- - - We have a music service at work that plays contemporary/pop background music, but of course doesn’t announce anything, and I have not yet been able to find out from the company who to call at the music service to ask about this. And it’s 1 AM and I’m bored, so here goes: lately they are playing two different songs by what -sounds- to be the same person/group. 1. A couple lines of one song that I can remember is something like “I look to the sky – I something something[line unclear] – but they sky has other things in mind”, but this is _not_ the main part of the chorus. I have searched several lyrics sites for these lines and haven’t come up with anything. At one point the service was affiliated with [MP3.com](http://MP3.com), because there’s be little voiceover annuncements in-between songs saying so, but I listened to a lot of songs tonight and didn’t find anything close there. I am pretty certain of the accuracy of the words I have related above, however. 2. The single vocalist is female and pretty high-pitched, sounds a lot like the Sundays lead singer when she’s hitting the upper-half of the notes in the song “Here’s where the story ends”. This description actually narrows it down quite a lot–it would have to be female and fairly young. Older people simply can’t sustain such high notes, even if they could when they were young. 3. The music is straightforward modern pop/rock–not any bit overly country, electronic, etc. No particular instrument is standing out, the vocals are pretty much the focus of the song. * * * I do realize that a recorded sample would help much more, but as of yet I have not been able to record one. Anybody got any ideas? List any singers/acts that might qualify, that aren’t already listed. ~ ---

How about contemporary rock? Maybe… the all female group, “Don’t Harass Betty” IIRC one lyric goes, This guy had other things in mind… or maybe it was “I looked at the sky…I had other things in my mind” I’m pretty sure one of those lines is correct. The name of the song? Hmmm, a bit tougher, maybe… “I Feel”? maybe not 😕 it’s too late g~nite ---

- - - T Donelly/Belly is similar, but not it. Don’t Harass Betty is way too low-pitched (in the couple songs I could find fast) and not close. Tnx however… ~
