Here's a small sample of what people have said after I have located their songs:
Dan,
I only heard this song once on the radio. It was probably between Fall 1982 to 1985. I suspect closer to 1983-1984. I heard it on a Los Angeles radio station that played rock and roll. Most likely KLOS or KMET. It was during a morning radio program. The song was sung by a male vocalist. They never announced the name of the band or song.
I recall the song started fairly slowly.
Dreeeaaams
A never ending life
You know it always will
There was a tempo build up in the music for the chorus.
Oooh Oooh Oooh Ooooooh simple things
That’s all we really need
To build a world
Filled with hopes and dreams
I don't know if the words are correct. I have tried various combinations of the words in all of my searches. I must have something off. Or, it was an obscure band that did not get much play time.
I hear the song in my head all the time. I have tried to sing and hum it to many friends and music store clerks with no luck. I have used itunes to sample every possible band I could find who produced albums from the early 80's. I have pretty much resolved myself to the fact this small portion will be stuck in my head forever.
I stumbled across your site while searching for this song again. I hope you can help.

ANSWER: The Stabilizers - One Simple Thing {1986}
Oh My God! I am floored. As soon as the first notes began to play I began to shake. I knew it was the song. Then when I heard the chorus I began to cry. I just couldn't hold back. My 25 year search is over. I cannot believe it. I have never heard of this band. Unbelievable. I still have tears pouring down my face. This song has been trapped in my head forever. I just can't believe this. It is finally over. Now for my search to find the CD. Thank you so much. From the deepest part of my heart, I thank you. As soon as the song finished, I immediately went to your web page and sent you an additional $50.
You have a phenomenal talent. I found your website and read the reviews. I was fairly skeptical. I thought it might be a scam. But I had tried everything I could think of to locate this song on my own and had forever been unsuccessful. I sent you an email just to see if you would respond and you did. I decided to take a chance. I am so so relieved this search is over. Thank you...
R. P.
Dan,
YOU are a genious!!
Not many people can identify a song without hearing it, but you also did it to a song WITHOUT lyrics!!!
I can finally get a good night's sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A million thanks again Dan
Sincerely,
Jeff

Just wanted to give a great big thanks for finding my song. It took less than two hours for it to be found, and we'd been searching for 15 years. Thank you so very much!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been searching for a song for about 22 years and I never thought I'd find it. I'd even tried on another site to no avail.
Thankyou again & again...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Once again, thanks Dan.
When it comes to the 80's you're pretty savvy.

Instrumental guitar-heavy tune played on KLOS
This one has been eating away at my sanity for over a decade
OMFG you found it! Thank you! You're my musical historian hero!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I need help finding an 80's song please... thankyou
That was it!!!
I can't believe you found it!
I am so greatful, words don't do justice to how happy I am that you've helped me finally find this song.
I have not heard this song "Drumming Man" since I was about 13 way back in 1985... It's literally been over 20 years.
I'd almost given up hope in finding this song.
Thankyou so very much, you really are the best!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a song I've been looking for forever. So long, in fact, that I think it might actually be a song from the late 70's
Artist: Stingray
Song: The Man In My Shoes
That's it! Thank you, Claybricks! I really didn't think anyone would know that one. I thought it was WAY too obscure. Thanks for including the sound clip, which again confirmed that it is the right song. And thanks for finding it on eBay! Can I PayPal you a tip or something?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This thing's been drivin' me nuts for 15 years
Artist: The Darling Buds
Song: It Makes No Difference
Thank You, Thank You!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
You're a God! I cannot believe you've found those first two (I figured someone would remember "The Rain"). I have been trying to find these two for a good 15 years. Nobody I know even remembers them. Thanks so much! Now I'm really dying to hear them again!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Did anybody ever call you Dan The Man, because you are the MAN! I've been looking for that song for years!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I Bet Nobody Can Help With This...
In the early 80's I had an album (can't remember who, or what it's called) and it had a song on it that I would really love to listen to again.
(Two Men Talking Back And Forth)
"Hey watta you doin this weekend? Oh, I'm goin down to Palm Springs. Whatta you doin? I'm gonna put the television on the Microwave and watch some 'Hot T.V.'.
Then all through the chorus it keeps repeating "Daddy's Money, Daddy's Money" in sets of 2 like that. Also, this is not the country song by "Richochet" I know of that song and this ain't it.
Well there ya go, I hope someone has the answer because I have spent hours looking all over but as I said at the begining "I bet Nobody Can Help" this was a rather obscure song.
Thanks
Mark
Awesome... That's it... Offbeat and unusual but very good.
Thanks

MISHEARD LYRICS...
Looking for 80's/early 90's love ballad. i think the chorus go like this..
"when it hurts,(hurts).. it hurts sooo bad" and then the synth piano follows right after like this "laaa laaa laa laaaa laaaaaaaa" in a sort of down scale. and then the chorus repeats..
i think it is a male singer.
please please please help meeee!! kyaaaaa!!!
Artist: Gino Vanelli
Song: Hurts To Be In Love
Dan
thxs!! how did you know??!!! was it the synth part? amazing!!! thank you sooo much..no wonder i couldn't find..i was singing the wrong words of the song! thxs for the link also!! now i am going to play that song alllll day!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello. I remember a song from when I was young. It has a five-note main riff and I believe the chorus words are "Forever My Love" or "Forever Our Love". It is sung by a male and it sounds like a late 60's/early 70's flavor to it. Kind of a slower ballad-type song.
I really apologize in advance for being so sketchy. I have wracked my brain to try to remember more.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Please help me find the title and group of a song I haven't heard since 1983. I belive it was an alternative rock song. Some words of the lyrics are as follows. One part sounds like "pardon the miracle" the other parts that I do remember are "welcome to new life" "I know that your'e tired Iknow that your'e tired" I have searched the web for years. Listened to numerous songs. I can only say that it sounds like a "Peter Murphy" but as far as I know it isn't. Thanks for your help. Q
I have listened to literally 100's of songs and got close to the sound but have not found the song. I listened 80's channel on cable and flashback luches on STAR 98.7 and KROQ 106.7 and even the flashback weekends and Saturday nights. "I have not heard this song since it played on the radio in 1983".This is not that easy.Good Luck and thanks for your response so far. Q
Art In America had a song called "Art In America". The line "I Know That You're Tired" was in the song...
Original Release Date: 1983
I don't have the lyrics (will have to listen to the song) but if you change "Pardon the Miracle" to "Art In America" everything fits.
"Par-don" = "Art In",
"the Mir-a-cle" = "A-mer-i-ca"
Your lyric phrases are in the same order as these lyrics too.
Thank you "CLAYBRICKS", I have been trying to figure out the song for years. I haven't heard the song on the radio since 1983. It is amazing how the lyrics are different than they sound. Another song that was hard for me was "China" by Red Rockers. It sounds like "join Up". I only figured that one out because Richard Blade played it on a flashback weekend and said the song sounded like "join up". because of their accent.Thanks again. Q

Dan,
You never cease to amaze me! How and where did you find this info; how do you do it!? How ever you do it I really appreciate it. You are truly a locus of musical knowledge!
You should be proud, not only for your skills, but for the countless people that you've helped find songs that touched them and wouldn't allow them to forget. Enough so that they seeked to find "that song" in desperation. Thanks to you, now they have that special song (and all it represents to them) that they'll always remember...and that's so much more than 'just a song'.
Thanks again!!!.

Dan,
I've read and noticed that many people share my opinion of your skills...
you're a music master!!!
Thanks so much!!!
Rob.
Here's a small sample of what people have said after I have located their songs:
Just wanted to give a great big thanks for finding my song. It took less than two hours for it to be found, and we'd been searching for 15 years. Thank you so very much!
SW
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been searching for a song for about 22 years and I never thought I'd find it. I'd even tried on another site to no avail.
Thankyou again & again...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Once again, thanks Dan.
When it comes to the 80's you're pretty savvy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Instrumental guitar-heavy tune played on KLOS
This one has been eating away at my sanity for over a decade
OMFG you found it! Thank you! You're my musical historian hero!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I need help finding an 80's song please... thankyou
That was it!!!
I can't believe you found it!
I am so greatful, words don't do justice to how happy I am that you've helped me finally find this song.
I have not heard this song "Drumming Man" since I was about 13 way back in 1985... It's literally been over 20 years.
I'd almost given up hope in finding this song.
Thankyou so very much, you really are the best!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a song I've been looking for forever. So long, in fact, that I think it might actually be a song from the late 70's
Artist: Stingray
Song: The Man In My Shoes
That's it! Thank you, Claybricks! I really didn't think anyone would know that one. I thought it was WAY too obscure. Thanks for including the sound clip, which again confirmed that it is the right song. And thanks for finding it on eBay! Can I PayPal you a tip or something?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This thing's been drivin' me nuts for 15 years
Artist: The Darling Buds
Song: It Makes No Difference
Thank You, Thank You!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
You're a God! I cannot believe you've found those first two (I figured someone would remember "The Rain"). I have been trying to find these two for a good 15 years. Nobody I know even remembers them. Thanks so much! Now I'm really dying to hear them again!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Did anybody ever call you Dan The Man, because you are the MAN! I've been looking for that song for years!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I Bet Nobody Can Help With This...
In the early 80's I had an album (can't remember who, or what it's called) and it had a song on it that I would really love to listen to again.
(Two Men Talking Back And Forth)
"Hey watta you doin this weekend? Oh, I'm goin down to Palm Springs. Whatta you doin? I'm gonna put the television on the Microwave and watch some 'Hot T.V.'.
Then all through the chorus it keeps repeating "Daddy's Money, Daddy's Money" in sets of 2 like that. Also, this is not the country song by "Richochet" I know of that song and this ain't it.
Well there ya go, I hope someone has the answer because I have spent hours looking all over but as I said at the begining "I bet Nobody Can Help" this was a rather obscure song.
Thanks
Mark
Awesome... That's it... Offbeat and unusual but very good.
Thanks

MISHEARD LYRICS...
Looking for 80's/early 90's love ballad. i think the chorus go like this..
"when it hurts,(hurts).. it hurts sooo bad" and then the synth piano follows right after like this "laaa laaa laa laaaa laaaaaaaa" in a sort of down scale. and then the chorus repeats..
i think it is a male singer.
please please please help meeee!! kyaaaaa!!!
Artist: Gino Vanelli
Song: Hurts To Be In Love
Dan
thxs!! how did you know??!!! was it the synth part? amazing!!! thank you sooo much..no wonder i couldn't find..i was singing the wrong words of the song! thxs for the link also!! now i am going to play that song alllll day!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello. I remember a song from when I was young. It has a five-note main riff and I believe the chorus words are "Forever My Love" or "Forever Our Love". It is sung by a male and it sounds like a late 60's/early 70's flavor to it. Kind of a slower ballad-type song.
I really apologize in advance for being so sketchy. I have wracked my brain to try to remember more.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Please help me find the title and group of a song I haven't heard since 1983. I belive it was an alternative rock song. Some words of the lyrics are as follows. One part sounds like "pardon the miracle" the other parts that I do remember are "welcome to new life" "I know that your'e tired Iknow that your'e tired" I have searched the web for years. Listened to numerous songs. I can only say that it sounds like a "Peter Murphy" but as far as I know it isn't. Thanks for your help. Q
I have listened to literally 100's of songs and got close to the sound but have not found the song. I listened 80's channel on cable and flashback luches on STAR 98.7 and KROQ 106.7 and even the flashback weekends and Saturday nights. "I have not heard this song since it played on the radio in 1983".This is not that easy.Good Luck and thanks for your response so far. Q
Art In America had a song called "Art In America". The line "I Know That You're Tired" was in the song...
Original Release Date: 1983
I don't have the lyrics (will have to listen to the song) but if you change "Pardon the Miracle" to "Art In America" everything fits.
"Par-don" = "Art In",
"the Mir-a-cle" = "A-mer-i-ca"
Your lyric phrases are in the same order as these lyrics too.
Thank you "CLAYBRICKS", I have been trying to figure out the song for years. I haven't heard the song on the radio since 1983. It is amazing how the lyrics are different than they sound. Another song that was hard for me was "China" by Red Rockers. It sounds like "join Up". I only figured that one out because Richard Blade played it on a flashback weekend and said the song sounded like "join up". because of their accent.Thanks again. Q

Dan,
You never cease to amaze me! How and where did you find this info; how do you do it!? How ever you do it I really appreciate it. You are truly a locus of musical knowledge!
You should be proud, not only for your skills, but for the countless people that you've helped find songs that touched them and wouldn't allow them to forget. Enough so that they seeked to find "that song" in desperation. Thanks to you, now they have that special song (and all it represents to them) that they'll always remember...and that's so much more than 'just a song'.
Thanks again!!!.
