Song identification thread

[santaandy]

So, there's always songs I am wondering what the title and artist are. Thought I'd start a thread where we can get answers. Doing this for songs as everyone here seems not only musically inclined, but musically diverse.

First question: Looking for A&T of a song with the chorus of "oh it takes me back, the letters that she wrote" or something like that. Singer sounds possibly Irish or Scottish. Believe I was watching the O.C. when I heard it, season 1 or 2 if that helps. It sounds kind of like the Dropkick Murphys (bunch of guys in a bar-song-like chorus, light electric guitar, happy beat).

Can you help? I will try the suggestions on Rhapsody to see if it matches up.

Thanks!

OK, since you started this thread, I guess I'll throw my own question in here (sorry, haven't a clue what song you are referring to).

Mine's a bit different. I know the group, I have checked their discography and have virtually all their songs, but I had a tape from a friend that had this one song that for the life of me I cannot find.

The group is Einsturzende Neubauten. The song says something like "Klescht" several times. That's all the information I can provide short of making a recording of myself singing the tune.

Anyone? Anyone?

The only einsturzende neubauten song i actually know is called Piconose, or something like that, it consists of one phrase, repeated over and over again. it translates to "Just as a reminder, marzipan, bitter almonds and school glue".

Okay, the song title is:

Over the Hills and Far Away

Prolly the original by Gary Moore version (doubt it was Nightwish)

Over the Hills and Far Away

No, it's not that one. Edited chorus in OP to increase help. Thanks though.
