Thank you Bo. Yeah that certainly sounds like it. Funny thing is I could swear there is a different song with that same music that I was thinking of. I’ve tried googling that song in your link looking for covers but so far nothing. I’m remembering a raspy voice. Anyway thanks again. If this rings a bell to anyone else I’d appreciate the help. ---

Think maybe you’re thinking of 6th Avenue Heartache by the Wallflowers? [https://youtu.be/kXDiGtgPL6E](https://youtu.be/kXDiGtgPL6E) ---

I agree it sounds like a song I’ve known forever and I’ve never heard the Daniel Robinson Version. However, every time I shazaam at a different spot in the song it gives me something different and looking them up on youtube, they have a different song over the same music…like the exact same music. ---

I agree it sounds like “6th Avenue Heartache”. I think it also sounds like “Dissident” by Pearl Jam [Pearl Jam- Dissident (with Lyrics) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbWZ8In9Ois) ---

I agree that Snowboarder Bo’s link is the correct one in the video I linked to but it is the Wallflowers song I was thinking of. ---

The music also has some similarities with [The Ballad Of Curtis Loew](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35Ipe_0kadM) by Lynyrd Skynyrd. ---

> [@whitetho](#): > > The music also has some similarities with [The Ballad Of Curtis Loew](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35Ipe_0kadM) by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I still can’t figure out where I know it from, but I’d say it’s closer to Tuesday’s Gone. ---

I’m almost certain this isn’t where I heard it first, but at least it’s relevant… [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/RnoQMTYr-K4/maxresdefault.jpg "Coronavirus: Covid-19") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnoQMTYr-K4) ---

I made it back to a song called Lonesome Ave by The 126ers. Same song as all the others (no vocals), no idea if it’s the original or not, but someone mentioned that it’s a rip off of 6th Ave Heartache. ---

it might be a generic drop. I don’t think I hear a vocal melody.
