Looking For A Song Played In Topshop A While Ago...

[lizatopaz]

hi Im hoping i can find an answer somehow, when i worked in topshop around 2004/05 they played this song which I can describe as an alternative power ballad the guys voice sounds very similar to Bono from U2 but I know its not him,they played the song 'tourist' by athlete quite alot around the same time if that helps, I only know a bit of the melody but no lyrics :( hoping somebody could put me out of my misery?? i know its a long shot !

You'll need to narrow it down with some lyrics at least to have a hope of someone working this out. Good luck.

[lizatopaz]

Thanks for your reply! One lyric i vaguely remember towards the end was something like ' free,free to run and hide' but maybe it wasnt hide as ive searched the lyrics and still no luck, im looking for this song 8 yrs now!

the automatic .. run and hide?

[Mamyalynne]

That was released 2010 Mally , so a little late for this query I fear.

[lizatopaz]

Its not that but thank you sooooo much anyway, i would say the band im looking for sounded very much like keane/U2/ maybe the verve also

This might be the longest shot yet (Because it was a 2000 release)... Glorious by Andreas Johnson

What sort of tempo was the song? I know you said alternative power ballad

I don't know if this is the one - Fall Free by Alan Parsons Project (it may be a little early) but I love this and the video is pretty good too!!

Could it be : Wherever You Will Go by The Calling?

In The Shadows by The Rasmus was an other I was thinking about.

[lizatopaz]

[lizatopaz]

Wow ive found it!!!!!!! Its were here by the guillemots! Cant believe i actually found it only took 8 years!! Thank you all so much for taking the time to help !!

[Fanriffic]

That's great that you managed to find the song lizatopaz. :)
I wouldn't have found that song in a million years - couldn't make the connection. I don't remember the song at all. Not my taste.
Bye.
