Thought I'd set up a thread for when you can't work out what a song is called. I've noticed that people can be helpful on here when it comes to music.

Plus it saves multiple threads with very few posts.

Hope the mods pin this as it really is one of the most frequent questions on the board.

I've got a little challenge to start off with I'm trying to find out what song is being played for the trailer to "I Shouldn't Be Alive" that's currently running for the Discovery Channel show. Unfortunately I can't find a clip because there's an American trailer for the same show which keeps coming up in my searches and that ones a female artist. The one I'm after has a guy singing it and I can't make out any of the words at all due to the voiceover to do a decent lyrics search.

Is this the trailer you're talking about?

I checked some of the comments underneath, apparently the song is called 'Run to You' by someone called Amanda.

The lyrics I managed to work out:

"Only time can turn against us"
and
"Cause without you I am helpless"


I've tried to search for a male vocal and can't find one..

Apparently she only recorded 30 seconds for the trailer, but lots of people want to know what the song is called and where it is available..apparently she's recording & releasing it. ???

Apologies for it being a bit vague, but I hope the above helps in some way.

I'm sure this was tried before but got ignored. Thing is, I think most people who want to ask about songs don't come to this forum regularly so I doubt they even look for these threads before starting their own.

But I agree that the mods should sticky this thread then anyone who comes here wanting to ask about a song can easily see it

I posted a thread a while ago wondering what the song in the adverts for this years VMA. The advert was only shown in the UK and Ireland before someone posts saying Rockstaar 101 by Rihanna. That was the Americal version. I'm looking for the European version. It really seems to be a mysterious song as no one knows it.

Anyone?

Hi mimicole, thanks for trying to help

It's not the Amanda Run To You one although that is the one used for the American trailer.

The only lyrics I can make out from the one running here in the UK is something like "I had to pull (or turn?) away".

It starts off with what sounds like a catchy bass guitar riff but apart from that, don't think I have any more clues

It's running on all the Discovery/History/Crime channels just now so hopefully, it'll catch somebody else's attention.

The problem is that when a thread is pinned, people ignore it anyway and still post!

Anybody know what the song is called in the new Vodafone advert?

I've looked for the advert on youtube, it isn't there.

I think it's 'I'm All Over It' by Jamie Cullum. I can't get on YouTube at the moment to check though!

Thanks. I recognise those lyrics so it's probably that.

There is a new page on iTunes that lists songs played in some recent tv adverts. Should be useful

Bump Heard a song this afternoon that went something like "we're talking about money, money, money... we're talking about money..." anyone know what it is? I liked it and wondered who sung it and what it was called.

I need help with a song! I heard 5 seconds of it this morning and I really need to know what it is! I know its a very popular dance song from the late 90's or the early 00's (I think between 1997 to 2001) and the only lyrics I heard were "down, down, down, down, down, down, down..." etc.

Thanks very much.

Good idea- I posted a new thread earlier, glad someone thought of this!

I've been hearing this song everywhere- on TV, in clubs/bars and it's driving me mad because I can never find it anywhere- it's a dance/instrumental song- the main riff sounds like this:

It has quite a similar feel to the Lovefreeks "Shine"- hopefully someone can name it for me!

Hi! I need some more help! I've recently heard this song on the radio a few times and they never tell me what it is after they play it, and I really want to know what it is!

I think it's a new song, and I think it's performed by an American male artist. It's a laid back summer song, sounds a bit Jason Mraz-y. I don't know the exact lyrics but I can paraphrase; the guy sings that he wants to do nothing all day and just stay in bed and not think about/do anything but maybe go out with a girl.

That's all I remember, sorry for being vague but really want to know what it is!

Based on that it isn't The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars, is it? Apparently that's the next single.

Heard a song on Smash Hits radio today around 12ish. I've looked on the web but can't find a playlist. It's a female singer and theres a rapper in it. she mentions something about Twilight. That's all I can remember though.
