    Default SOLVED:80's song need identification - Talk to me

    I'm looging for this song for ages...
    All i can remember, is that it was on a magnetic tape (not a cassette), my guess is the year was 1986 (on the same tape was EAV - Fata Morgana, this unknown song, then Communards - So Cold the Night, an somewhere on the other side was Erasure - Say What). I've made those specifications because at that time we were just copying the tapes entirely, no edit was made on them. That hepled me too to identify the year.
    The song was like that: an instrumental intro, then the vocals (it was a he or a she??? can't tell)
    An VERY aproximate transcription is like that:

    "We (moving), we (falling),
    (??????? in the dark)
    (?????????????????)
    (??????????????????)
    Now that i've found you
    (???????????????????)
    (???????????????????)
    (???????????????????)

    Refrain
    Talk, talk, talk to me,
    Talk, talk, talk to me,
    Please
    (??????????)
    Talk, talk, talk to me,
    Talk, talk, talk to me,
    Please
    (??????????)

    Intrumental
    Please, talk to me "

    When i ask Google about that, i've got results like Kiss or Stevie Nicks...Neither of them are a match for what i'm looking for....
    If you have any idea of what i'm trying to find, please don't hesitate to send your suggestions.
    An as a bonus: another song from '87-'88 - Instrumental only, then a guy stars to do the yodler, an as refrain a girl sings some "la-la-la"s

    Hope it made sense

    None of the suggestions didn't match to what i'm looking for. I've searched the net, and get many results, bot not luck so far.
    Looking for the title does not get any valid result (from my point of vue...).
    Anyway, thank you for trying.

    It was pop, or maybe Italo-Disco.... Surely wasn't rock.
    A lot of synt, effects, as i remember. Well, it was like 25 years ago

    MAybe its worth a try:
    Come talk to me - Peter Gabriel
    Talk to me - Eurythmics (but I am sure you have tried this one before)


    About the yodler: Try Hubert von Goisern with Zabina.
    In the late 80ies und early 90ies thy did some projects together; maybe its them
    here is one live youtube clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts91aDORFO0

    Thank you too, but none of the suggestions aren't what i'm looking for (and yes, i've checked all the songs matching that name on Youtube or Google).
    On the other hand, Hubert and Zabina are a way different style of music compared to the second song. My guess is that was a Italo Disco group, as i remember on that tape was mainly that kind of music (Round One - In Zair, Saphir - Shot In The Night, R. Bais - Dial My Number, Bernie Paul - Radio).
    Thast tune was "happy", if i can said so (quick rythm, nice synth effects, and no lyrics at all). The other songs on that tape show that they were recorded in 1985, an not in 1987-1988, as i stated before (then is the moment when i've listen it). I managed to identify the other songs by downloading tons of mp3's and remembering those i've been listen before.

    I believe the song your thinking of is by Giorgio, the girl is an actress by the name of Charlotte Ross. I know I use to listen to this song because I was 19 at the time and I loved it. It was 1989 if were thinking of the same song....I was trying to find it also and ran accross this thread. If you find it please let me know.

    Sorry, I've been out for a few days... Thank you all for trying, but still no match to what I'm looking for.
    Maybe I'm doomed to never find it again .
    And the time period was '85-'86, most probably 1986.
    I was 16 then and this kind of music made my days.
    Anyway, thanks again to all

    I know what song you're after! It is 'Talk Talk' by the Swedish 80's synth pop/italo group Style (really inspired band name...). It is not to be found right now on Youtube or Spotify or else unfortunately. If you want to find it, it's included on the LP Heaven no 7 from 1986.

    I remember these lyrics:

    We're hiding, we're seeking
    Maneuvrers in the dark
    ...
    Talk talk talk to me x2
    Please
    You're all I desire
    Talk talk talk to me x2
    Please
    I'm caught in a fire with you

    And also a 'Baby baby baby baby baby come on' repeated several times towards the end of the song

    Style also had a No 1 on Billboard Dance in the US in 1985 with 'Telephone'. The beat and harmonies are very similar to Alphaville's 'Big in Japan'.
