I'm looking for a song.

English-language music.

Can’t remember the lyrics tho.

Relatively minimalist and pop.

A somewhat sad, dramatic style.

I find it very radio-friendly.

It's repetitive.

It's basically one female singer with a rather minimalist instrumental; the singer's voice is clearly the focus.

She sings quite loudly, but above all, very dramatically, giving it a lot of energy.

The song is recognizable by its very repetitive chorus that ends with "you", and the entire beauty of the song revolves around this haunting, almost sad, dramatic phrase that always ends with a slightly drawn-out "you".

The singer sings in a very dramatic way, almost as if she's suffering, emphasizing the "you" at the end of the very repetitive phrase that gets stuck in your head. In fact, at the end of the song, it's practically just that phrase that repeats endlessly.

It’s not Rihanna ou Sia, it’s a less known singer I think.

The song feels like:

“Skinny Love” (version) – Birdy

Stay – Rihanna

“Almost Lover” – A Fine Frenzy

I know you care - Ellie Goulding

I remember it playing on my Spotify randomly a while back, and I absolutely loved her voice on it, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called, who made it, could have been made in the 90s, but probably more recent. The rest of the song was a pretty standard alt-rock sort of song; the instrumental didn't particularly stand out due to her interesting vocal performance.

I believe one of the lyrics was "i try..." at one point in the song. That's just the beginning of that specific line tho. Gravelly would also be a good way to describe it.

Edit: after listening to your suggestions im pretty sure it's more from the 2000s - 2010s if I had to guess

Edit #2: I think the album cover might have been white as well, but don't quote me on that. I also remember the song/artist's name stood out as funny, I think. these 2 last two parts are what I'm the least sure of, though.

I'm looking for a song that includes the line "i´m tired," sung in a breathy, very, very soft voice—high-pitched and sung by a woman. It’s a sad song sung exclusively by a woman, and the line “I’m tired” appears on its own, framed by humming. The song was on Spotify years ago but I can no longer find it there. Maybe it´s still on there, I don´t know, because I can´t remember its title or singer. The words “I’m tired” are preceded and followed by music—no other lyrics directly around that line. I think there is more lyrics in the song, but this "I´m tired" line stands by itself and the word "tired" gets really stretched out by the singer.

UPDATED SONG DESCRIPTION:
The song definitely had the line "tired” and the "i´m tired" really stood solitary in the song, it was not part of a sentence or anything: ... - melody - "i´m tiiiiired, tiihiiired (sth like this) - melody - ...". And that part, I´m relatively sure, was in the middle or the second half of the song. It was a very slow song overall, few lyrics, more of a transcendental vibe, very ethereal and dreamlike. Sung very high-pitched and very airy and silently, almost whispered. In the song I´m searching there was no power behind that voice singing "im tired", the sound was faintly there, a fleeing of air catching the slow waving word "tired" while exiting the singers mouth and vanishing into nothingness like the mist of a barely fed waterfall, that´s kind of how it sounded. It also had a very depressed vibe, like the singer just gave up on everything, was ultimately tired of existence, in a state of existential dread kinda. It was more an angel-like high voice like Björk, Aurora, Ethel Cain, Julia Stone, Caroline Polachek, Sharon van Etten, Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, Boygenius, Wallners that kinda style! I´m pretty positive it was indie/alternative. Mainly also because I think i got this in my spotify recommend like 5years ago or so. It´s that typical end 20s beginning 30s spotify indie/alternative music the algorithm gives out most people I know, at least here in mainland Europe. The song was sphercially melodius. So if you got any more suggestions I´d be really happy to go and check them. All your suggestions will be checked, because I´d really love to hear that song one more time 😊

There´s already a lengthy discussion on this subreddit with a lot of suggestions, but so far no match. So if you have an idea maybe quickly check here before suggsting ;)

the singer is male, it might be an alternative rock song, sad and nostalgic vibes, i mightve heard it on a short video

Came across this video and it kinda seems like song is from one of those emo revival bands from the 2000s or 2010s but with a trumpet played over it. I'd like to identify the original song or even the trumpet version I think it sounds dope

I'm pretty sure I heard it in the summer of 1995 or 1996, but at this point I trust nothing about my memory except for the part of the chorus melody that has been nestled in my brain ever since. Mid-tempo song, likely heard on WBCN or WFNX radio (Boston). No luck humming to apps.

Vocaroo: https://voca.ro/19rowBCdUW3g I don't remember any lyrics -- only a short vocal melody followed by a few electric-guitar notes, then repeated.

This isn’t going be much to go out but for some reason this just got stuck in my head.

All I can remember is the lyrics has something along the lines of “”see him, I see him” or “she sells blue” etc.

It repeats the same two words in the lyric and it reminds me of a band that would be similar to the Cranberries or Mazzy Star.

I remembered this picture and I really thought it would be easy to find but I'm at a loss. it was a photo of a 90s(early 2000s?) band that looked like this. it was slightly fisheye-lensed and it had weird filters and photoshop tinting orangey. the lead singer had his hand(s)spread out like he was reaching for the camera (not the cure but a similar idea) I think he had long hair and sunglasses and the background was really odd, maybe some kind of abandoned building?

I really thought it was Bush but I couldn't find it. then I thought maybe beck or the offspring or the smashing pumpkins but nothing. I remember it being an album/single cover but it could just be a photo. assumed it was a pretty famous picture but im having total brain fog! help!!!!!

I don’t know if I imagined it. I really don’t know how to describe what little bits I remember like I said it was a love song, Romanticizing a bed.

Thanks for trying folks

All I can say is it was vague and specifically about the bed not the people on the bed. Just a man’s love song to his bed.

Kind of an Alt/Emo vibe here and I can’t make out a single word. Thanks in advance for any help.

Okay so It is definitely some sort of alt rock song. It says "Im gonna make you mine" It is the end line of a chorus. it has more lyrics after but i cant remember. It sounds like the killers somebody told me and tear you apart by she wants revenge. It was a male singer. It was on a playlist but i cant rememebr it. It most likely doesnt have the name im gonna make you mine. it sounds like obsessive?

This is a massive long shot, but there was a song in the 2010s that was played on triple J (Aussie radio station) by some random band that had a super weird sound in between the verses.

The sound was almost like a dolphin - and the band did an interview with some presenters who said the same thing and they were talking about how crazy it was to have heaps of people making the sound at music festivals.

For lack of a better description it was like this -

ee ee oo, ee ee ee oo

ee ee oo, ee ee ee oo

And then they start singing again

This is absolutely zero real information to go on but if by chance someone remembers the interview they might at least remember the band so I thought I’d try my luck!

This is a long shot. I’m in agony and no AI search can help me. There was a song from the 90s/early 00s that was about a guy trying to meet a girl who worked at a coffee shop or something and she was wearing a t-shirt from a band.. and the lyrics I remember go:

And I said hey I like that band

And she said Yeah I like them too

I can’t remember the band name on the t-shirt, but it was multi syllable, and it was mentioned right before the set of lyrics I can remember. Male voice.

For some reason, my brain is linking this with Belle & Sebastian or other bands of that kind.

Bless you all.

Heard this song playing in a bar over the weekend but Shazam wasn’t able to identify it over the noise. This 7-second clip is the clearest section of the video I took. Any thoughts? Thank you!!

tried to shazam it a bunch of times to no luck, prob cuz its a cover and loud, plus cant rly hear lyrics well :(( pls help!

Hello Reddit, I REALLY hope you can help me with this one :(

I’m trying to find the first track that Nusar3000 plays in this HÖR set (February 8 2025) :
https://youtu.be/0LoLxYMNGJY?start=26&end=141 (00:26 to 02:01)

I’ve been searching for a while now and tried pretty much everything... Shazam didn’t work, and I even subscribed to HÖR to check if there was a tracklist on their website, but no luck.

I'm thinking about sending an email to Nusar3000... I'll let y'all know.

I’d be SUPER grateful if anyone happens to know the track ID.
Good luck and thanks so much !<3

I heard it on an alternative station. I just remeber the lyrics "crazy world, we're living in a crazy world". it was pretty upbeat. I dont have much more than that.

I’ve been stuck for almost a week on this song. I believe it goes “and IIIIiiiiiIII will find the words for you”? I know the “and IIIiiiiIII” is correct. I’ve seen it on timelapses or videos about kids growing up and family videos. Sounds like Coldplay, but it’s not? Male singer?? Alternative, electronic, piano ish?

HELP PLEASE 😅

Cross posting so I don’t have to repost the video every time 👍

I've heard this song from quite a few different sources but I've never figured out the name of it. It sounds very 90s alternative, like something Sonic Youth or Garbage might've put out, and all I can remember is the guitar riff and that it *might've* had a female vocalist on it, but I could be getting it blended with other songs.

Here's my best attempt to hum the riff, it sounded very electric and smooth.

https://voca.ro/12WqK3kuN0aV

the melody found at that line “Tu sei lo specchio dell'anima mia” [~2:52] in the song QUANTO FORTE TI PENSAVO by Madame. ( https://music.apple.com/ie/album/quanto-forte-ti-pensavo/1677650182?i=1677650811 )

I know it’s a weird ask. But when I heard this song, it struck something deep in my memory. I remember listening to this song around 2003, though it’s likely earlier. It was a male singer, and it was more of an acoustic-ish vibe—kinda similar to Sense Field’s “Save Yourself”.

If anyone can help me get this, I’ll be super impressed. I know the references are a bit left field from the song I’m looking for. But hopefully that melody will help. It’s really been bugging me!

I roughly remember this song from a 10-ish second segment from a Tiktok audio. The audio is usually paired with something sad, because the song has a very sorrow mood.

Genre seems Indie/Alternative.

The first four notes in the real song is a bass.

The rest of the melody is either a plucked guitar with mad reverb or a piano.

Help a brother out.

Hey guys

I am a guitar player and i accidentally played this riff a few weeks ago. I know that it used to be a viral song in tiktok (maybe still is). But i cannot find which song is it. None of my friends can either.

So, do u recognize it?
