    What's your definition of Electro/Techno???
    Is it more on the pop side or proper 4/4 beats and 130bpm stuff?

    First thing I thought of was this

    Hi, looking for an odd song I don't think it's very well known. It's a "rest in peace" type song and it has a few different verses sung by different rappers. I don't think any of them are very famous but it was definitely doing the rounds on youtube a few years ago. They're singing about fallen soldiers, people being killed out on the streets etc and naming some of the people they know that have died. The rapping in the last verse is really weird, it sounds like a robot. It's actually not a good song but there is a girl singing at the start of it and in the middle, a really nice chorus about loosing somebody and saying RIP etc. I know it's not much to go on but it's really important that I find the name ASAP. Back to trawling through youtube videos! I thought the name of it was RIP or something like that but I'm not too sure. Thanks :)

    Anyone know the song from RTE's ad 'Weeknights on RTE'. It was a dance song and the only words were "I can't get no sleep"

    EDIT: I found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbyCZGszpxU

    Hi all, apologies if Im repeating a previous question but just spent hours online trying to find the name of a song Ive heard on the radio lately, dont have time to read all of this thread too:eek:

    Anyway...and apologies again for lack of detail, but its a song with a male and female voice, reminds me of a country and western duet, but remixed, and theres whistling in it, thats all Ive got! Been on the radio over the last few weeks.

    Anybody?!

    I'd say that's probably Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

    Complete long shot here. 2 of the last 3 weekends I have heard this song in seperate nightclubs, but don't think I've ever heard it before which leads me to believe it's relatively new. A housey/techno song, with a bpm in and around 128/130, no lyrics or vocals. Have searched the top 200 dance songs on iTunes and it isn't there, don't know how anyone would be able to identify this song but if anyone could it would be greatly appreciated!

    Way better description needed, house /techno song at 130bpm? Could be any of thousands of songs.

    I know the tune but would be impossible to put into text! As I said no lyrics or vocals, attempted to take a video of it when it came on but can barely make it out. Both times when it came on I asked a few people if they knew what it was and none of them did, it sounds like a kind of progressive house track maybe, reminds me of something like Avicii or Tim Berg might do or something. Don't really know how to describe it any more to be honest! As I said, complete long shot

    Edit: And wouldn't you know like that I found it, turns out it was an Avicii track. Superlove, although the first version I found does have vocals but not the one I heard either night. Thanks guys!

    Does anyone know the song that was at the end of the bbc olympics sportsday program on the 12/8.. it has a slow melody at the start with a man singing and strumming a guitar. The lyrics are something like;

    "
    I’ll be giving you day when you don’t want the night, I’llbe keeping awake when you can’t shut your eyes, I’ll be staying up late keepingright by your side, I’ll be giving you everything i got. When the sun's caught your eyes and you wantto go down, I’ll be following close making sure you take care and if you hitthe wrong notes then I won’t leave you there, I’ll be giving you everything I’vegot. "
    I've looked for this everywhere and I can't find it :( If anyone could help me out i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

    I heard a song on Q102 yesterday lunchtime but before I could start up my computer to Google the lyrics, I'd forgotten all but "I'm on my knees" or "You've got me on my knees" or something like that! It could be an 80s song, and it's sung by a man. I've definitely heard it before, it's not totally obscure. It's not Layla (Eric Clapton), Human (The Killers) or Cecilia (Simon & Garfunkel) (which all have the key word 'knees' in the lyrics).
    It's wrecking my head!

    Thanks!

    Try this one, there is a line about 'falling down to my knees'

    Nah, not that one. It's more of an American-sounding soft rock ballad-type song, not really electronica at all.
    Thanks for the suggestion though.
