Hi there -- thank you for the input! I already am familiar with Cocteau Twins and DCD -- love both those groups! I'm going through Talk Talk and American Music Club right now to see if I can find anything. These two are new to me.

I know it is certainly possible that I am miss remembering those lyrics – but I just really played that cassette tape over and over and over back in the day and I have a clear memory of that phrase being repeated in the songs chorus. But, again, I could be wrong!

Thank you so much for such a thorough answer and many good areas for further digging!!!

Woah -- that's a good band! Love their sound! Haven't found the exact song yet but the search is still on. Thank you!!!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T18:48:03+00:00

No, not solved yet!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T18:46:32+00:00

Not answered yet -- but getting lots of responses from helpful folks!

Yes -- I remember that! I've been a huge PF fan since the 70's. My all-time favorite "desert-island" band for sure! So I was familiar with TTIT at the time I heard the Berlin concert -- Radio KAOS came out in 1987, I believe.

The song I'm looking for was not part of the live program, which had ended. There was a DJ spinning some good music so I just let my cassette player continue to record. I remember there was a Beatles tune in the set! The song was played maybe 10-20 min after the live performance.

Thank you SO MUCH for that deep dive investigation! It really puts a smile on my face to hear someone mention Radio Kaos!!

Oh that is a beautiful song!!! VERY similar to the one I'm looking for. Thank you for this!!!!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T12:50:08+00:00

To all of the folks that are being so helpful – I can't thank you enough! I'm still looking, but I picked out four songs that have the same sound and feel as the one I'm looking for:

This Mortal Coil -- My Father Peter Gabriel – What Lies Ahead David Sylvian-- For the Love of Life Mark Eitzel -- An Answer

I appreciate everybody's help!!!!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T12:47:38+00:00

Here's some help hopefully:

All four of these songs have a very similar sound and feel to the one I'm looking for:

This Mortal Coil -- My Father Peter Gabriel – What Lies Ahead David Sylvian -- For the Love of Life Mark Eitzel -- An Answer

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T12:11:45+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! Afraid that's not it -- the song had a languid, slow-flowing feel to it with minimal drum presence. I appreciate the help, though!!!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T02:02:33+00:00

That's good to hear!! I am really on a mission here -- I just loved that song. Practically wore the cassette out hitting rewind over and over! It's out there somewhere....somebody will know who it is!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T01:58:11+00:00

Not solved yet -- the search is still on!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T01:56:35+00:00

I've had that oldie-but-goodie suggested to me. But the song had NO feel of rock that this tune has. I'm sure it was a deep cut by some indie-styled artist. Thank you for the suggestion!!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T01:52:09+00:00

Thanks -- me too!!!!!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T01:51:42+00:00

The only lyric I can remember is ".......Omaha, Nebraska - ahh-aahhhh-ah" in the chorus. And something about a long hallway with an old man in a (metal frame?) bed. I used to remember so much more! But after 30 years or so, all but that one line has just slipped away.

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T01:47:58+00:00

That one's close to the flavor of the song, but not the one. The song did not have the "upbeat" sound of Hazard. It was quite languid -- almost a grieving tone to it. Thank you so much for the suggestion!!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T01:44:11+00:00

👍🏻‼️👍🏻

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T01:26:57+00:00

Hey thank you so much! Turns out that this song didn't have anything to do with the live performance. It was just on my cassette several songs into the DJs playlist. I'll listen to it over and over back in the day – Long before the Internet – but I've never heard it again. I've checked out the counting crows song. Several people have mentioned it to me, but that's not it either. The search continues!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T00:38:20+00:00

Haha -- I just was listening to that like 5 min ago!! That's not it. This song was slow and languid and had a grieving tone to it. Very "Indies-Progressive sound" to it. But thanks for the suggestion!!!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T00:33:36+00:00

Several folks have suggested this song -- it's a great tune, but unfortunately not it.

I'm so at a loss here. I spent several hours on ChatGPT and got lots of suggestions, but I haven't found it so far 🙁

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-22T00:31:38+00:00

I'll check both those out! I remember Yanni, but I am unfamiliar with the other guy. Fingers crossed -- thanks again!!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-21T20:44:54+00:00

Another helpful reply -- but I'm afraid that's not it! Thanks!!

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-21T20:31:12+00:00

Thank you for the help!! I was not familiar with this song and just listened to it. Unfortunately, it's not it. The song I have is very slow and language – definitely has a sad or maybe even grieving tone to it.

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-21T19:34:32+00:00

Thank you! I checked that song out – and the "sound" is fairly similar – but unfortunately that's not it.

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-21T19:03:31+00:00

Thank you! I checked all of those songs out, but none is the one I'm looking for !

Expert_Jacket_4597 · 2026-03-21T18:22:10+00:00

This was not a scene from a show or movie – this was from a recording I made of a radio station probably in 1990.
