Am I hearing things or have I dreamed about a cover version or a track currently getting airplay that samples this song? (the bit sticking in my mind is the line that goes "Look at all the lonely people")

I'm sure I've heard it on the radio and I've 60% convinced that its either r'n'b or hip/hop stylee? Anyone else heard it or have more information?

Yes, I saw the video on Channel U and (I think) MTV Base. I'm not sure who the artist or title was, but you definitely weren't imagining it.

Just found out who it is...

The track is by Talib Kweli and is called "Lonely People". It's produced by man of the moment Kanye West. The track is taken from Kweli's forthcoming new album - "Beautiful Struggle". There is a sound clip of the Lonely People track (and the rest of the album) here:
