There is a song I keep hearing bits of, but never in a context where I can find out the artist or title… I think the original recording was a female singer. It has been used in a commercial with a male re-recording, though. I think it is recent, probably the last five years. I _think_ the opening line is “I’m a brand new soul in a great big world…” dah-dah-DAH-dah dah-dah-DAH-dah dah-dah-dah. I’m woefully ignorant of pop music in the last ten years, so I’m hoping this is an easy one for everybody… the singer (both female and male) has a sort of soulful, sensitive sound to the voice. ? ---
