    Default What is This "Mystery" Song?

    I heard a song the other day that I have heard occasionally. I know nothing about it but I'll tell you what I can, and any help ID-ing it is appreciated.

    The music is smooth, gentle and romantic-sounding. It just sounds like a beautiful song.
    The chorus line repeats something like "Deseret" or "Deseree" - that's what it sounds like, but not sure exactly what it is.

    If I get any help I'll try to find it on You Tube and confirm that it's the song.

    Thanks!

    Default No - Not These Songs

    No - it's neither of the above songs but thanks for suggestions. Checked them on You Tube.

    Again, the chorus line repeats something like "Deseret" or "Deseree" - with a long A sound at the end of the word. It is not "desire" with the long I sound.

    Any further suggestions appreciated.

    I'm guessing it's a cover version of Neil Diamond's "Desiree" ... not that I know of any.

    Default No - Not That One Either

    No - it's not Neil Diamond's song "Desiree" - I am familiar with that one.

    Perhaps the word at end of chorus line isn't "Desiree" but something that sounds like it. I am just putting forth what it sounds like to me.

    The melody is "smooth" - reminds me of K.D. Lang's music - but it's not one of her songs. I am also thinking that it's possibly sung by a group.

    Don"t you hate when something unsolved drives you crazy? - LOL

    Thanks for any further info.

    Not any of these either (sigh).

    I'll know it when I hear it, further suggestions welcome.

    Default Solved - Thanks!

    bugmenot1 - I am "almost sure" it is DANCE AWAY by Roxy Music - after listening to it a few times, it has to be it. I say this with 99.9% certainty, and not 100% only because I knew so little about the song - only what fleetingly sounded like "Desiree."

    Thank you bugmenot1 !

    Note: Interesting Laura Nyro version of "Desiree" - I have loved Laura Nyro for decades - had a few of her 33 1/3 RPM albums from back in the day - think they're around here somewhere gathering dust. I recognize that song as a 50s "Doo-***" song - can't remember the group that recorded it, but definitely have that version running through my head. (Anyone?)

    Thanks all for the suggestions - much appreciated. Will mark as "solved". So glad I found this forum!
