... anyone any decent website where you can enter song lyrics or a phrase to locate the song? Tried the first couple on google without success.

Was out last night and heard a dance version of a really old song I'd not heard in ages.. but I was wrecked and promptly forgot most of the lyrics. All I know is its from the era between 1995 and 2005 lol.. female artist and contains the lyric "live your life" or "live my life". And it isnt Belinda Carlisle.

I can only guess its featured somewhere recently, because no DJ would dust it off and play it again without good reason, but it was a cool song.

It's My Life by No Doubt?

Ah, good guess.. but no, iTunes'd it and its not. Totally forgot about the song though, now hunting for a remixed version for that too.

Live your life be free .Belinda Carlisle .
Edit ,didn't see the part that it wasn't by Belinda

What about Unwritten Natasha Beddingfield

Double post

No, its not Unwritten.. its a good suggestion and but the song it is lends itself more to being played in a club. Its about as rare as Samantha Mumba or Rachel Stevens... that kind of thing..

Is it by a soul singer? I think I know what song it is, but I've been hunting for it too. And it has 'gimme your llife/love' in the chorus with a 'bim, bim, bim, bim' beat?

its not `show me love` by robyn is it?

Try Alex Party. It could be that.

No, thanks but its not Show Me Love, which is too dancey or Alex Party, which is too cheesey.

The version of the song I heard wasn’t the radio play version I don’t think, but more likely a subtle remix version… it doesn’t sound a million miles away from Don’t you want me – felix but swear its Texas, Shania Twain or similar ..

Im so eager to try and find this, I’ve been through the playlist of every Now CD from 1993 to 2008 and its never appeared on one, or I’ve missed it…

Ultra Nate - Free

??

Could it be T.I. Featuring Rihanna... 'Live your life'?

Has lyrics that might match.

Unfortunately either of those... but cheers.

My guess is the DJ came across the song I've been thinking of while searching for versions of Far East Movements Live My Life, that was only out in April I think.. though that doesnt help finding out which song it is

Maybe
In Our Lifetime by Texas ?
One Day in Your Life by Anastacia ?

I'm gonna guess Yomanda - You're Free

Unfortunately not, but thanks.... I may give up... Been back through the Now CDs playlist again tonight.. have got to Now 52 and given up for the night. Finding some odd and obscure tunes though!.
