  1. Norweigan Wood - The Beatles

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    EUREKA!!!! I FINALLY found out the name of the song I've been searching for, for sooooooooo long now! It's "norwegian Wood" by The Beatles!!! Thankfully I was in IHOP last nite with friends when the song came on their sound system and I asked my friends (they're in their 50's!) what's THAT song?!?!! In unison they said it was Norwegian Wood!

    Thanks for all of you that tried to help!

  4. Norweigan Wood - The Beatles

    solved

    If you can read very basic music, that is, know the simple notes on a keyboard, perhaps you can play these notes and tell me what the name of this song is! I've been wondering forever! I want to find this song and buy it! Help!

    I'll start with the G-note:

    G A G F E D E C Bflat E A G

    The highest note on the list is the first "A" so the "C" would be lower than the "A" The notes in green are lower on the keyboard than the "C"

    I hope you can figure out what I'm trying so hard to explain! It's not easy. Please try though! I really appreciate it so much!

  8. A Real Shot In The Dark!!

    in Questions and Answers

    I don't know any words and obviously I can't hum the tune, so I'll ask you to put your wildly imaginative thinking caps on now to see what you may come up with! I heard this song that I really loved. I would describe it as a sound you'd get if you crossed "Lucky Man" by Emerson, Palmer & Lake with "Going To California" by Led Zeppelin. It has a medieval type of sound. The singer(s) do sound a lot like Emerson, P & L and the song is simply orchestrated. No fancy synthesizers or such. I know I'm not giving you much to go on, but if you can think of any songs that are sort of in this style or genre, please tell me and I'll go to Amazon and listen to it on their music sampler. Thank You!

  11. A Medieval Sound....

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    I heard a song in a restaurant a few days ago and couldn't hear any of the words, but I'd heard the tune before. Even if you could hear me, I couldn't hum the tune for you cuz I'm drawing a complete blank!! So all I can say is that it had a medieval type sound to it. When I say medieval, I mean sort of like the sound of Stairway To Heaven and Scarboro Faire. Since the odds of me hearing the song for a while are slight, I thought I'd ask you to name off some songs that you feel could fit into this category. I do know it was a male singer or band. The 3 groups that popped into my mind were The Who, Pink Floyd, or Led Zeppelin. However, I'm not saying it was any of these for sure. If it should happen that no one actually names the song I'm searching for, perhaps I'll still find some "undiscovered" gems by looking up your suggestions! I plan to use the Amazon song sampler to test the tunes you suggest. Thanks so much for any help!

  13. Going to California - Led Zeppelin

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    Hello my musical genius friends...maybe you can help me again...I was listening to the classic rock station and heard a song with this line in it: "Searching for a woman that's never been born". It is a male singer with only a guitar as accompaniment. The best i can describe it is that it has a lazy, laid-back kind of sound to it. I wish I had more to tell here, but that all I got...

    Thanx for any possible help!

  14. Back for good - Take That

    in Questions and Answers

    let's say that I split music into generalized categories (albeit my own system...not technically correct I s'pose...)

    For me there is "hard rock" (Aerosmith, for example),"soft rock" (Fleetwood Mac), and "Classic Rock" (Which for me encompasses a LOT of acts!), and "Oldies rock" (Beatles)

    Anyhow, it works for me! ::

    I never even heard of "Take That" until yesterday!! HaHaHa!!!

    I'm an oldies lover for the most part!

    So I'm officially "old" now!!! LOL!!!

  16. Historically significant songs from long ago

    "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday. Probably the most chilling song about racism and lynchings ever made.

    Lyrics:

    SOUTHERN TREES

    BEAR A STRANGE FRUIT

    BLOOD ON THE LEAVES

    AND BLOOD AT THE ROOT

    BLACK BODIES SWINGIN?

    IN THE SOUTHERN BREEZE

    STRANGE FRUIT HANGIN?

    FROM THE POPLAR TREES

    PASTORAL SCENE OF THE GALLANT SOUTH

    THE BULGING EYES AND THE TWISTED MOUTH

    SCENT OF MAGNOLIA

    SWEET AND FRESH

    THEN THE SUDDEN SMELL OF BURNIN? FLESH

    HERE IS A FRUIT

    FOR THE CROWS TO PLUCK

    FOR THE RAIN TO GATHER

    FOR THE WIND TO SUCK

    FOR THE SUN TO ROT

    FOR THE TREE TO DROP

    HERE IS A STRANGE

    AND BITTER

    CROP

    You could probably get a few papers out of this song. I believe she recorded it in 1939. It was written by a Jewish teacher in 1924 in response to lynchings in the South. Anyway, take a look at this one.

    I was going to say this song as well! It was the first one to pop into my head! I love it! Billie Holiday did a great job on this song, but you've got to hear Nina Simone's version! Stark,man, really stark...awesome....

  19. Back for good - Take That

    in Questions and Answers

    I may be looking for a needle in a haystack, but you never know....can anyone venture a guess as to what this song might be? All I can remember is that it has the line "whatever I said I didn't mean it" then it goes into a repetition of this line "I want you back...I want you back..."

    It is a soft rock song in the genre of something like George Michael or Nik Kershaw might sing. This song was sung by a male and was from the 80's or 90's.

    Thanx!

    Hi!

    My sister asked me to see if I could fnd out the name of a song that she likes after she heard it on the radio. I just hope that i am remembering the line she gave me correctly! :o

    I believe it says something like: "...Far, far away. You leave love bleeding ..."

    I know that this is not much to go on! :doh:

    If no one has a clue about what I'm talking about, I'll have to ask her again for the particulars!!! :laughing:

    I do know that it is a rock song from the 90's supposedly.

    Thanx!

  24. "Pretty In Pink" Soundtrack

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    I bought the CD for one song-WOULDN'T IT BE GOOD by Danny Hutton Hitters. However, when I listened to it, somehow it didn't sound like I remember it. I've heard the song on the radio lots of times and in my mind, the song is softer and maybe a little slower than what I'm hearing from the CD. Am I just crazy or was there another version or what???? :help:

    Thanks!

  25. Soundalike hits

    Funny that you brought this subject up because I was just telling my Mom how I think that the classic country and western song "Help Me Make It Thru The Night" (written by Kris Kristofferson and sung by Sammi Smith) sounds an awful lot like "The Cold Hard Truth" by George Jones, (a song released in the last few years.) I don't know how many members of this forum like old country music, so I may be the only one that knows what I'm talking about on this song comparison !! ::
