Sounds like someone butchering "City of Chicago" - Christy Moore

Thanks I think you're right and that is the song! I would love to know for sure and to know who is singing it there!

OK, not much to go on here - name of an uptempo song, Western in style although the lyrics were in what sounded like an African dialect and the singing style was vaguely North African. Despite having no English lyrics it got a surprising amount of airplay on FM104 etc around the late '90s I think. That's literally all I have, except at one stage the Strawberry Alarm Clock found a translation which IIRC went something like "I see you with the wind in your eyes" which had them speculating whether it was about a dog.

Song on TXFM today around 7pm. Sounded like Cage the Elephant, indie rock genre, lyrics were "Drown out the flames" and "Tell me that you'll save me" was repeated throughout. Any ideas?

Hi all,

Looking for a particular song..

Music video: Consists of a view of a woman driving a car, video is in black and white.

Lyrics: "But, we had fun"

I searched all over the internet and I can't find it. It also has a kinda 90s/2000ish feel to it...

Had fun by Harem Scarem?? Could find a video tho.

I know the song your on about, but unfortunately it's not the song I'm looking for. Thanks anyway.. At least your trying to help!

Looking for help identifying a song, all I remember is that it came out in the late 90s maybe 97/98, very poppy, the video had a bunch of native Indians all dressed up in their native attire dancing outside in a big open green area surrounded by mountains as far as i remember, very upbeat and cheesy Brit poppy kind of thing, help greatly appreciated.

'Send Me On My Way' by Rusted Root?

Co-workers listen to Spin SW at work and this gets played regularly. Upbeat tune, obviously released fairly recently.

Lyrics from the chorus:
If you could, if you could, if you could I know you would.
It was you bringing me back to the light, it was you blowing the smoke from my eyes.

Please can anyone help with the song title or the singer. I think the following lyrics are at the beginning of the song. Thanks.

“The thought of you makes me feel so good inside knowing that our love is gonna last....
When I think of you a feeling comes to me that nothing will go wrong ... that's never gonna leave... and forever to you I belong. I've had my share of broken hearts and a wealth of broken dreams these are memories of my past.”

Does anybody know the name of the track RTE have been using on their ad for their coverage of this weekend's two Euro 2016 quarter-finals between Germany and Italy and France and Iceland?

Sort of a modern traditional Irish track with uileann pipes featuring heavily.

I found the answer by:

1 making a sound file on Sound Cloud
2 posting their link in the Facebook group 'Anyone Know' where Denise rolls knew the song
3 then listening to it song on Spotify!

The Answer: Share of Broken Dreams by Ruby Winter.

Although I didn't get the answer here it was my first port of call after the lyrics sites as this is also a great site for info

This is a long shot, but I heard a song on the radio but didn't catch the name of the song or band. I know this much, it's a 90's or 00's R&B group (it was that sort of a show) with all female singers. It was a very slow song and the lyrics had below ( I think, memories not great on this bit)

"If you want to you just say it" or
"If you want to just ask"

Sorry, very little to go on, it's been wrecking my head 😒

meljackson

Thank you for your reply but a genius called Denise Rolls from the 'Anyone Know' in a Facebook group knew it: -

Share of Broken Dreams by Ruby Winters

I can listen to the entire song now *sob*
A combo of publishing it on Sound Cloud, then the 'Anyone Know' Facebook group, and finding it on Spotify did the neat trick. /3xFfLpCrIsLYpUXLoXmG8S

Was it the honeyz, end of the line?

Thanks for the suggestion, the words are there and it fits the criteria, that's not the song though this song sounded a bit more similar to "Red light special" etc...

Is it this by any chance? Although this song is about a woman growing up in Kilfineora in Clare, not Dublin, it does have the line of being asked to dance.

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately that's not the one, I came across that song while looking for the other one.

Maybe its not properly out yet, might just need to give it some time.
