Ok, I'm not giving you much to go on here.

I hear it played all the time on a rock station, it's fairly upbeat, kinda 70s-ish.

The only line I remember is from the chorus.

We are stars
something something
something something
back to the start

I think? I really want to find out the name of the song. Youre my last hope GAF!

 

[capslock]

Probably Moby's 'We Are All Made of Stars"

 

[mattx5]

Nope, it wasn't Moby

 

[Dilbert]

Although those lyrics are WAY off...I think it's probably "The Scientist" by Coldplay.

If it's a slowish ballad with a big finish and falsetto vocals in parts...then I'm even more convinced.

 

[mattx5]

No, it's more rockish, it could definitely be from the 70's.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Scientist cover by Aimee Mann > coldplay.

 

[Dilbert]

No, it's more rockish, it could definitely be from the 70's.

I'm telling you...try out the song and see if I'm right.

 

[mattx5]

Nah, I'm a huge Coldplay fan, I've already heard 'The Scientist'

 

[MrAngryFace]

hear aimee mann's version!

 

[mattx5]

*cracks whip*

Back damn you! I will listen to it in good time, but first, there is a task at hand!

 

[mattx5]

Nobody can figure it out?

 

[=W=]

How sure are you that those are the lyrics?

 

[mattx5]

80%

...... Well, I'm pretty sure of the first line at least.

 

[Ryck]

I know what song your talking about ....however I don't know the name either ...

 

[mattx5]

Do you remember any of the lyrics?

 

[Ryck]

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Right

 

[mattx5]

D'oh. Nope, that's The Scientist by Coldplay.

The song I'm describing is more 70's ish, it could be Steve Miller for all I know, though I can't remember whether the singer was male or female (I think male though).

Edit:

Maybe the lyric isn't 'star'?

It goes:

We are something
We are something
We are something
something something
back to the start

If I have to, Ill try and tap out the tune on the piano or something and upload it.

Quick Google Search -

It's undisturbable the peace we found
In a bright blue space above the clouds
Where everything is undisturable
You don't have to say anything too loud
When all our luck runs out again
We're brought back down to solid
i would'nt say im mad about the rain
But we'll get thought it anyway
We'll get back to the start again


Chorus:

Cos we could be lifted
Lifted
Lifted
We could be lifted
From the shadow
Lifted
Oh we could be be
Lifted up today
Lifted all the way
You and i together
Baby, lifted
Lifted
Lifted
Hey ey ey

Anything?

 

[dem]

Um
The song is "Woodstock" isnt it?

 

[Myllz]

Yeah, James Taylor.

We are stardust
We are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

 

[mattx5]

Oh my god you're my saviour!

My lyrics were SO off, but holy shit, you' got it!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

*bows down*

Joni Mitchell originally wrote it right? Crosby, Stills & Nash also have a version I think.
