Please, please, please, before I go out of my mind! A song plays in the airport on satellite radio (really? Is that how you spell satellite?) Stop, Twyla! Focus!
Ok...I never hear the lyrics but the music and the singer's voice are beautiful. She's British...I know that because she says "cahn't" instead of "can't". The last line is "Cahn't we start over".
I stand under a speaker when I hear the song, trying to pick up more lyrics but it's so noisy in the airport that I manage to hear only that last line.
I've looked at every song lyric site but the only results I get are Leo Sayer, the Allman Brothers, Michael Jackson, and some bands I'm too old to know.
Help!

Was ready to take up a challenge, but would need more clues. I'm not up on new music, or new Brittish music, and would have no more luck with it than you had by looking up the last line, I guess. But will keep an eye out on this post for the answer if someone has it, because it must be a nice song!The only thing I can come up with is to ask if it might be Celine Dion? -

Hey, I thought I deleted that comment! I was going un-stick my nose and not comment when I didn't know the answer, but there's the comment anyway! Sorry! -
Twylarants said on Aug 24, 2009....
Hiya, Wombie...I wish I had more clues. I know it's an impossible request but I guess I thought someone could read my mind...lol. As soon as I hear the song tomorrow I'm gonna run into the ladies room...the music is really loud in there. Maybe I'll hear more lyrics. -

Twylla...i need more lyrics....the style of the song.....something.....
You got me so curious now..... :-) -
Twylarants said on Aug 25, 2009....
Oh, Ginger...I'm sorry I did this to you! Not really...I'm happy to have another curious mind working on it...lol.
Her voice is very powerful and the song is slow and romantic, on the order of "Memories".
The last line is actually "Can't we try one more time", not "Can't we start over".
Doesn't help much, huh?
-
gingersoul said on Aug 25, 2009....
NOOOOOO!!!!.....lol.....Did you hear that dammned song again????..... -
Twylarants said on Aug 25, 2009....
No, it wasn't on the rotation today! Stupid satellite radio! I'm off Wednesday so I won't hear it again till Thursday, if it plays.
ARRGHH!!!

gingersoul said on Aug 25, 2009....
Dammed it!!!!!!
You know what i am doing right now? I am going through all the English singer with a powerful voice i can think of on YT......
I can be so competitive with myself sometimes...lol...
Don't forget...Thursday....pay attention....;-p -
Twylarants said on Aug 25, 2009....
Please find it!
I wonder if I'll even like the stupid song once I actually hear it.
No, I will, I promise!!!

hotaka said on Aug 26, 2009....
You are sure it was a woman, right? -
Twylarants said on Aug 27, 2009....
Uh huh. Unless it really was Leo Sayer..lol! -
gingersoul said on Aug 27, 2009....
It's Thursday!!! Listen to that freaking song!!.....lol....
Will be back to gather clues...;-p
Have a great day!

Twylarants said on Aug 27, 2009....
I've got a notepad and pen ready. Hope none of those pesky customers talk to me while I'm listening! -
hotaka said on Aug 27, 2009....
Leo Sayer... Leo Sayer... The jumping guy with the afro? -
gingersoul said on Aug 27, 2009....
LOL...yes...him! -
Twylarants said on Aug 27, 2009....
Ok, here's what I was able to hear today. I had to walk forevah to find a speaker in the ceiling that worked:
...someone made it disappear...
...all that we made (or make) ends in sorrow...
...all that we get we just borrow...
That's it.
-
Twylarants said on Aug 27, 2009....
Leo Sayer...didn't he grow up to be Richard Simmons?
(lol)
-
Twylarants said on Aug 27, 2009....
See? It's uncanny!
-
gingersoul said on Aug 27, 2009....
No, Leo is Richard hidden son....lol....Richard is 82 years after all...;-D
Well, lady Twylla....how in the world am i supposed to find that song?
Ok, now think ...is it a contemporary song or from the '70 or '80?
Solo, guitar, or orchestra or few instruments?

gingersoul said on Aug 27, 2009....
I beat you, MOON!!
-
Twylarants said on Aug 27, 2009....
I guess it's a current song although this particular satellite station mixes older songs in.
There's an orchestra...it's a "big" song, if you know what I mean, like a show tune.
-
gingersoul said on Aug 27, 2009....
Video and all.....lol....
-
moonriver said on Aug 27, 2009....

One More Time lyrics
Turn the light out
Suddenly your eyes are tired
Rest on the heel of your hand
Wait for the feeling to subside
And he stares and even now you want him
Even in a room this blue
Here with these words in your mouth
And that's still good enough for you
It's what you do
If all that we make here is sorrow
And all that we get we just borrow
I'll still buy, so can we try
One more time?
Nobody made us
No one dragged us kickin' here
If easy was on the cards
Then someone made it disappear
And he smiles and even now you hate him
Only now he wants you to
The liberties you take
For what he won't be giving you
That's what you do
If all that we make here is sorrow
And all that we get we just borrow
I'll still buy, so can we try
One more time, one more time?
He turns the light on
Sits down where he watches you
Tells you he couldn't sleep
He had something to share with you
That's what we do
If all that we make here is sorrow
And all that we get we just borrow
I'll still buy, so can we try
One more time, one more time?
And even the lyrics!.....;-D

moonriver said on Aug 27, 2009....
check the sequence of comments, lady.the record is very clear: i got the right answer in first.twyla wasn't asking for the video, just the singer and title.i'm first, i'm first, i'm first, you hear?considering, too, that my internet link here has turned glitchy.i win, no doubt about it. -
Twylarants said on Aug 27, 2009....
She has some voice, doesn't she? Thank you so much, Ginger and Moon. I haven't been able to get this tune out of my head since the first time I heard it and it was driving me crazy. -
Twylarants said on Aug 27, 2009....
Wow, I really don't hear well at all. I got two or three words right and I hear the song 2 or 3 times every day!
Time for Miracle Ear...huh? What? Speak up!
-
gingersoul said on Aug 27, 2009....
No way, mister....i still stand that i won...when you have to deliver you have to deliver nice..
I gave her the voice, the video and the lyrics...sorry, Moon....:-D
So glad you can sleep now, Twylla...
-
gingersoul said on Aug 27, 2009....
BUT i can be gracious and admit we indeed type the song together 11 minutes ago...
BUT i got the video and you got only the title...that's a plus, mister....lol.. -
moonriver said on Aug 27, 2009....
ok, lady, you win.it's ok for me to play second fiddle for a little while.and besides, a very important meeting is about to start, and i won't miss it for the world.so at this point, i bow out like a perfect gentleman.glad to have been of some help, ms. twyla... -
gingersoul said on Aug 27, 2009....
Ciao, Moon!...and ....no second place, a tie....:-)
-
hotaka said on Aug 28, 2009....
So... it wasn't Leo Sayer, right? -
Twylarants said on Aug 28, 2009....
No, afraid not, Hot...but thank you so much for trying.
Thanks to Wombie, too.
Learning the name and artist was almost as much fun as watching Ginger's and Moon's competition. They fight so nice...lol.

wombat said on Sep 02, 2009....
Glad the mystery is solved! I listened and liked her voice. The song sounds so European and classy! -
Twylarants said on Sep 02, 2009....
It does, doesn't it? This isn't ordinarily my type of music, usually I listen to classic rock, but there's something about the arrangement and her voice....not the words so much....yeah, very classy.
Comment on "What's the title of this song?"
