It's a little slow and sad sounding and has a Tears for Fears kind of vibe. The "whoa's" take up a lot of the entire song - like whoa OH (upper note) oh oh (all drawn out, 2 beats each) and it sounds echoed or layered. Before that were six syllables that go up and come down. I know it's *very* little to go by, but it was so nice I had to ask. It sounded like a very simple 2/4 or 4/4 song.
It's not Tarzan Boy and it's not Things Can Only Get Better... hmm.
Its Fixx . Red skies

I am absolutely positive it has to be this song:
Howard Jones- Things Can Only Get Better
Your welcome

Reason: Well I didn't read your post that it wasnt things can only get better, it was the song I was searching for over an hour

I am 100% youre searching for this song that plays after the guy finish shooting the toy gun
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZmX....be&t=2h37m52s
It is so similar to Tarzan Boy but the beat kind of relax a bit.
If im not mistaken this song has alarm clocks as beat too.
Sorry I still don't know the name of the song.
Maybe someone will notice this.
EDIT: Found it. The name of the song is Swiss Boy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLq4Pg2KKrw

Self Control by Laura Branigan. That part of the song is also sampled in RuPaul's We Can Fly Tonight (which also has a reference to A-ha's Take on Me).

Based on your description. Take a listen to the song "Daimond Sun" By Glass Tiger. The song is really nice although being Canadian it didn't get much airplay world wide. If not that, than try Rock & Hyde - "Dirty Water". Both meet your description. Let me know if either matches. - elderkinmusic@live.ca.

After all these years and no one has gotten it right, seriously? Its obviously Faithfully by Journey, released in 1983.

I was having a hard time finding something similar... thanks to the person who posted about the canadian band: Glass Tiger. Turns out I was looking for: The Payolas - Dirty Water
So thats my guess of what you maybe looking for: The Payolas - Dirty Water
