Help me ID this song? (I'll Cry for You)

This should be an easy one.

I heard this absolutely awesome song but I can’t seem to find a full version or who did it.

The chorus is “I’ll cry for you, I’ll cry for you.” It’s not by Europe or Candlestick. I even got a false hit for Bon Jovi. This is a soft ballad, sung by a woman. It’s sung with a lot of anguish and is really haunting.

In the key of A major the the notes of the chorus are |(rest) C# E F# | A F# C#(high) B | A

Any ideas? I must have this song!

#1 Crush by Garbage, perhaps?

Definitely not. That’s thrash metal compared to what I’m thinking of. It seemed to be very lightly scored.

Could it be Goldfrapp’s It’s Not Over Yet?

That’s closer but still not it. It’s even more lightly scored than that!

That sounds like a great song though!

If it’s any help, the first three bars, harmonically, are |A|F#m|D

I figured that this was a super popular hit, but it’s looking like it might be really obscure. A friend suggested a few artists, and Taylor Swift seems to be the best match, but it’s very likely that’s not who it is.

Katie Melua - I Cried For You

Chorus starts at :48

Can you link to any partial stuff you found at all?

Wow, what a powerful, heartbreaking song. Beautiful.

“Stronger” by Faith Hill?

Agreed. I may buy a copy even.

Katie Melua is way hot.

Oh man.

Thank you! Really beautiful song.
