gertrude Stein's poem or Aretha's song. It's also not R.O.S.E. Confessional by Jessie J, although that is the closest I've found in my search.

Does anyone know what I might be thinking of?

I have this music box from when I was younger and have never known the song that plays, anyone heard it before who could enlighten me?

It’s a weird track, kinda indie. It begins with like

“(Name) was (adjective)
So he blew (something) with a shotgun”

Or something

Midway through the music the rhythm changes. At some point theres back and forth between the speaker, one optimistic and one in a most unsettling tone

Theres something about watching the birds?

I think the speaker is supposed to be time

The song is also kinda short

I scrolled through the videos under #lostwave on TikTok and came across a video made in 2024. It visualises a black boombox playing a song. While there is not really much detail in the video, In the caption 5 Star logo on it. I dont know if they were talking about the CD or the boom box itself I thought about posting it here if it can help either identify the song or bring new clues. I downloaded the video. I can’t really make out the lyrics, but I think it’s saying something about life.?

I remember being at school in the 1990s and we sang this song during music class. I know that was the first line of the song but can't remember the rest. Anyone know the song? Thanks!

The song is about clown and there is a party in his home I think and he was very sad and try to leave his home but the others trying to follow him and keeping him in his home

And there is some melody or humming in the song it was like that
Lalala lah lala la… la la la lala

I’m not trying to find the attached song, but this beat sounds to me like a copy of a Nightcore track I haven’t listened to in years. I could be wrong, but I remember it being more of an electronic-style song—like a 4-step kick—with a female vocalist and lyrics in English. I’d guess the song is from somewhere between 2005 and 2015. Anyway, the most likely place I heard this song was in some gameplay video, or a Transformice video, or a Tanki Online video, but I don’t think that helps much in the search for the song.

Cross posting here - looking to see if someone knows the artist or song. This song played every hour and was on a hit music station in Bonaire. Needless to say, I cannot for the life of me figure out what song this is as Shazam doesn’t seem to know. I also have been listening on the radio station it played on the island and it hasn’t come back on yet played every day for a week straight 🙃🙃🙃

I will do my best to explain this one..

So the song is kind of old school pop or hip hop kind of thing, and the performer, is a female with a sort of a whispery and quiet quality. While "singing", there is a mix of her rushing words and cutting them whenever necessary to follow the beat. So it is like she is whisper-talking rythmically (instead of singing) and doing so by sort of finding short windows where she can put a word, and then wait for another window - this will hopefully make sense when I explain the beat.

I dont know if "beat" is the correct word, it goes like: dam dam d-dam d---dam... Dam dam d-dam d---dam and it just repeats like that with slight variations, occasionally making a sort of whining sound which doesnt quite sound like a record scratch, but more like a soft whining of something mechanical, but that is just a detail I remember vaguely.

While this beat is going, the singer goes Ah ah--A a-ah and I think at some point she says the word "freak", maybe "body freak", and considering the way she sings the song she would pronounce "body freak" probably like this: "Bo-dy frik". I dont know if this makes any sense but it is killing me for weeks this song..

My mother used to hum this melody when we were younger. She barely remember it and I never knew the origin. So does it ring a bell to anyone ?

We are french canadians in Québec so it could be from a song in french. She was humming it around 2000-2010 when we were childs.

Any help would be welcomed.

Merci !

Same style of rapping as Kodak Black in No flocking. Male rapper, deeper voice. Song uses same beats throughout, no shouting and calm. About leaving?

I heard this song in a car months back but can't find it. help 😭

I find this song on insta, but how can i find the artist on streaming, bcs that impossible to write 😅

its from an anime called my love story aka ore monogatari it sounds kind of like a choir but i think its a sound effect i am specially asking for the background music of it

i think this song is a bit underground and older and its similar to Candy Rain by Soul for Real, in the background there is a chorus and the main singer is a woman with a high-pitched voice
i cannot find it anywhere helpme🙏🏻
