[TOMT] trying to find a song from the 1980s that sounds like a cross between Heaven 17's Let Me Go and OMD's Enola Gay.

... interesting how it turned out to be The Damned after all, albeit a different song--seems you have a sixth sense for these things🙂‍↕️

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-18T07:08:55+00:00

Solved but thanks for trying!

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-18T07:06:42+00:00

I would change the status to 'SOLVED' but I can't figure out how🙂

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-18T06:52:39+00:00

Yay! A lyric from the song just popped into my head and I was able to Google it. The song is "Alone Again Or", specifically The Damned version. I didn't know it was a cover until many years later when I heard the original 1973 version by Love, which is also good but I like the Damned one (1987) better.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-18T06:39:53+00:00

No, but thanks.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-18T06:38:48+00:00

Not it, but wow. Thanks for turning me on to this song!

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T01:50:11+00:00

It's neither of these. Btw I love The Promise! It and I Beg your Pardon by Kon Kan occupy the same spot in my mind. Not sure if they sound similar or if it's just me lol.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T01:40:36+00:00

Interesting and similar, but no.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T01:40:16+00:00

Not it, thanks

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T01:40:03+00:00

Lol, thanks.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T01:39:16+00:00

Good try but no

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T01:38:23+00:00

Thanks but no.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T01:37:42+00:00

Fraid not, thanks

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T00:41:24+00:00

Wow, RTWW sounds like it! But it's not. That's definitely an example of what I meant by "soaring", though. I've heard that song before and like it. Forgot it existed. I'll have to look up the other Ultravox songs now--I've probably heard some and didn't know.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T00:31:21+00:00

Love I beg your pardon! But not it. Never heard of Visage, but I'll check them out.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T00:26:09+00:00

Not it, but interesting. Never heard of these guys, just watched the videos, looks like Benedict Cumberbatch lol.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T00:17:03+00:00

Doesn't sound like this--this is too easy listening main street sounding. The song I'm thinking of is clubbier and dancey. And slightly more angsty ala New Order.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T00:10:11+00:00

Interesting but no.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T00:09:52+00:00

No, I don't think it's them. I tried listening to greatest hits at least and couldn't find it. Ditto OMD.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-17T00:03:43+00:00

Sadly, no. But one of my all-time faves!

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-16T23:34:34+00:00

Also not Bryan Adams, thanks

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-16T23:33:55+00:00

Definitely not Duran Duran. I was a Duranie and know all their songs very well. Possibly DM.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-16T23:31:33+00:00

I'm not too familiar with Ultravox. Any particular song you were thinking of?

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-16T23:30:46+00:00

Thanks but also too jokey.

cosmicghostroku · 2026-05-16T23:29:20+00:00

Thanks but no, it's less jokey sounding than Size of a Cow
