I have been listening to the radio on FM late at night.  I am listening to the current genre, just to get informed!

 

I have come across a few songs that I have been able to identify, but NOT this one.  I have heard it about 3 times, and I can't locate what it might be.

 

It is current (I think) and seems to be sung by a young, black, man.  He is singing sadly about some woman who looks so much like a woman he once loved.  He is telling her he can't see her because of that.  Just too much heartbreak and has decided he cannot see her and is telling her goodbye.

 

Any ideas?

No, this doesn't sound familiar. However, whenever I like a song, but I don't know the title and artist, I try to remember the lyrics exactly. You just need a line or two. Go to your favorite search engine and put those lyrics in quotation marks. Most of the time, the whole songs lyrics with the artist's name will come up. Wish you the best in your search. I know how it is to have a song in your head, and you don't even know who sang it. Cat Very Happy

@hyacinth003  I don't know what the song is either.  What I do when I hear a song and want to know what it is, if possible I quickly go online to the radio station's website and find their playlist.  Most radio stations list the songs they play.   Some radio stations you need to do it pretty close to when they play it, other stations will have longer listings, but you need to know about what time it played.   This has been very helpful to me.

 

Yes, the other suggestion too is good - write down some lyric to search.

 

Also I believe the iPhone have a what is that song feature?  In case you have one or a friend does.  I thought I heard it has the capability anyway.

 

Good luck - hope you find the song and when you do post what it is!  This is a song you like?  Or are just curious about?

I find it sad and touching!  I guess I like it somehow.  Since I listen while in bed, I am kind of stuck.  I also am learning that many stations don't give you name and artist after playing a certain number of songs.  Listening in the middle of the night is so much different than daytime.  It's nicer!  No traffic, weather, not much talking, few commercials, etc.  This changes over at 5am.  I don't even know a lot of the stations as  I don't generally listen to them.

 

I have put everything I can remember into searches and don't come up with this song.  This woman was with other men and not him.  He loved her, she hurt him badly, so this other woman was too much a reminder of her.  So he was saying sorry, I can't be with YOU.  You look too much like her!

 

I am getting an education on what is on currently.  For good or bad!  My favorite find so far is "Levitating" by Dua Lipa.  What a fun tune - reminds me of my disco days.

@hyacinth003 , I love Levitating, it's a great tune. I also like anything by Lizzo.

Nope! Seldom listen to the radio. I prefer listening to music on my CD's, or watching concerts I recorded on AXS TV Network. Also have lots of live concerts of my favorites on Bluray DVDS.

 

Sorry!

If you know some of the lyrics....type them into GOOGLE, and they will come up with the actual song.....or at least a few choices.

I vote for this too!  If you Google it, you can see the lyrics and watch the video on YouTube.
