I'm looking since years for a song. Guess it's from the 80's or 90's. I heard it 2 times on the radio, don't know the lyrics or a name. I only got a bit of the melody, I tried to play it on the e-piano

I think it could be a new wave or synth pop song.
Does anyone reconize the melody???
Thanks!

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence ?

Could also be, but to me it has got more resemblance to...

Alphaville - Sounds Like A Melody

Thanks for the answers unfortunately it's none of the song. I went pretty much thru every famous new wave band to find the song. I think the singer of the band what I'm looking for was a man with a very high pinch voice, but I could be wrong. But thanks for the song from Alphaville, didn't hear that before!

Camouflage - The Great Commandment {1987}

Dan

no it's not camourflage

Can you play some more notes of its melody?

It's pretty much all what I remember. The part what I'm playing, the melody is the singing part.

Tears for Fears - Mad World

"A View To A Kill" by Duran Duran

Thanks for the songs, but still not the one what I'm looking for

What about this one-hit wonder?

"Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKWbMJOIkUk

No it's not "too shy". It must be a one hit wonder or a not so famous song, because I heard it a 2 or 3 times in the radio and that's it and that was 10 years ago. I'm guessing it's a 80's or 90's song, I could be wrong.

This would have been my guess too!!

@ b333: I agree this sounds like the song you played in the video. Maybe another band did a cover of it?

I lived in Germany in the 1980’s. There was a definite trend in music in Europe then that was not as popular in the U.S. I’d venture to say, you are looking for a European band. Here are some of the top 80’s European Bands:

Spandau Ballet
Depeche Mode
Howard Jones
Elvis Costello
Joe Jackson
Tears For Fears
Thomas Dolby
The Police

Now. For OBSCURE European bands, try this link. It might lead you somewhere:

Here’s a link to an online book with a section about 1980’s European music. You’ll have to increase your screen zoom or use your computer magnifier for this:

Hope the links above work and open some new options for you. Also, have you checked out the music of "a-ha," a Norwegian band with magnificent singer Morten Harket? a-ha formed in 1982 and continued creating and performing music until 2010!!

Thanks for all the links
I am from germany, I heard the song in the radio, so I guess it's a european band for sure. Alphaville is from germany and the song comes really close, I'm still thinking it's not the song what I'm looking for, I already checked all the covers of the song. The song what I'm looking for is a slow song. A-ha is a great band, I grow up with their music, I got all the CD's Thanks

My suggestion have all been told (Depeche Mode, Alphaville and Camouflage). Camouflage was a one hit wonder band. Very famous also that time and men singing wiht high voices
BRONSKI BEAT
maybe Duran Duran?
Howard Jones "What is love"
what about this one: Real life "Send me an angel" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6zBjYIyz-0
they also had a 2nd topten hit "Catch me I'm falling" in Germany

Do you remember any lyrics?

I really hope we find "your" song. I read this thread this morning and since then I am thinking about it.

Try also ERASURE

Here's another song to try:

"Hold On" by Minor Detail

I loved living in Germany! We were in Bavaria, a small village near Aschaffenburg. Do you know it? Are you from that area (if you wish to reveal). Nice to hear from Germany again. Have quite a few friends there from various areas. . . . Yes, a-ha was so popular in Europe and internationally, but it never seemed to reach us on the radio in the USA. (Unless I was in a cocoon at the time!!) But Morten Harken and a-ha are great. . . . You are getting a good response to your query; surely soon you will get a lead to that crazy-making "I KNOW I heard that song--it's not in my imagination--is it!??" thinking!! I assure you, you are not crazy! We all feel that way when we're searching and searching . . .
