Trying to find a song

RiverSong · 08-25-2016, 09:42 PM

I hope someone on here can help me. I am trying to find a song and all I can really remember is the video for it. It's fairly old, early 80's or even late 70's.

It is mostly 1 shot of a man running in slow motion and you only see from his shoulders up. You see him go fast people and sometimes he goes out of the shot.

If anyone could please help me identify this song I would be so grateful.

Thank you!

This describes literally hundreds of videos. You're gonna need to be more specific.

Sadly that is all I can remember at the moment. I have been wracking my brain trying to thing of a tune or lyrics.

Do you know where you saw it?

I know I have seen it on You Tube years ago. And it's a fairly known song. But for the life of me I cannot remember it.

What does it sound like? Novel approach, I know. But sometimes giving people some indication of what a song sounds like can, believe it or not, give them at least a faint notion of what you're talking about.

I think its a more mellow song, not a rock song, maybe kind of folksy even. It's really driving me crazy on how I am blanking on it.

Male singer? Female singer? Instrumental?

Instrumentation? Drums? Electric guitar? Acoustic guitar? Keyboard? Strings? Horns?

Tempo? Slow? Fast? Medium?

Arrangement? Lush? Sparse? Raw? Warm? Cold?

Lyrics? Are there any? Are they they in English? French? Spanish? Japanese? Zulu? Are they sung? Spoken? Rapped?

Give us something to go on.

It's a male singer, an English song, I am from Australia so it could very well be an Australian band. I can't think of any lyrics. It was a mainstream song at the time that it was released I know that much.
