the name of the site is http://www.whatsthenameofthatsong.com. pretty original. i cant vouch for it because after i hummed a few bars of this soft, lilting ballad it matched it to a Sir MixALot tune (I like Big Butts, to be exact).

this is as close as i could get to it playing by ear on the keyboard (in 1/8th notes arpeggio-style):
CAFCCAFACAFCCAFABGbEbBBGbEbGbBGbEbBBGbEbGb...x2 or 3 more times.
can you help?

yep, that is why i said all your suggestions were pretty songs, too. there is a website that will find your song if you play it or hum it into the microphone. maybe i will try that too but im not getting my hopes up because i sing like a whale.

these are all great songs! but alas, they were not meant to be. the piano intro in question is played arpeggio-style as a student would play scales, and they descend in a minor chord so it sounds very wistfull and melancholy. i know it sounds vague. this is a true test of the internet's power.

thanks but no banana yet.

the lyrics are male. i couldnt figure out the words. im thinking its got to be someone popular like coldplay or green day or dave matthews. it is slow and sad almost like rolling stones' bittersweet symphony.

...in descending 1/8th note intervals. it keeps repeating until the lyrics kick in then it ends with the same sad, pretty, dreamy piano scales? i have heard it quite often on the radio. if you can give me a clue of the artist, i can hunt around for the song.
