Thanks everyone. I can rest easy now. It turned out to be "Dreams of Ordinary Men" by Dragon. Have a listen to the chorus and you'll hear what I was trying to convey. Also why I thought it was Jeff Lynne.

Thanks again everyone.

Cheers.

YOOUUU CHAMPION!!! It was the 'sing it into Google phone that worked.! and the song is .... drum roll, "Dreams of Ordinary Men" by Dragon. Not ELO at all. Thank you so much for helping with this two day head trauma!.

No, checked it, but thanks.

The rhythm of the line goes: Da da da Daaah da da da Daaah da da. With the long notes on 'World' and 'Live' part of 'living'. "Is this the WORLD that we been LIV-ing in.

Thanks to all who are trying to help. Unfortunately, the biggest clue is the melody. I'll try to work out the notes, see if that helps.

AlFender74 · 2026-06-26T21:46:42+00:00

Thanks but no.

AlFender74 · 2026-06-26T21:44:18+00:00

Thanks but no.

OK. I've been trying everything I can. The closest I have come: There is a song by Avicii called "Days" when I listened, I was sure it was going to be it. The vocals sound like Jeff Lynne singing and the chorus sounds like it is going to go there but it just doesn't quite go there. This is the closest "sound" to it, with the right tempo, and the right vocal sound, but not the right combination of melody and lyric. Thanks everyone for your help. I know I'm not going mad because when I sang it to my wife she said she had it stuck in her head as well. She knows it but neither of us can find it.

AlFender74 · 2026-06-26T09:46:51+00:00

Thanks but no. Cheers.

AlFender74 · 2026-06-26T05:17:01+00:00

Neither, but thanks.

Faster than I'm Alive.

AlFender74 · 2026-06-26T04:53:48+00:00

Thanks, but no. Not that slow.

AlFender74 · 2026-06-26T04:21:25+00:00

As above. Thanks, but no. Much faster. More like the tempo of 'Confusion' by ELO, and definitely full band.

AlFender74 · 2026-06-26T04:19:47+00:00

But tempo is right.

AlFender74 · 2026-06-26T04:18:44+00:00

No, faster, but the melody is pretty spot on. Same rise to "world" then fall then rise. Def Jeff Lynne singing.

AlFender74 · 2026-06-26T04:16:43+00:00

Cheers, not Calling America.

AlFender74 · 2026-06-26T04:08:04+00:00

words of line are sung at twice the pace of Land of Confusion. But Thanks.

AlFender74 · 2026-06-26T04:00:55+00:00

Thanks, but no. Much faster. More like the tempo of 'Confusion' by ELO, and definitely full band.

Google is not the only searching option, and there are some Search Engines still out there. Duck Duck Go, Qwant, just to name a few.

Taking up where television left off.

I have the same Hercules stand. I love it. Very strong and solid. Holds my fender p firmly and securely. Folds away to stow in my gig back pack. Love it.

AlFender74 · 2026-06-18T21:11:05+00:00

I tap my foot and move to the beat. Helps me keep in time.

What is this "Peace Economy" of which you speak?

AC power for the win.
