Ho hum. So I heard this song on the radio during my lunch break at work, and I'd like to hear it again simply for the sake of morbid curiosity. But I've no idea what it was called or who it was by. :blankg:

Disclaimer: the frog generally lingers a few centuries behind in music; she has no idea at all about modern music, unless it's John Williams type orchestral. It wasn't me listening to the radio, it was a colleague; radio 1 is not a frog's type of music.

The clues:
-It was on Radio 1, and I'm in England.

-It was on between 1 and 2 PM sometime last week, about Saturday, IIRC. I've been ill since then, hence both the delayed asking and the fuzzy memory. Fevers are not a frog's best friend.

-It was sung by a man. Not a very deep voice, or a very high one, or anything usefully odd.

-The only wording I could decipher sounded like "going to take this night and make it last forever" But don't trust that - I can't understand a word anyone says when singing with any degree of reliability. I searched google for those words, and the only lyrics I found which seemed right were these (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/girlsaloud/foreveranight.html). But since this is supposedly sung by Girls aloud something is not quite right. But those are maybe the right lyrics, just the wrong group. However, I've not managed to find anything about anyone doing their own version of this song. It was certainly a mushy song. Which is interesting, being as I hate mushy music, modern music, pop music, things with drums, and anything which requires me to attempt to decipher singing.

-For once it didn't sound like a load of drums falling down some steep stairs. The singer wasn't drowned out either. That's as much as I can comment on the music itself.


Good luck. :gring:

Will Young - Pop Idol has the lyrics you told about the way "gonna" instead of "going to". You may give it a try.. I didn't listen to it.

You could listen to the show again on the BBC website. Their rado player lets you listen to old shows.

What LeftEyeNine said. It's apparently a cover of an old song "Evergreen" by a certain Will Young.

edit: I checked the lyrics and it doesn't appear to be the same song.

Thanks.

I checked radio 1's website, and it looks like that particular broadcast was too long ago, something like a day too much.

Will Young. :dizzy2: Never thought I would see the day a frog looks for anything of his, but I checked the lyrics and it doesn't look like it. It has that one line, but the rest doesn't really look right. But I'll see if I can find a clip to listen to, just in case.
