Being driven mad by a song

[GiggsysGirl]

There's a song I hear constantly at work but cannot find what it's called or who it's by. It's a simple song, just a bloke and a guitar. He has quite a thick accent (Irish maybe) which makes deciphering the lyrics against the background noise tricky, but it sounds like something along the lines of...

"It's easy to say goodbye...so hard to say hello...[something something something]...easier to let one another go..."

Don't let me down Caf

 

[Scrumpet]

Is it this? It doesn't fit the description exactly but the lyrics are sort of similar.

 

[GiggsysGirl]

Nope Can find quite a few songs that go "...hard to say goodbye" but this one is definitely "...hard to say hello."

It's also a lot slower than that.

 

[TheMancRedDevil]

Dunno the song but I found these lyrics...

In the weeks that follow a breakup
The last thing you want to do
Is be out buyin' groceries
And see you-know-who
I left a half-filled shopping cart
Sittin' on isle three
Made a beeline for my car
Prayin' that she didn't see me
And

Chorus
It ended well
We said we'd still be friends
So somebody tell me why
It's so hard
To say hello
To the one who said goodbye

By a guy called Brad Paisley

 

[GiggsysGirl]

Yeah, I saw that too but still no dice

This is maddening!

 

[Xander45]

Any idea what radio station it was on GG, you can usually find the playlist for a station somewhere.

 

[GiggsysGirl]

No station, unfortunately. Just some generic mix they pipe through the hotel hour after hour, day after day.

 

[Adzzz]

Ask around at work - you need to get the lyrics or a portion of the verse, so it's less generic and easier to find.

 

[Zarlak]

It ain't easy
To ever say goodbye
It ain't easy
Lettin' go of the ones you love
But believe me
We'll meet again by and by
If not here
Somewhere up above



That it?

 

[Rado_N]

Use Shazam next time it's on.

 

[Zarlak]

It's so hard to say hello
To say hello
Can somebody tell me why
It's so hard
To say hello
To the one that said goodbye

Or...

It's hard to say hello, harder to say goodbye
I had to let you go, wo-ah, wo-ah, wo-ah
It's hard to say hello, harder to say goodbye
I had to let you go, wo-ah, wo-ah, wooo.

 

[GiggsysGirl]

Or...

It's hard to say hello, harder to say goodbye
I had to let you go, wo-ah, wo-ah, wo-ah
It's hard to say hello, harder to say goodbye
I had to let you go, wo-ah, wo-ah, wooo.

Maaaybe. What is that?

 

[Zarlak]

Maaaybe. What is that?

Sang by a woman, but it might be a cover of this song that you heard, so see if it's the same song, then search for guys who have done covers.

 

[GiggsysGirl]

Ok, thanks to running to the cellar where the music system is kept when the song came on, I now know it's called "A Thousand Times" but it didn't have the name of the artist on the display so I'm still stumped.

Ringing any bells for anyone?

 

[gormless]

Does his voice go quite high at times in the song?

 

[20solskjaer]

This might help, you can listen to some of them on the site, just having a look through the list it could be by patrick mcginley

Allmusic

A couple of those I couldn't find online to listen to so could be in amongst them. Not Patrick McGinley though, his voice is too low...

Does his voice go quite high at times in the song?

...so yes, his voice is quite high. Do you know something?

 

[Rado_N]

Can't you use Shazam when you hear it?

 

[GiggsysGirl]

I don't have Shazam

 

[Rado_N]

Anyone has Shazam, just dial 2580.

 

[GiggsysGirl]

Oh really? Ok, watch this space...

 

[GiggsysGirl]

"The number dialled has not been recognised!"

ARGH!

 

[Rado_N]

Really? I just tried it and it worked here, you definitely rang the right number?

Shazam 2580

 

[GiggsysGirl]

Probably not. Let me check my phone...

...no, I dialled 2180.

Bumping this thread, need some help with a song.

What I remember of it is very vague - its a rock song with a very Aerosmith-y chorus. The lyrics in the chorus are 'I will alllllllllways loooove youuu'. Yes, crappy lyrics but it's stuck in my head. That's literally all I can remember of it.

It's not Lovesong by the Cure or any of it's covers. It's driving me crazy!

 

[WR]

Has to be!

 

[Urbanned]

I originally thought it was a rock cover of it, and searched for that first, but I don't think one was made!

All I know is that the chorus sounds very much like an Aerosmith song

 

[Snow]

Do you have and android phone? Have you tried googling the humming?

 

[Urbanned]

Do you have and android phone? Have you tried googling the humming?

Nope. And wtf, googling the humming?!

 

[Urbanned]

Found it!!!!

 

[lem8sh]

 

[Snow]

Nope. And wtf, googling the humming?!

Yup. That works. If you get the humming right.

Didn't notice how old this thread was until now.

 

[EspadaYdaga]

anyone know this one?

got lyrics something like:

How did i ever get into this, how could i ever have kissed that bitch, so what if she has got big tits...

 

[gormless]

Wondering if anyone can help me. Heard it in a best of 2011 compilation a month ago. Female singer, music video has a green background, she's walking up and down stairs a lot and I'm sure the songs about a man, possibly might have the word man in the title. Its driving me mental and I've asked so many people in real life who don't know I'm beginning to think I imagined it. I know is not a lot to go on

 

[Solius]

Do you know any lyrics? Or the genre?

 

[gormless]

No lyrics, it sounded kind of a bit like Eliza Doolittle. Like I said, its a really long shot

 

[phelans shorts]

?

Anyway, if you want a song to drive you mad, try getting this out of your head.

 

[GiggsysGirl]

?

There isn't one aspect of that that doesn't annoy me.

 

[gormless]

?

Nope. Thanks for trying though, I realise I gave next to nothing to go on.
