Does anyone remember that old, old, old thread....

[david]

I am trying my best to search the forum archives for it but I cannot find it.

Anyway, it was an old thread about a song someone had recorded off the radio that sounded like, A LOT, like late 80's U2 especially the vocals by the singer. I don't think we ever found out who that band was anyway, so I wanted to take another shot at it..

But as I said, I can't find the thread anyway.

Seriously, I think it was originally from 02 or 03.

I only posted here because it is, well, sort of U2 related. But the thread can be moved if necessary.

No clue David.

The only thing i remember from 02 or 03 was professing my love for sheep, and a lot of people were like and

I know it sounds bad, and there's a few haters, but the truth is there are some very closeted Sheppard's in here.

That is all.

This seems like a good place..

Back in 2000 before ATYCLB came out there was a leak on Napster.. The songs were all fake, but this is one of the songs that was leaked and touted as being Stuck in a Moment.. I could never find out who sung this song..Throwing the lyrics into google doesn't help. Some people say it sounds like Peter Gabriel but I could never find the song. Oh and I only have the first 2 mins of the song.


Maybe you guys might know...

I wasn't a member of this forum when the original thread was posted, but I totally remember the follow-up (or second attempt) thread from a few years ago.

I've just dug up the original:

And the second attempt:

There we go. Seems the links are dead. I like the one recommendation in the second attempt thread of using the Shazam app. Huh.

 

[clifedge]

I think the recording sounds very amateurish. Maybe a local band who were buddies with the DJ?

"The sound gets drownded out"? C'mon.

 

[bono_212]

Is there any audio from this? I would like to go insane for an hour or so trying to figure it out.

Tried to Soundhound yours but: There were no close matches

Shazaam says the same. Probably some band that was trying to release their own material and fuck people over.

 

[kingofsorrow]

i remember that thread. didn;t we conclude it was BVS doing the singing?

 

[cobl04]

I doubt we concluded it, we probably just got sick of arguing with him

 

[BVS]

What the what? How did I get brought into this?

 

[nirniva]

Does anyone have a reupload of the links? Seems like this would be worth a listen...

I think there's a link to the audio in post #5 of this thread.

That link is for a different song that Steved1998 was asking about.

I do remember the song from various threads but couldn't find it on youtube.

NOBODY seems to able to give any clue and some serious music fans have racked their brains.

I thought it was a bit Simple Minds ish. I also remember the vocals/lyrics having some produciton flaws indicating it was perhaps a live recording and not a polished studio cut.

I live in vancouver and was a radio listening teen at the time and also asked some radio affiliated people. No clues.
