resolved Fan song for Maximum Ride? Music
There's this fan song for the Maximum Ride series that my sibling and I loved when we were kids, but don't remember the name of or where it was posted. I don't know all the lyrics, but I do remember the chorus:
Nevermore, I will fight to the end/ If you want something you don't pretend/ Not a piece of your game, not part of your lie/ Don't tell me you don't know I'm Maximum Ride
There was also a pre-chorus part that went:
Trust you nobody trusts you/ My game you'll never win it/ Let me guess, he's the first to die?/ Well just 'cause you can read minds/ Doesn't mean it's true, doesn't mean I care/ You know he's mine
I've tried asking some people in the MR fandom itself, but nobody seems to know of this song. If anyone here has any idea what I'm talking about, I would be so incredibly grateful for the name of the song/a link to it - it's been driving me crazy for almost two years now.
Edited by MissGemKnightresolved Nu metal song that uses nursery rhymes in the lyrics Music
I remember my dad playing this nu metal song when I was little. It was a Korn-esque song that uses dark nursery rhymes like Ring Around the Rosie in its lyrics, interspersed with some screaming lyrics I can't remember. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
resolved Creepy Piano Music Music
So, there's this piece of creepy piano music, you can hear it right here
, but I also hear it in iceberg videos. What is it?
resolved Song with some line about how "you cry when you need to" (solved) Music
I first heard this song in 2002. I managed to find it a long ways back, but lost it again, so I'm asking here. It had a male singer, and he seemed to be singing about his girlfriend or something. One of the lines at the beginning was something about how "You cry when you need to". I'm not sure what genre it is but it was pretty soft.
Edited by Bootlebatresolved public domain piano song about a cat? Music
This is kind of a weird one, but I remember when I was a kid I took piano lesson's briefly. One of the songs had to do with a cat, and was kind of cute/funny, although I can't remember any actual lyrics, or I'd have looked them up.I assume it was public domain if the piano school was teaching it, but could be wrong. Also, I think it sounded kinda similar to "Lady Marmalade", as there is a scene in Beethoven (which I watched like a year before) where the babysitter sings that song, and for a while I misremembered her as singing the cat song I'm looking for instead.
Edited by Bootlebatresolved "Everybody do the ??? Dance" song Music
I once heard this song in a store in 2014 or 2015. It went something like "everybody do the wants it dance everybody do the wants it dance something something clap your hands everybody do the wants it dance” but because I don’t remember some of the lyrics (and I’m not sure if they really said “wants it”), I’m unable to find it, and this point, I’m convinced that I imagined it.
resolved Album cover Music
Album cover with a girl smiling and looking up? I think she had black hair or something. From the 90s
Edited by sassyelliott2403resolved Trailer song Music
I think these two trailers feature the same song and I want to know what it is.
resolved [Solved] dance party starts in a traffic jam? Music
Trying to ecover a music video for an EDM track. The video involves a traffic jam caused by two officers arresting a man. People start dancing, including a panhandler, a married couple with the wife pregnant and an older lady that starts humping an older man. Eventually the two police officers join in, and meanwhile two guys are freeing the arrested guy who than drives away in the patrol car.
Edited by Circeusresolved Song that says "As the day fades away" Music
There was this song I first heard on the radio in 1997. I would call it smooth jazz, or maybe soft rock. It had a female singer singing "As The Day Fades Away", which I'm pretty sure was the only lyrics in the song (at least I don't remember any others.)
resolved Trance album I heard in 2003 Music
There was this trance album i heard in 2003 that I swear had something about "gog magog" in the title, although a search for that on Discogs only turns up one result, and it's not it. Anyway, I remember the songs were mostly instrumental. The second track was called "the race", although that's too generic to search for. I remember a song later on the album was called "creature from outer space" and had a sample of a man's voice saying "creature from outer space" right at the beginning. Finally, while I can't remember the name of the final track, I remember it had some weird samples, like a man's voice saying "ahhh, the smell of plastic", and later what sounded like a cartoon character saying things like "This is an execution" and "say your prayers". I thought it would be easy to find it again with all I remembered but I can't, so here I am.
resolved Iconic guitar song Music
There is this song I'm thinking off that I don't know the name off.
From experience I know the song/music is a classic and at least a decade old by now. It opens with an iconic guitar riff that continues throughout the song, being mostly instrumental but featuring a male voice, and it is in the minor key. If I could describe the mood, I'd say it sounds like an epic brawl of some sort is about to ensue.
This is about the best I can say about it, so I hope someone will recognize it.
Edit: I just remembered it is used in this video at around 2:12

resolved Anime Music Video About Girl And Robot Music
So, there was this music video I saw in around 2009 that was playing on some rhythm game installed at a Chuck E. Cheese.
It was animated in an anime style and follows this girl, who was running through a forest before she suddenly slips and winds up tumbling into this abandoned building. The building isn’t in the best condition with wires dangling everywhere, and she ends up meeting this little spherical robot (closest image I can think of is One-One from Infinity Train but with a different color palette).
A bunch of bigger and more intimidating looking robots end up activating and chase after the girl and the little robot while shooting lasers at them. The little robot ends up forcing the girl into an escape pod while leaving itself behind. It ends with the girl crying as the building explodes while the escape pod flies away.
Haven’t seen it since and it’s been driving me crazy.
Edited by RabbitsAreNeatresolved male artist in movie backlot? Music
I'm trying to remember a pop/dance music video - Male singer - Could be a band, but only one artist is featured in the actual video - He's dancing and interacting with movie props and equipments in a movie backlot - E.g. artificial rain, camera cranes etc. - The actual decor seems to be mostly a western movie of some sort - Actors in costume and movie technicians are constantly moving in and out of the picture - This is NOT the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot (i.e. not Why don't you get a job)
resolved A video clip about not sleeping at night Music
Hello, i'm here because i've got a melody stuck in me head but i can't find out the title of the song. All i can remember is that it was about being a night owl and the singer in the videoclip was a white guy wearing Mc Hammer style gold parachute pants. I know its slim but i also know internet can do miracles, so thank you if my very lackluster description somehow ring a bell to you. Have a nice night
resolved Unknown Eastern European song Music
I just found this video on Youtube which is titled "My Wandering Fire".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsxY1QDl9S4
Apparently this was recording on some Easter European channel in the 90s and the english lyrics are these:
"My wandering fire Lost without a trace In a foreign land The weaving wind sometimes Bitter smoke brings me
My wandering fire Shines brightly in the wrong place It warms the wrong people Doesn't it follow him Follow my frozen laughter Isn't he the one My frozen laughter is following him"
But the artist, year and album is unknown. Does anyone know who this is?
resolved common scary classical tune Music
There's this common classical tune that often plays in things when it's supposed to be scary/suspenseful. It plays at the beginning of "Intergalactic" by Beastie Boys before the actual song starts, for one. What is it?
resolved ''Sounds Like a Melody'' techno cover. Music
In early 90's there was a techno cover version of Alphaville's song Sounds Like a Melody. Any idea on who performed it?

I know this song exists, but even googling the chorus or parts of it in quotes turns up nothing. I also remember a long time ago looking for it and finding a few results, one of which was the song, however I don't remember the band and suspect it's really obscure. Anyway I first heard in the 90s if that helps, and it had a female singer. Here is me singing the chorus: https://vocaroo.com/norImWkPYvS
(I remember nothing else.)
