The "What's That Song" Thread [ PLEASE READ ]

Hello,

I was at Little Green Cars at the Grand Social last night and there was music on the background before they came on stage. *setting the scene in case anyone with a good memory reading this was also there*
I quite liked one song that was playing but unfortunately it was not loud enough for Shazam to pick up.

I couldn't pick up any lyrics but I do remember the following:
*both a male and a female vocalist
*lyrics in both English and French
*vocals that are kind of half-singing half-talking style
*a simple and repetitive, but prominent, bassline

And no, it's not Je T'aime, moi non Plus! :pac: Nor is it anything by Arcade Fire.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Charlotte Gainsbourg released a new album last month, could it be one of these?

Looking for the name of the musical piece that was in the first episode of the young offenders from tonight. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6e41jv starts at 17:18

Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev.

tunguska

Ok so this is a tricky one, be grateful if anyone could possibly know what piece of music this is.........so Anytime I go to the Omniplex in rathmines, before the trailers theres a piece of music playing. Its instrumental and is Brian Eno-esque. I find myself humming this after the movie. I mailed omniplex about it, but got no reply. So in the remote chance that someone out there know what this is, please put me out of my misery.
Cheers

detoxkid

Can anyone please help before I go out of my mind. I'm looking for the name of a tune that was used in a Guinness as (I think) but Google has been no help. I don't have much to go on it is a choir with a female lead vocal - I think in French, anyone?!

Rikand

Anyone able to help me. I keep catching a song on the radio but only the last minute of it and the DJ never says what song it was at the finish.

I only have two partially heard lyrics from I presume the ending chorus

Male vocalist. He kinda hums/chants a few bars and then says the line "waiting for the sky to fall" and then he hums again and says another line "waiting for the night/guy to come/call home"

Song is at least a couple of years old as I've been missing it for quite a while.

Those lyrics above are likely not correct as I've done quite a bit of reverse googling. Also, they are chanted just as the song itself is fading out so there's minimal music around the lyrics to be able to give ye more clues.

Possible red herring :: singer sounds scouse/Mancunian based on my misheard lyrics

Good luck

French_Girl

This is probably completly wrong but going by those lyrics, is it "Waiting for a star to fall"?

An older song, pretty catchy, male vocals. Fits the bill.

If you mean from boy meets girl then no, definitely not.

But thanks

Can anyone help identify the music used in RTE's 'Deep Atlantic'?

https://www.rte.ie/player/ie/show/irelands-deep-atlantic-30005220/10868665/

From 51:02 onwards.

There is mention of Johann Johannsson in the credits, but it doesn't seem to be from either 'Arrivals' or 'Theory of Everything' soundtracks.

Tried shazam a few times and soundhound but no luck, although one time shazam returned this:

but I don't think it's correct.

Apogee

Yes, tried both Shazam and Soundhound but no luck either.
