This is what I sounds like

Looking for an Indie/Folk song by an indie Australian female artist (2010s–2018)

Genre/Vocal Style: Indie Folk, Country Rock, Americana. She has a very mellow, soft singing voice.

Release Era: Sometime between 2010 and 2018. Likely a lesser-known or mid-tier artist featured on Triple J or Triple J Unearthed.

Artist Appearance: Caucasian female, tall (approx. 5'6" to 6ft), with short-to-shoulder-length brown hair, and possibly wears clear glasses.

Music Video Imagery: She is possibly holding/playing an acoustic guitar and walking through a river or shallow natural water source. The song is a melancholic track about a lost love or breakup.

Key Lyrics: Contains a line very close to: "And I was so sure that you would stay" (or "so sure that you'd stay").

idk if this is appropriate for this subreddit but theres a video of some guy doing a guitar solo in a concert in the 80s or 90s, it was a distinctly rock song, he held the guitar lapstyle, and he was using a glass slider. i cant find the song or the clip of that solo. song kinda sounded like some prince. either the song or the specific clip helps, thanks..

Hello!

For the past two decades, I've been absolutely haunted by this song that I remember hearing once when I was younger.

I heard the song in a flash animation hosted by Weeble's Stuff. I'd have to imagine this was in the late 2000s. Possibly like 2007 - 2008, though I can't be exactly certain of the date.

I don't really remember the video, but for some reason, the song has stuck with me many years later.

It had an alt-rock vibe, almost Radiohead-esque, though I'm like 99% sure it's not actually Radiohead.

The lyrics went something like, "I think I'm losing my grip... I think I am... and I'm free falling, and I'm losing my grip, I'm freeeeeeee, oh woah"

This is probably pretty obvious, but the song is very much not Free Fallin by Tom Petty.

I've been searching for this song on Google for 2 decades now and have turned up absolutely nothing.

Does anyone have any clues or leads?

I was talking to my boyfriend about a tube of lipgloss that sang a song that I had when I was a kid that I couldn’t remember the name of, and he said that I should ask this subreddit so here I am!

It had to be around 2008-2010, it was on a tube of lipgloss that would play a song when you opened it and the only lyric I remember was “Everyone’s robbing a Mercedes Benz”. I’m assuming it was a song from the early 2000’s because I had another one that sang Kelly Clarkson’s because of you and the other ones in the store sang other top 100’s. The lipgloss was also glittery & orange/peach from what I remember if that would help any. Thanks in advance!

Hey folks,

I’ve searched for this all day long - I am sure I have heard it as intro of many mafia movies in Bollywood but can’t find the original source of this sample

It’s in the first 10 seconds of Bollywood Boom Bap by Rorsach according to Spotify - need to find original

TIA

I'm looking for a movie or TV show scene that I saw multiple times in YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels.

Here's everything I remember:

• It's set in an American elementary or middle school.
• A female music teacher is holding auditions for the school choir or singing group.
• She's sitting at a table with a clipboard while students audition one by one.
• There is no audience—just a small stage or auditorium with other children waiting for their turn.
• The teacher seems tired or bored after hearing many students.
• A slightly chubby white boy, around 10–12 years old, wearing regular clothes, walks onto the stage.
• He sings a cappella (no piano or backing music).
• His voice starts very soft and beautiful, then builds into a powerful, hopeful climax.
• He holds a long note that sounds something like "Weeeeeeeee... are heeeeeeeere..." (I'm almost certain those aren't the actual lyrics, just what they sound like to me).
• The teacher becomes emotional and looks like she's about to cry because she realizes how talented he is.
• I think he may have been one of the last students to audition.
• I've mostly seen this clip used in YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels, usually with inspirational or cinematic edits.

I've already checked Boychoir and The Chorus, and it doesn't seem to be either of those.

Does anyone recognize this scene, the movie/TV show, or the song being sung? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was calmly browsing YouTube until i stumbled across this incomprehensible video which depicts very weird a very weird blue wojak meme flying to this song I don't know, amd because I really like how it sounds, is there anyone here who knows it's name? By the way I think it's from an old disco from the 2000's, used for this video which I suspect it being a flash animation given the quality and the way the wings of the wojak are drawn.

Tried googling but the dadada's are not matching up.

There's a very simple melody I'm thinking of possibly with no words or or maybe even just says the dadada's, it goes like this:

Da, __

Da da,

Dadadadadadadadada,

Da, __

Da da,

Dadadadadadadadada,

And just repeats like that with that rough timing. I've been singing it to my baby and it's been bugging the hell out of me trying to figure out where it even came from.

Not sure how difficult these ones are to identify. Thanks in advance if anyone has any suggestions 🤞🏻🧡

Okay so I'm gonna try and say everything I remember. I was at a record store in my city and they've always got music playing in the speakers, and as I was looking I started playing attention to it. I think the genre was rap, but it felt more spoken word? Like there was no flow or anything, it just sounded like a kinda monotone make voice over a best which wasn't that hip-hoppy, if you get what I mean. I only heard two of the songs. The first one had a kind of more hip-hop style beat, not trap or anything but a pretty basic rap beat with nothing special. In it there's a male pretty monotone voice which talks about how when he grew up in London, he used to take a special walk. One day he decides to take a shortcut, but he starts to hate the shortcut as much as the normal path because it was way more tiring and made him exhausted I think. He also spoke about how he hated himself for it and something else. I kind of stopped paying attention after that because I thought about the music not being that good. I started paying attention towards the end again though, when it sounded more inspiring and he said something about being able to love and grow as a person or something along those lines. The second song I barely payed attention to but it was the same artist and it was more like "but I now managed to move past that point in my life, and I was able to love the world, And myself." The instrumental in that one was also a bit more electronic I think. Please help me find this, I've been thinking about it all day!!!!!!!
