I am trying to recall a song from the last ten years very similar to Savage Garden’s “I knew you before I met you…” and released around the same time, roughly. I want to say it is by Collective Soul or Blessid Union of Soul, but a quasi-hefty search through their online lyrics proved fruitless. It could also have been the Tony Rich Project, Boys to Men, or Backstreet Boys - or some equal in this genre. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for trying…
