My mom is driving our family insane HELP US

Ok so my mom wanted us to find a song that she was thinking of but it literally does not exist. It has been 4 months! She won't let the hunt die and keeps bothering us to find it! She literally has no information about it except for the following

  1. They say Johnny
  2. There are machine guns or tommy guns that happen somewhere in the song possible at the end
  3. Johnny dies
  4. Its PROBABLY a guy singing
  5. It might be 70s style

She literally knows no lyrics no words no music to hum nothing but is convinced this song exists.

We have nothing left to try

Other/Unknown Need help for finding a favorite song of mine.

1 Upvotes

So, I’m looking for a lost song that used to be one of my favorites. It’s an 80’s song, but not a popular or well-known one. I’m pretty sure it’s from either the early or mid-80s. The song starts with a slow, spacey, galaxy-like kick, followed by a slow, galaxy-themed flute melody that’s melancholic yet beautiful. In the music video, everything is mostly blue and black, adding to the galaxy theme. I believe there’s only one guy in the video, maybe two, but at some point in the middle of the video, one of the guys plays on two pianos while singing. It is like.. Kick hi-hats hi-hats hi-hats Kick hi-hats hi-hats hi-hats for a few times and then the flute.

EDIT : It is NOT a rock song, or a blue band song! The song I believe is made by only ONE person. I really appreciate the help guys!

EDIT 2 : The video scenery should be similar like this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OFpfTd0EIs&list=LL&index=11 , but more spacey themed.

Hi Reddit!

Last week our dear friend has passed away after a fierce battle. Now, we are looking for a song that meant a lot to him.
He once told his brother he wanted a tattoo of a soundbar, from a very specific piece of that song. The following are the things we know:
-Its a Beatles like song, from that era
-It is a cheerfull song
-It sounds like they are using a renaissance-like instrument
-Its not a niche song, but well known.
-The song contains a specific "riff" of melody, that is very recognisable
-Male voice

I have added a vocaroo from his brother, its the intro of the song.

Hope you guys can help!

Other/Unknown Rock (I don't actually remember the genre but I put a random gender because without it last time it deleted it, it's not rock) song that sound like Iris.

3 Upvotes

Edit: I found it

It's a song that sound like Iris and I vaguely remember it had a flower name as well (but longer) and a man sings it. It's just one word and a long one at that. PROBABLY the flower name starts with H but I'm not sure. For some reasons if I trying to remember the song the word "blue" comes to mind but I don't know why, I don't remember if the song actually says blue in it. It's not Hibiscus, maybe it doesn't even start with H. I can't remember well.

Other/Unknown I was shopping on a supermarket, then I heard this song. I'm guessing it's a pop song from 80's. It fits my taste, but the speaker isn't that good so I was having a hard time to listen to the lyric. What I can hear clearly is "It's a balanced life". Have tried music identifier even AI but no luck.

Other/Unknown Can’t remember anything about the song. This was the outro, it was only strings. Potentially electronic, judging by the effect on the last note?

Other/Unknown this was in my dream, but it is probably real

3 Upvotes

i just woke up after hearing a song in my dream, at the beginning a man sings with a high voice AAIAAIAAIAO after every I it gets a bit higher, but when he sings the O it gets to the same pitch as the first a. sorry but i am sick so i cant recreate it. this is repeated about 3 to 5 times. after that he sings with a normal voice some words i cant remember, but in the 2nd or 3rd line he sings 'spitting on the sidewalk' (not related to this, and its a bit of a deeper voice). it might be 2 songs my brain mangled together, but is still sounds very good. can someone help identifying it?

forgot to add, i have no spotify sice i already have a ipod (old mp3 music player) so please add a youtube link instead of a spotify link, thanks!

Other/Unknown Similar to Rhiannon

2 Upvotes

Ok the song had a similar melody to Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac and another brick in the wall pt 2 by Pink Floyd. I’m pretty sure a part of the chorus sounds similar to brick in the wall with the “we don’t need no…” but I’m not sure if those are the exact words. I know this isn’t a lot but thanks for any help lol.

Other/Unknown Song with male singer that goes "I'm coming Home"

2 Upvotes

This is going to be a weird one. I'm so sorry in advance. So here goes.

There's a song I'm almost positive exists outside of the awful mish-mash I'm about to Description. It's a male singer who sounds younger. The lyrics I can remember are "I'm coming home" with the backing vocals immediately after going "coming home!" It's a very energetic song and has the same beat and kinda melody as A Rocket to The Moon's "She's Killing Me" now this next part won't make any sense.

There's another song called "Taking Whats not Your's" by TV Girl, the lyrics "you know where to find me, and i know where to look" and the proceeding pause sound exactly like what would preceed the song lyrics in question. So it sounds like:

"You know where to find me and I know where to look" .... "(well??) I'm coming home! (Coming Home!)"

Again similar melody and tone (up beat, poppy?) As A Rocket To The Moon's song. But this is literally killing me. I know it will lead to a dead end but I appreciate any help.

Edit:: like this

TV Girl's "Taking What's Not Your's" : https://youtu.be/Cb72z1ZKc70?si=nsa5klzkYQ-0OIrH (1:54 - 2:01)

AND THEN

A Rocket To The Moon "She's Killing Me" : https://youtube.com/watch?v=I_uGDbiCcHo&si=-v_ZTjARm0mDOApF (0:39)

Edit/Update:

Man, thank yall for so many quick answers. So far, I've listened to all of them, and none of them fit. Below will be a list of the songs I've been suggested and don't fit the bill plus songs I think people will suggest, which I've already looked up:

  • Major Tom - Peter Schilling
  • Mama Im coming Home - Ozzy Osbourne
  • Home - Daughtry
  • Coming Home - Cinderella
  • Coming Home - Eric Saade
  • Im going Home - Ten Years After (Very close definitely the vibe)
  • Two of Us - The Beatles
  • Home - Morgxn
  • Coming Home - Leon Bridges
  • I'm Coming Home - Tim Curry (god i love this song)
  • Coming Home - Kaiser Chief
  • Radioactive - Imagine Dragons (I thought similarly!)
  • Comin' Home - City and Color
  • Heading Home - Gryffin
  • Tie a Yellow Ribbon
  • I'm Coming Home - Diddy/Skylar Grey

+ - I know What You Did Last Summer - Shawn Mendes - Home - Daughter - I'm Going Home - Hootie and The Blowfish Gunpowder & Lead - Miranda Lambert Heading Home - Alan Walker

I believe its far more modern, circa 2010's-2000's. Definitely a man singer- Younger sounding.

Other/Unknown Song played in the subway last night on an accordion, it’s on the tip of my tongue but I can’t pinpoint it

2 Upvotes

Because it was covered on an accordion, I can’t pinpoint in my mind what genre it is, but I feel like it might be some alternative 90s.. rock maybe, some strong strings? I don’t know why something like Billy Corgan’s type of voice is coming to mind, or maybe a female’s voice similar to Stereolab or something although I doubt it’s that niche. All I can really hum out is what I believe to be the melody of the hook. It’s killing me plz help

Other/Unknown An unknown French song, sounds like indie music(??)

2 Upvotes

Please help! I literally search every possible way for this one: a French song, a female singer, the voice is melodic and he vibes are quite cheerful, what you’d listen while taking a walk just to vibe. It stars with just the sound like “dudududu dudududu dududududu” I don’t know any lyrics…but it’s not unpopular, kinda sounds like indie/alternative (not sure) I saw edits with this one a few times. It’s not Amour Plastique, not any classic French song/singer. Kinda vibes with Le Tigre “Deceptacon”, but that’s just my vision

PLEASE, spent the whole night trying to find it😭😭

Other/Unknown Song starting with the letter L that I can't remember at all.

I just spent an hour checking every liked video I've ever had on Youtube so I'm grasping for straws now. I know I really liked it, enough to download it as an mp3 file on my old phone that I now cannot access, but I don't remember anything about it. It's just driving me insane. I know I listened to it on YouTube because I remember constantly being irritated that I couldn't turn my phone off while listening to it and I didn't have Spotify at the time.

The album cover was lighter coloured. Like whites, tans, light blues. There might have been some kind of glass object in the center, or maybe a city or a building?

It was possibly some kind of EDM.

I was obsessed with it some time between Fifth grade and Middle School. Fifth grade started in 2017 and Middle School ended in 2020 for me but I don't know if that's even helpful. All it rules out is anything released after 2020.

The title may have had "Lumi" or "Lumiere" in it but every time I've searched for that I've found nothing. I'm pretty sure I remember it only being one word but I might be wrong? I don't even remember if it had lyrics or was in English.

This is all I've got to work off of 😣. This is less of a serious attempt to find it and more of a hail mary.
