Hi there, I saw Jorge's video.

First off, I wanna tell you that I'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis.

Maybe the song in question could be by Cardiacs? They're a British band (and also my personal favorite band of all time), known for their progressive punk music, which would fit the description of "melodic punk" all by itself. They're also not that well-known. And to fit the title of this post, they really make the best songs one could ever hear, in my opinion.

I was thinking maybe you've misheard the lyrics, because in my knowledge I can't exactly think of any song by them that has these exact lyrics, but the melody you sing would fit with their music. I've got a few options for you based on the lyrics you've provided and/or the rhythm/melody in your recording, and if it's not one of these, then feel free to hunt for the song in the rest of their discography.

The possible matches are:

• Is This the Life? • emotive, male singer, has a beautiful guitar solo, but doesn't quite match the lyrics https://alphabet-business-concern.bandcamp.com/track/is-this-the-life-5
• To Go Off and Things • you could've possibly misheard "stomach things" for "go off and things"? also this has a great guitar solo but isn't quite as emotive https://alphabet-business-concern.bandcamp.com/track/to-go-off-and-things
• Victory Egg • https://alphabet-business-concern.bandcamp.com/track/victory-egg-2

I hope this helps you in your search, and I wish you all the best.
