Hi MacNN'ers, can you help me identify a song I just heard in the grocery store?
It struck me for its punchy staccato string arrangement, and my ears perked up... it was a jazzy-ish, dark-ish, 60's-sounding slow-tempo piece sung by a very strong female singer. The type of song that's meant to showcase a good vocalist... somewhat sparse instrumentation with embellishment by a smallish string section.
The strings were what caught my ear first, when they entered with a little burst of the same note repeated four times, "dit dit dit dit", and then went on to do it again.
I tried to remember some key lyrics so I could google the phrases, but I can't think of them now. It doesn't help that the song was kind of devoid of statistically improbable phrases.
The couplet that I tried to remember, repeated at least twice, seemed to have been the lead-in to what one might call the chorus, and it had something to do with hand-holding I believe... something like
"When I hold your hand in mine, I feel a feeling so divine"
"I feel the touch of your hand, it takes me to a distant land"
"When you put my hand in yours, I get a feeling I can't ignores"
After that couplet it seemed to go into what I thought might be a chorus, but didn't seem to have any identifiable phrases that may have been the title... but the first four words included the word "love" in them. Big help, that's like a million songs.
ARGH, it's really frustrating, because this couplet is so dang stupid and SIMPLE that I was certain I would remember it when I was in the store. Then some friends happened by and distracted me, and I think that's how I lost it.
I'm really annoyed that I forgot it and this seems so hopeless... but the last time I posted a puzzler like this on MacNN it was figured out in about three posts, so I thought I'd try here first this time.
What say you, Loungers?
