Okay, thanks for helping, Mr. DRU, but that is not it.
The Song Of Madness (as I shall now refer to it) has no harmonies that I could discern. Also, your song has chord progressions all over the place. The SOM does not. Think of like one of those bagpipe numbers that just kinda drones and the melody takes place over a single, tonic root. That's what this song was like, although it didn't have bagpipes or any other Scottish influences that I noticed. FAX |

Nope. Your song has dominant percussion (the SOM does not). Also, this has several singers. The SOM has one vocalist ... very high tenor.
After two attempts, I fear we are lost, my friends. Not even close. This song changes tempo ... the SOM does not. It's a dramatic, sort of slow ballad type of deal. The grocery store song is very unique ... the uniqueness is due to the single chord over which the entire verse takes place except for right at the end of the verse where there's a brief change then "wham!", right back to the tonic (at least, as I recall it). Also, it sounded like the verses (if that's what they were) have the same or very similar lyrics, although I couldn't make them out. FAX |

Have you considered installing Spotify on your computer and checking out albums and tracks by bands such as Muse, Coldplay and even Maroon 5/Adam Levine? That might help or lead you to the answer. Good luck! |

Hmmm. It could have been those guys ... I didn't recognize his voice, though. This might be correct, however. I need to run down their material and see if this is a possibility.
Most of their stuff (that I've heard, anyhow) has normal chord changes, though. But, this did have a kind of Coldplay feel ... in a remote, influential kind of way. The voice wasn't right, though. Do they ever switch singers? Let me google up some Coldplay stuff and check on this. EDIT: Okay. No. I just sampled about 40 Coldplay songs (man, all their stuff sound the same, doesn't it?) and it's definitely not them ... either that, or I missed one. It certainly isn't their singer dude. The SOM vocalist has a very high tenor voice ... higher than the Coldplay guy by a mile. FAX Last edited by FAX; 09-20-2012 at 12:10 PM.. |

I doubt that these guys would make a grocery store muzak reel, though. I could be wrong about that, I guess. They just seem too ... alternative. Damn. This is hard. I wish I could give you guys some better clues, but these are the only clues I got so I am, therefore, essentially clueless. FAX |

It sounds like The Shins. The way the song changes like you said make me think that. Here's a few it could be...
This is one of my favorite songs. It has a tad bit of drums but sort of fits the profile New Slang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD7qIthSdkA Turn on Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIRmyfKOAfM Simple Song - this one's the most recent http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoLTPcD1S4Q |

That's the frustrating part. One chunk of lyrics could have solved the entire problem. FAX |
