    After guitar solo:

    If I only could be, if I only could be the picture you're painting,
    If I only could be, just one colour in it, just because,
    Wish I could fill your wants and desires, oh,
    I understand I guess I'm just part of the countryside,
    If you only stopped building up, up, your dreams, your dreams.

    It's not a lot, but the first part is very fuzzy. My first thought was Sade.
    Ρεμπέτικο για πάντα. Μάγκες είμαστε.

    I understand I guess I'm just part of the countryside,
    From this bit I get

    But I'm looking back at myself, and I'm just part of the countryside.

    And at about 1 minute, it goes

    ...could fill the space beside you

    a little bit later

    everything is strange to me

    Definitely have interest in finding this song as well. I would say that this wasn't by such a well known singer, unless it was much earlier in their career. This also sounds like it was recorded on stage or something. That could probably explain the sound quality. It does sound like Sade though.

    Bump

    Also I added it to youtube to see if anyone that comes across it can identify it.

    Well, thanks a bunch to Mixalopoulos, and to pianoman there were some lyrics. I listened to it again and actually managed to come up with some thoughts about lyrics. I will put in bold what I added. Below is possibly what the song can look like. Also if I had to guess I would say that this is an early Sade with one of her earlier groups (Arriva or Pride).


    (starts with xylophone/bell keyboard)
    @0:32 (very fuzzy and tough to make out)
    sounds like she starts
    VERSE: If I only, If only the voice.......
    If I only could be the void(?), to
    fill the space beside you
    But I try.................everything is strange to me..............
    If I only could be If I only could be the voice........


    REFRAIN: Wish I could fill your wants and desires
    But I'm looking back at myself, and I'm just part of the countryside.
    If you only stopped building up, up, your dreams, your dreams.
    (electric guitar solo)

    @ 2:36 VERSE: If I only could be, if I only could be the picture you're painting,
    If I only could be, just one colour in it, just because,


    REFRAIN: Wish I could fill your wants and desires, oh,
    But I'm looking back at myself, and I'm just part of the countryside.
    If you only stopped building up, up, your dreams, your dreams.
    (longer version of the opening melody)

    I was just informed by the topic creator, frame, that the song has been identified. Much thanks to everyone and glad this mystery has been solved.
