    Default [SOLVED] Been looking for this song for 10 years now! Please help

    Hey .

    I've been looking for a song for 10 years now almost.


    I got a small radio as a kid, so the song was somehow fresh during 1999 - 2005.

    General:
    - Man was singing
    - Language: English
    - Smooth / Pop
    - Smiliar to the band "A-Ha", especially the Song "Take On Me" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914)

    Details about the song:
    - In the referain, the man starts a medium, to go afterwards high with his voice. When he starts with the
    new line, he seems to go down a little and go high again in the end. I think this line ends with " ... have a feeling!"
    And after that (this is actually pretty interesting) you hear a BELL FOUR times ringing. From high to low.

    Afterwards, I think i remember him starting the new line with "And I don't ... ". Again high voice.


    Maybe the information with the bells ringing can help me to find the song.

    Thanks for every help!



    INFORMATION ADDED (Update 12.04.2012):

    http://www.musipedia.org/js_piano.html#x

    c'4 f'4 g'4 r8 g'4 f'4 g'8 g'8 f'8

    Thats how the melody goes in the first lines of the refrain.

    _____ , ____ , _______ (c'4 f'4 g'4) It started with a smooth, low hummling, that goes higher the first two lines. Seemed to be three words, could be one word though that got stretched the whole line,

    __, ___ , __, _______ (g'4 f'4 g'8 g'8 f'8 ) New line, i think that the last word "feeling" got stretched between g'8 and f'8. After this line, then four bells were ringing, from high to low. Dun, dun, dun, dun.


    Me humming the first line from the refrain:

    Heey,

    sadly not. Trying to get the melody i remember into a piano, maybe it helps someone out.

    Can just add that he goes higher with his voice than Simple Minds.

    Thank you very much though!

    Hey there!

    Sounded very promising. Sadly wasnt the right song!

    Both times the voice is pretty near to my imaginations and I feel like were pretty close!
    Its just not as ... slow as your two songs! A little more Pop and Speed in it.

    Thank you for your help though, Would be awesome to find that song. (:

    Heey.

    Yeah i tried it. Like several times.
    You need any information out of the piano?
    "e1-434 b1-602 d2-1019 d2-366 b1-416 d2-208 d2-575 c2"
    Is all I got. Looked through Musipedia and the Web.
    Normally I would lose faith in finding a song like that, but in my opinion I have enough informations for
    the refrain, so that maybe one person could like find the song in it.

    Especially the important thing with the four bells ringing. ;/

    Thank you for your help!

    Push! ):

    Hey!

    Uhm ... the notes would be a1 g1 f1 e1. If im getting the question correctly.
    Its like 4 church bells standing next to each other. And afterthe first line the first one starts with a1, second one with g1 ... etc.

    Hey there!

    Meh, sadly not. ):
    Although it could be some lyrics along "You lost that loving feeling" or something like that.
    We're on a good track.

    Thank you for the help!!

    Hi, well, for my thoughts if it sounds like a-ha it might be a song from coldplay which sounds maybe a little at least similar.
    At least high voice and soft sound.
    Can you maybe sing it or hum it. A melody could be helpful.

    I tried it.

    Might sound a liiiiil bit higher, but i think its cool.
    Thats basically the sound, and after this its like the 4 bells are ringing. (:

    Thank you for the help!

    Hi again,
    are you sure the song is from the 99 to 05? Well, there is this one song from Lindsay Buckingham called Trouble.
    Well, it is just a guess, it doesnt actually has bells but some sound going up and down in the refrain.
    Greetz.

    Waiting on your reply. Thx.

    Hey there!

    I heard it somewhere between these years. Song doesnt have to be released in these years though.
    But the voice is really almost the same as much as i can think back!

    The start seemed pretty good, was like melodic and all that ...

    Those four ringing bells are like BIG church bells. Not the small ones. (:

    Thank you for the help!

    Push!
