Ok this has been driving me crazy for a while now.
At my cousin’s wedding in March, they played this great song that I loved. Reminded me of Peter Gabriel. Then at my girlfriend’s baby’s baptism party on Sunday, I heard it again. I meant to ask who it was, but forgot. She had 50 CD’s in on shuffle, so she’s at a loss.
I’m pretty sure it’s a new song, but I don’t listen to much radio; just in the car and I’ve never heard it on the local “alternative” station. It sounded a lot like Peter Gabriel, had an In Your Eyes kinda feel to it. It’s slow, but not really a ballad. My girlfriend thought it might be David Gray, or the new Train song, but neither of those are right. It had a slight… “islandy” feel to it, slow but upbeat. The chorus, I think was something like “…makes me feel like you do…” and it was like “la la LA LA… la la LAA LAA la”. Not that that helps.
We ruled out the David Gray song, though it does sound like some of his stuff, Babylon in particular. I wish I got more of the lyrics, because do you know how many hits “makes me feel like you” +lyrics brings up on Google? TOO MANY.
From the Google search I can say with confidence it is not:
Monica
Genesis
Cover Girls
Jamiroquai
Immature
Ama Shola
Bosson
G-Sistah
Diana Ross
Nevergreen
Warrant
Bah! There’s one that looks MAYBE like it COULD be… Dream Street - You’re Taking Me Over or Ohne Namen - Nobody. But I haven’t been able to listen to either of them yet.
It’s driving me crazy. I’m humming it nonstop and I’d love to grab it. It’s not *I Grieve * by Peter Gabriel, she thought that might be it cuz she had the City of Angels soundtrack on shuffle. But that’s a sad song, not something you’d play at a wedding! I think my cousin and his wife danced alone to it.
Anyway. If anyone has any ideas, lemme know. I keep looking up suggestions and seeing if the lyrics fit the tune in my head. And yeah, I emailed my cousin to see if he recalled it, but haven’t gotten anything yet!
