duet heard a lot on magic

[Ismene]

I keep hearing a duet on Magic - by a man and woman but they never say who it is. Sometimes the woman sounds a bit like Sharleen Spiteri and the man sometimes sounds a bit like Ronan Keating. Anyone know who it is??

If it is the song I'm thinking of then it is Sharleen Spiteri with Paul Buchanan and the song is called Sleep. It's from the Texas album Red Book.
Paul is in a band named The Blue Nile.

Is it James Morrisson and Nelly Furtado 'Broken Strings'

No - sorry, I've checked these songs out and it's neither of those. I'll keep trying to find out 'cos it's really bugging me now!!

no sorry - it's non of those...would you believe I had Magic on practically all day yesterday so I could write the lyrics down and it wasn't on!! My mind has gone completely blank now I'm trying to remember the lyrics

[barney1966]

old song or new song?

ballad or upbeat?

[Ismene]

it's a new one and a ballad

[mushroom25]

I don't know the answer - but I just knew it couldn't possibly be Barney's suggestion (Snow Patrol ft Martha Wainwright).
This is because UK radio stations consider Snow Patrol's body of work to consist of just one track, and nothing else - ever.

I've just found out what it is and I can't believe it!!! It's Boyzone - 'Better' and I thought a woman sang on it but that is Steven Gatley!!!!! However I love the song and found a much better version by Tom Baxter. Thanks guys for your help - all the songs you suggested I love too. But I'm gutted that I fell in love with a Boyzone song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thankk goodness I found the one by Tom Baxter - it's great.
