10 years ago this winter (probably even this month) a catchy little tune popped randomly into my head one day as I was walking across my elementary school campus. It was pretty well-defined, I couldn't hear the lyrics, but I could hear what the sequencer sounded like and even the inflection in the girl's vocals, so I thought that it was something I had probably heard on the radio.

I quickly became obsessed with finding it because I'd fallen in love with it and couldn't get the thing out of my head. It was frustrating because I knew exactly what the song sounded like but I couldn't pin down the lyrics, so I couldn't call up any of the radio stations and ask if anyone knew what it was.

The song became subject to expiramentation on a synth keyboard my dad got me for my birthday that year. I felt like I got the tune down pretty kosher under the circumstances, but the synthesizer the keyboard provided wasn't quite the right instrument. Of course I never showed my recorded tune to any DJ's or anything, because who could identify it from my crappy little 10-year-old recording?

Months of relentless radio-tunage and I came up empty handed. Eventually I just chalked its existence up to being from my own imagination, surmising that it was one of those tunes that just happens; you know, one of those tunes that walk into your head from out of the blue completely composed and ready for recording. (The problem being, of course, that I don't have the musical know-how to do that.)

Even to this day -last summer was the last time I believe- I've occasionally taken to some novice music program to play it out and satisfy my desire to hear it. I've always kept an ear out for it of course, just in case it wasn't a product of my imagination, but after years and years of my scathing the internet for new music and listening to thousands of songs in the genre it would have been in, you'd think it would have turned up by now. Or at least that I would have heard another song that had the same musical style and vocals that I could have traced to find the song. But not finding it all of this time just seemed to solidify that I'd made it up in my head.

Which was why my mind nearly imploded in on itself when I heard it tonight during my usual nightly music surf on Youtube. I wasn't looking for it at all, just sitting there, drawing, listening to my precious techno. I didn't think I'd ever find it, but then all of a sudden there it was. Ten years later.

It was an odd Eurodance tune from '95. Some DJ must have spun it on the radio for me to hear once. For the most part it's exactly how I remembered it, the inflection and everything. There are a few variations about it, I guess what my mind must have taken and 'improved' for itself, but nothing significant.

The lyrics are a bit corny. The synth is a bit dated. But I like that. :)

I've searched for lots of songs over the years; heard something on the radio once and then struggled to find it again, but nothing this elusive.

If anyone's interested, here is my mystery song.
