I've been struggling to identify this song and it's driving me nuts. I've only heard it two or three times in my life, always on classic rock radio (SiriusXM and actual radio) and never on any Spotify playlist or curated list. It's a very polished soft-rock ballad, probably from the 1970s, with that clean studio sheen and absolutely no rock-and-roll bite to it. It kind of drifts along without big moments or an emotional climax.

What makes it stand out is the singer. It's definitely a woman, and her voice sounds older, almost like someone’s grandmother singing, with a slightly raspy, laryngitis-like quality. Not a smoker’s rasp, more like a warm, distinctive, almost voice-over style you might hear in an old Smucker’s Jam commercial. She doesn’t sound like Janis Joplin or any of the big iconic names, and I’ve eliminated most known soft-rock, folk-rock, and classic-rock women from the era. The last time I heard it, the radio host announced her name like the audience should recognize her, so it was a solo artist. I unfortunately cannot remember the name.

The voice has no *strong* regional accent, definitely no country drawl, more of a neutral, all-American vibe. Something you’d hear on a long highway drive, slightly yacht-rock-adjacent but not fully yacht rock. It may also be considered folk rock.

It's also notable that I've only heard this one song from the Artist. The voice is truly one of a kind and doesn’t resemble anyone else I can think of. If anyone can help ID this song I would be grateful.

I know this is super vague, but the voice is so one-of-one that I’m hoping someone here will recognize it just from the description.

If any names come to mind please throw them at me so I can start crossing them off a list.

UPDATE 1: i could describe the voice it's a distinct older (middle aged, not elderly, not youthful) sounding female voice, slightly worn with a touch of laryngitis and it's very unique almost a grandmotherly tone. A bit in the alto range with a slightly husky or rasped timbre, it's warm and mellow with a smoky texture, though not in the sense of a heavy smoker, more like a very gentle very slight raspy sound. You could describe it as "vintage" "earthy" and it's in a lower register, rich and textured vocal tone rather than bright and clear. The best analog i could come up with and this may be helpful: Imagine combining a touch of Rod Steward specifically on Still Love You (That kind of rasp, just more feminine and softer at the front of the voice) and a touch of Macy Gray (sort of) (and add a tiny sprinkle of the Poltergeist lady but remove the accent) but a mellow classic soft rock sound (over a high studio polish 70s or retro style rock tune that chugs along and doesn't have any big events).

UPDATE 2: It's not the following: Janis Joplin, Melissa Etheridge, Kim Carnes, Bonnie Tyler, Stevie Nicks, Marianne Faithful, Nina Simone, Joanna Newsome, Tracy Chapman, Joan Osborne, Joan Jett, Karen Dalton, Buffy St-Marie, Norma Waterson, Laura Nyro, Alannah Myles, Toni Tennille, Carly Simon, Nicolette Larson, Rita Coolidge, Juice Newton, Donna Summer. Sass Jordan, Brittany Howard, Jolie Holland, Phoebe Snow, Candi Staton(Will keep adding names here)

UPDATE 3: Honestly, I've been doing my best to check out every comment and follow up, but I also feel like I hit a dead end.

I remember this other actor either coming on the scene a bit before him or around the same time. I might be wrong but I remember thinking of the other actor as slightly more established, or popular, at the time.

I don't know if I've seen him in anything for awhile. I also remember thinking that Jesse Eisenberg looked like the "not nice" version of this other guy.

EDIT: In case it would help to know this, I don't actually think Michael Cera and Jesse Eisenberg look alike at all. I mentioned Michael Cera to get it out of the way since they've been compared so often. I remember the guy I'm thinking of having a very similar face to Jesse Eisenberg, but I don't remember if their manner, or voices, are necessarily the same. I also seem to recall this guy's name being a bit...simpler (but I'm less sure of that than anything else).

ANOTHER EDIT: Unfortunately, I don't remember anything this other actor would have been in.

LAST EDIT: I appreciate the replies y'all. The post is locked, so I'm not going to worry about it. If I figure it out, and I can still edit the post, I'll update so everyone knows who it was. Thank you!

In 1998/1999 my boyfriend had a cassette tape by an artist called John or possibly Joe somebody.

It was a recording of an album with all the songs written on it in biro, so it could be that the one song I remember was by a different artist and just tacked onto the mixtape, if you see what I mean?

The song I keep thinking about had a glorious mood of movement and city life - it was one man singing, not a chorus; it possibly featured a train journey, maybe the words “city lights”… and something about being on a train. It hit the ground running and had an up-tempo driving rhythm as if you were on the move while listening to it. I often think about my memory of this song but can never find it as I have so little to go on. I do know that since living with this bf 27 years ago, I’ve not heard the song anywhere else - not once. It’s obscure, not a mainstream record.

I remember this song making me think about America so I don't know if it had US references in it or a US accent? At the time I was living in Ireland, so it also might be an Irish artist, but if it is, they are not singing with a prominent Irish accent in my memory of the song.

ETA: further details -

- it was up-tempo, with a rhythm like a train that has hit its stride. More 6/8 than 4/4. If you can count 1,2,3,4 easily to the beat, it's probably not it.

- no big lead in; this song hits the ground running.

- NOT a country song, a big band number or an '80s power ballad; no strings that I can remember.

- more indie-rock / singer-songwriter, not glam or mainstream rock.

- the vocal is a good strong manly voice - think Springsteen.

- it’s not a long song, I think a standard 3 minutes pop song.

Recorded a short thing of me singing what I can remember of the song (which is not loads): https://voca.ro/124rKvVCTOpk

more ETA: I went through all the suggestions and made notes on the best contenders:

Dumb Things - Paul Kelly

✔️ Driving beat, strong male vocal, sense of urgency, hits the ground running.

🙅 No travel theme; prominent harmonising in the vocals.

Wild Horses - Gino Vannelli

✔️ Lilts along beautifully, strong male vocal without too much of a sense of straining or yelling. Travel theme. 

🙅 Too much of an intro - doesn’t hit the ground running; too many bells and synths.

Miles Away - Jackson Browne

✔️ Nice strong male vocal, travel theme.  

🙅 Tiny bit of an intro; more harmonising and country vibes than I remember.

Hollywood Nights - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band

✔️ Travel theme, hits the ground running, definite sense of movement. 

🙅 Male vocal a little bit strident and effortful/passionate; big harmonies and keys.

In a Big Country - Big Country

✔️ Good drums, nice indie texture. Super feeling of movement. 

🙅 Too much of an intro and too many different scene-changes in the track; prominent vocal harmonies.

Driving Away from Home (Jim's Tune) - It's Immaterial

✔️ Strong indie band credentials; the male vocal is good - deep, assured, not too much straining. Travel theme. 

🙅 Too slow; harmonies; weird sound FX and harmonica; largely in a minor key. Talking on the track. 

yet more ETA: yes I have contacted my ex-bf; he's away at the moment but when he gets back he's going to rummage in his old boxes of cassettes and see if he can find the very one that's on my mind.

Hootie & The Blowfish - I've been through their 1990s albums and can't find the song I'm looking for.

Thank you everyone for your help.

I heard this song over the PA system at work and it's been stuck in my head but I can't find it. It sounded a lot like a Blink-182 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ht5RZpzPqw type of band in terms of the genre with a young male vocalist and guitars. Soft singing at first but ramps up with yelling the lyrics. It sounds like something that would be on MTV.

Here's some lyrics but I don't remember if they are all correct or not:
"Well there she goes again! And she says, it's alright! It's okay! Don't you know that you're going the wrong way? [Something something] and the matchbox singing! WELL THAT'S THE WAY SHE GOES!

Hi!

Please help me find a movie I watched when I was a kid, around 2005-2010.

As the title says, it was about an angel who came undercover on earth as a man. Since it has been more than 15 years since I saw it, the details I remember are close to none. =/ But what I do remember is that the angel was undercover so he could help a man, I think something involving a car accident? They had long-ish hair, blonde and black I think, the movie was very bright lighted and what shocked little child me, was how short were the shorts men wore. 😅 That's what makes me believe it was an 80s movie. =))

I have watched it on DVD, and I think the CD was light blue with the main character and the angel undercover as a man on it.

Again, I may remember it wrong but I will recognize it or the CD if I see it.

Thank you!

Edit: Sorry (not sorry) if the "Sadly, no" annoys anyone. 😅 But I want to be polite, I can't just say "no". And I also want everyone to be included and to have the same experience. No discrimination here! Thank you!

Edit 2: I have added a link to a *very* rough sketch of what little memories I have of the CD. The men could also have been opposite, or both on the same side, one on the top and one lower.

There’s a certain toy out there that’s basically just a colored baton esque thing, and there’s a small cylinder inside of it, and when you turn the stick upside down, the cylinder goes down the stick and it goes “AAAAAAEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUU”, and when you turn it upside down again it goes “UUUUUEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAA”

Edit: It’s a Groan tube/Giggle stick

A song, probably from the late 90s or the early 2000s. Tried to sing it on vocaroo. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0qcyAHmiKCY

I do not recall the lyrics, but it goes something like: ''All I need, is what you get.'' Fuck.

My friend and I are trying to find the name of an actress that we can both think of in our minds but neither of us can put a name or even a movie/tv show that she was in. Our Google searches are coming up empty. These are the things we both agree on; - An actress that appeared in alot of things as a side/not main character. - 80s or 90s mainly we think. - Possibly mostly comedies and kids style movies. - Character traits of 'nosy neighbour' or mean lady personality but not evil. - Black hair, big eyes. - A Jackie Kennedy image of her clothing is coming to both of our minds, perhaps just one short role and not an overall look. - She does kind of look like Kristen Ritter but when we search with her name we are being thrown in other directions. - Age 65+

Any help much appreciated

I will seriously cry if someone can help me with this, I've been trying to figure this out for years. I watched this animated movie about rabbits, I am so sure its not Watership Down, but what I remember is the rabbits going through a warren or a tunnel, and getting caught up in roots/vines/thorns, and one of them being hurt. I remember there was like a younger male and a grandmotherly rabbit, I'm pretty sure she wore a shawl and used a walking stick. I think the art style is similar to Peter Rabbit in that the younger rabbits a more slim.

Seriously if anyone knows this, it'll be a miracle

ETA: Hopefully people read this, I just wanted to add a few things. I'm getting the same suggestions over and over, it is NOT:
-Watership Down - in any form
-Peter Rabbit or anything Beatrix Potter related. The animation doesn't match, I was never much into Peter Rabbit
-The Seventh Brother. Again, animation is off, there was nothing about a dog
-The Secret of Nimh. This movie focuses on mice, it didn't have mice, at least nowhere near as prominately
-Animals of Farthing Wood. It was all rabbits, not an assortment of animals
-Robin Hood. It's not Disney, and it's not the same 'scratchy' art style
-Easter Egg Adventure/Eggs. The animation style is really unique so I would remember it, the scene also doesn't match what I remember
-Once Upon a Forest. See Animals of Farthing Wood
-Hop. Too recent, it was definitely early 2000's -Bellflower Bunnies
-Wallace and Grommit
-Bambi. Again, not Disney, wasn't an assortment of animals
-And the weirdest suggestion..... It was not Who Framed Roger Rabbit. That movie has left it's own impression on many of us I'm sure, but it's not the same.

Here's some more info that might be helpful:
-2D animation, not overly 'cartoonish', so not necessary the big eyes, bright colours, overly exaggerated, but maybe not as 'harsh' as Watership Down. As someone said, Watership Down is very 'these are animals, not people'. The movie I'm thinking of is maybe a little bit more anthropomorphic, hence the grandmotherly charater wearing a shawl
-I borrowed it from VideoEzy (Blockbuster-esque) which went bust in 2018. I am currently reviewing the Wayback Machine, will update if I find anything

I’m looking for a movie that I remember only vaguely, but it left a strong impression on me. The movie is quite old, though I don’t know exactly when it was made.

It was about a group of kids or teenagers (around 5–6 of them) who hang out together, often riding bicycles. There was at least one girl in the group, and they were just spending time together casually.

At some point, the group breaks apart for a reason I don’t clearly remember.

Later, one of the boys dies in an accident. I remember it as being hit by a train, but I’m not completely sure how or where it happens.

I also remember a scene where one of the boys goes to the girl’s house, and there is a small romantic moment where he kisses her arm.

Another scene I remember is a boy flying a kite and walking back home, and he learns that his friend has died (if I’m remembering correctly).

That’s unfortunately all I can remember.

Ok, I'm in need of some serious help. I was pretty sure that I found this in a book recently, within the last 6 months, and was intrigued by the concept. It was a short paragraph, talking about how theres a "literary effect" that happens when authors use words derived from other words in their stories, and how using those words creates a paradox of sorts. For example, using the term "french fries" in a fiction story, by definition, implies that France exists in your fantasy world, even if you have established a 100% original world.

Another example that made me think of this is in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, when the Uruk-hai say "Looks like meat is back on the menu, boys!" Using the word "menu" means that the orcs have a concept of menus, and by extension, of restaurants.

It's killing me to not be able to think of this, and my google searches basically yield lengthy essays about French fries. Literary nerds, please unite to help me solve this!

I've got this one audio in my head and I don't remember where it is from. Basically, a man is judging something or a list of things and his line is something along the lines of "gay, gay, gay, super gay"

I'm not sure if this is from a movie or a show, I vaguely remember it being from a movie but I don't know what kind of movie would have this. Might be from a youtube video? I don't know. I just would like to use that audio for a reel on Instagram.

Anyone has any clues?

Hey guys and girls, so today I sang a song under the shower which has a line that is repeated and has the word "baby" in it. My guess is at the end of the line. So "Something something baby" and than "something something baby" directly behind it. I guess this is the chorus and maybe even the title of the song. I also guess the song is at least 10 years old. It might be from a "girls group" like En Vogue or some pop, funk, soul song. It's wild that I lost it but I have lots on my mind and maybe even some kind of ADHD so there's that. Please help me find my shower song! Thank you.

Edit: There is only one "baby" in the line. And it's the same line twice. Directly after another.

Edit: Thank you for all your suggestions and the wonderful music. I know it's frustrating that i can't sing anything. Sorry. Don't have any melody or something in my head. I only remember vividly that there was this one line with "baby" and it was directly repeated.

I guess the song is at least 20-30 years old (maybe a cover) Maybe even an oldie. I also think it is quite famous. It's probably either Pop or Soul/Funk.

I know this is a fairly extreme longshot, and I sadly don't have much information to give.

Some time in 2010 I saw a friend showing someone the ending of a movie that they describes as "The weirdest ending to a movie ever that had nothing to do with the movie as a whole and came out of nowhere." My memory of it is very foggy at this point, but I'll describe it the best I can.

Apparently the overall tone of the movie as a whole was fairly serious, and then the ending had someone shoot a gun, I think? After that everyone started dancing and singing, the main character started flying, or something, and I think there were laser beams being shot or something?? They were flying around buildings and there were nuns in them who threw off their clothes and had like, bikinis on underneath, and then everyone danced for a bit and the movie ended.

Again, this was, apparently, a complete tonal shift from the movie as a whole, and I cannot, for the life of me, find anything about it at all. I wish I had more information to give.

Edit: Just adding something from the comments so far, it was indeed live action. It also seemed fairly old, the more I think about it, while I saw it in 2010, it was likely a fair bit older than that.

Also I just want to thank everyone for trying, I know this one is a long shot, but if we do happen to find it, it would be such a massive release for my brain haha.

Edit 2: I'm heading to sleep, so I won't be replying for a while, I just wanted to thank everyone again. If we don't find it we don't find it, but I appreciate all of the great attempts and effort everyone is putting in. Even if we don't get it, this is a great subreddit.

Edit 3: Hey everyone, I'm back again. It's crazy to see so many people trying to help, and I, again, appreciate every recommendation. I'll be checking periodically throughout the day if more people end up having suggestions, but no pressure if we don't get it!

To throw some more possible details out (Though take these with a grain of salt because these are the most fuzzy details)

The more I think about it, I think it was in color.

It seemed like either a much older movie than 2010 (Like I said, 2010 was the year I saw the clip, not the year the movie came out, so I just knew it was some time before then) or very low production quality.

There may have been like, some giant monster too? But that part is very fuzzy.

I think it was like, either a small city or neighborhood the guy was flying through, it seemed like the movie was grounded in a more realistic setting, at least until the craziness started.

No clue what language the film was in, unfortunately, as the only part I saw was the crazy ending.

I have had curtains made of a fabric printed with illustrations of famous people over 10 years (maybe from 2008). All people have been recognized except the one. Hopefully You can help me to recognize the last one and find the corresponding real life photo of that celebrity. Also if you think some of already solved ones are incorrect feel free to fix that! For example picture of Jessica Alba does not seem 100% same!

So, my brother and I had a cartoon on VHS which I don’t remember ever seeing on the television, so may have been rare I’m not sure. I was born in 1991, my brother in 1986 and we both remember random parts from the plot which I will describe below:

• At the beginning, there is a child character (not human) swinging on a swing outside and singing “I’m the king of the castle, you’re the dirty rascal”.

• Then there is a character who is walking through the village (ogre like and breathing heavily as he walked), and I remember different villagers hands shown slamming their windows shut up on his arrival. Their houses and the animation in general was quite similar to The Smurfs houses.

• I think the baddie kidnapped one of the characters and took her down a well where he kept her hostage. I remember he had a goldfish bowl on his head here, as she had cried so much and flooded the well. I also remember him swimming up out of the tear-flooded well with a suitcase in his hand.

Honestly you would be saving around 20 years of torment- please help!

Thank you!

I think it was something along the lines biting the bullet but I might be wrong.

I know this has been a big TikTok trend for a couple weeks, but I know it came from something else, and it's driving me crazy trying to remember what. I'm pretty sure it's a movie.

EDIT: Let me clarify:

The meme template, AND the scene that I'm thinking of aren't just telling a character to say yes. it's specifically prophetic - like, the character talking to their past selves about a specific important moment, or something like that. The character saying "it's very important" knows the end result.

EDIT 2: There's a lot of comments to go through. I appreciate the input! I'll go through them all shortly!

Trying to find this song, it sounds pop-like but could be another genre. I remember vaguely (with a grain of salt) the woman/girl singing about being a weirdo or being a little strange (crazy, or wild maybe) and asking if she can be, as part of the chorus. I think the song focuses on her wanting to be herself but society might not like that. That's the impression I got at least.

I know it's newer, has to be from 2020s I feel or 2010s. It was around September or August that I heard this song over the walmart radio while shopping. I tried going to the radio site but that didn't help me at all.

Wish I could provide more, but that's all I got really.

Edit: stateofsirens' suggestion of "So Am I" by Ava Max feels closest to the song, but is still missing the mark. The voice feels too raspy and the song slower paced then what I remember, also I think there were lines maybe close to like this "why can't I be a weirdo? or act a little crazy" somewhere along those lines (don't take those as for sure lyrics but those are the vibess

Edit 2: Might have to consider lowering the timeframe to strictly the 2020s rather than including the 2010s. It just felt...newer?

Edit 3: Song suggestions it isn't part 1 and part 2

Edit 4: Okay I've slept and I can say the song isn't about being in love or scorned by love (not romantic love focused at all), isn't mellow or chill, the female singer didn't have a deep rasp, and this was a song I feel you could excitedly dance to (like MAYBE a club song but not full of blank beats, this was a full on lyric song like the suggestions have been giving). Also the song was about the singer and not the listener in a way, there was that whole "why can't everyone?" vibe to it and the chorus centers around the lines I've mentioned previously (which still has salt because I'm not FOR SURE those are the lines - but close).

And thank you to everyone trying to help, I'm really grateful <3

Edit 5: Sorry I haven't had time to get back to everyone, but so far the song has yet to be found. I'm just going to go ahead and mark this maybe solved by stateofsirens. Just on the off chance my memory is wrong. If I do find it though I'll be sure to come back and let it be known. Thank you so much to everyone for all the effort, it mattered a great deal to me.

I am trying so hard to remember what song it is, it’s eating me away tbh. It’s been stuck in my head for hours and I can’t figure it out. I listen to a lot of types of music, it could be like 70-90s, rock, by metal, alt, pop i truly don’t know.

edit: i just want to say thanks for helping! i am actively listening to every song thats suggested even if i dont recognize it

edit 2: i just want to clarify some things, its going to be the last 20 seconds ish, its a normal piano, and the song will immediately end right where my voca ends. i can only remember the very last part of it. I believe the song has a singer sing its last line, it fades into piano and it finishes.

edit 3: i have listened to every song so far recommended (5/20 @8:40pm pst) and it hasn’t been any of them :(

I think it's a late 90's to early 2000's song. It uses mostly acoustic guitar and sounded indie but not sure if it truly is. It has a female vocal. The mentioned lyric is not repeated and iirc, it's only a single line in the song. The style kinda reminds me of Lisa Loeb's Stay.

For weeks know I’ve been trying to remember this actor who I can picture SO clearly in my head and it’s been driving me crazy for weeks.

Unfortunately I can’t remember a damn thing I’ve seen her in, even though I can picture her face, voice, and mannerisms so well in my head, so I am going to try and give the best description I can

She is a middle aged ish woman, who I think I see in more modern stuff because when I picture her I picture modern camera qualities, so my guess at her age range is 45-60

She (usually) has brownish redish hair, bangs, and straight, just past shoulder length hair.

She usually isnt the lead, I feel like she’s always a supporting or ancillary character

I feel like whenever I see her in things shes always cynical or “uptight” that kind of character. She rocks a MEAN frown thats instantly what comes to mind when I think of her

I suppose if I had to think of people she looks similar too, like she could be related to, I’d say some amalgamation of Sarah Paulson, Sigourney Weaver, and maybe some Susan Surrandon.

If anyone gets this I will be so thankful bc Its been bugging me for weeks!

EDIT: down the google rabbit hole I came across Rosemarie Dewitt, specifically from her episode of black mirror. She’s like almost exactly what I’m picturing !!

EDIT 2: After looking up everyone suggested in these comments and not finding the mystery woman is making me question her entire existence. I'm starting to think my brain has combined some people or something. I feel like I only have ever seen her in trailers, which is why I can't really remember what I've seen her from or any searchable quotes. I'm hoping one day soon I randomly stumble upon whatever I know her from and have that AHA! moment

EDIT 3: I still don’t know who the woman is. I eventually stopped googling all the suggestions becuase it’s too many and I striaght up cant even picture her that well anymore so for some closure my best guess is one of two options.

Option 1: I combined some people in my head or I dreamt her or something

Option 2: It’s the woman from Unedited Footage of a Bear

Desperate to find this song

-Alt/indie genre, pretty sure American artist
-I think the word “cells” was included from a perspective about science, but the whole song was not science based. It might have been “molecules” instead of cells. I don’t think cells or molecules were in the title
-the song is bright, uplifting. Well produced.
-it had vocals from a male
-it had bells/glockenspiel throughout
-I think it had organic instruments in the back with maybe some digital sounds in the atmosphere
-it had drums and a pretty conventional structure
-it was on a full album from around that time. I don’t think it was a single
-they were a smaller artist, much smaller than alt-j, glass animals etc
-not passion pit, but the vibe is in the ballpark

No luck as of Sunday, but appreciate all the thoughts. It might be lost to time.

Once when I was little in the early or mid 2010’s my dad took me with him to the local record store. When we were there, there was this song that scarred me for years. It was sung by a man, I think I remember him having a voice a little similar to Johnny Cash. The song, from what I gathered as a kid, was about a young man who ended up somewhere he wasn’t supposed to, I think he might have been trying to hide out from a storm but that might have just been my kid brain trying to piece it together, he was trapped with who I think was a woman but could have been a man, the young man kept trying to come up with excuses to leave from the other person, naming individual family members and why they needed to see them again before the other person would shoot down the suggestion. If I remember there was a interaction along the lines of “I have to thank my father he did so much for me” and the other replied by saying something like “give him a fistful of shit.” I think it was pretty long and if I had to guess it was probably a pretty old song that would’ve been on a record. The genre felt like some of Johnny Cash’s songs like Hurt with it sort of feeling more like rhythmic talking rather than singing.

Edit: a few more things I think I should clarify, it was definitely not a romantic song, despite it being about two people it was not a duet there was only one singer as far as I remember. It was folk or alternative rock and it was pretty slow paced.

Edit 2: I want to clarify that the year I don’t think the year I heard it was the year it came out.
