What is a song you wanted to find again for a long time, but it gave you no clear clue about how to search for it? (lemmy.world)

I would also be curious to hear how you eventually found it again!

One to start: Conquest for paradise by vangelis. Just randomly woke up one morning with the song plus title in my head

Was a song I hadn't heard for well over a decade. Bought a Blu-ray player from a thrift store. Whoever got rid of it forgot to sign out of Pandora, which was pre installed on it alongside some Blockbuster program of all things. Ended up using the account because I figured nobody would care (otherwise the original account owner(s) might try to unlink the account from the device if possible) and the song randomly came on. Happened maybe almost a year ago.

It was The Middle by Jimmy Eat World.

Sometimes I randomly think of this song and then that album will be the only thing I listen to, on repeat for days. It’s just so damn good.
