Trying to find a song, know very few lyrics.

[Aldo]

I work at a craft store and I routinely hear this one song while I'm stocking. It's a song by a male singer, and since I'm working while it's playing I usually can't hear it too well. But I know one line is "You need, courage courage courage courage..." Courage is repeated for a while, I assume this is the chorus.

I've tried google but there are a lot of songs with courage in the lyrics so it's pretty difficult. Any help will be appreciate.

There's next to nothing to go on. If it's a radio station playing it, just contact the station and ask for the songs and artists playing on that day at that time.

If you have a smartphone you can try apps like Shazam which can identify songs when you play them.. work quite well.

Holy crap that is it, thank you so much!

I once started a thread where I knew there was a crunchy guitar sound, a pause followed by a drum fill, and lyrics which turned out to be wrong (I knew there was the word "crash" but I thought there was something that sound like "can you shake it"). Pretty quickly, someone figured out it was Cannonball by the Breeders.

You'd be surprised at how good people are at figuring these things out

That's awesome! Yeah I knew it wasn't a lot to go on, but I had faith.

Also, the funny thing about this is that the video Tom Hendricks posted is one that I came across that for some reason I was convinced couldn't be it. Oh well, in the future I'll know better than to assume.

Okay, how's this: I've been trying to recall an '80s song I heard on the radio a few weeks ago. I know I'd heard it before, but I can't recall what it was. I think it was by Sting or The Police, and had the word "rain" at the end of a line of a verse, but not very prominently. It also had a mellow vibe, like Peter Gabriel's "Red Rain" (but it wasn't that). I've tried googling "Sting rain lyrics", but keep getting hits to a few songs it definitely wasn't, with "rain" in their titles.

Soooo... halp, anyone?

The first thing that popped into my head was King of Pain.

I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign,
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain...

"Shadows in the Rain"? It was a kind of slow-tempo, moody song on the Police's Zenyatta Mondatta album. Sting also recorded it on his first solo album, more up-tempo and jazzy.

ETA: Never mind, you said it wasn't in the title.

@Locutus: That must be it... thanks.
