Help identifying some music......

I've heard this bit of music quite a few times before. I've heard it for instance on TV programmes as background music. But I think it's a 90s/early 2000s song.

It's got a violin playing (all the way through I think). It goes (don't laugh )...

(slowly) daaaa daaaa daaaa daaaa
(then faster) da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
(slowly) daaaa daaaa daaaa daaaa
(then faster) da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
(repeat)

I don't know if its got vocals or if its just an instrumental track.

You know how Bittersweet Symphony has that unforgettable, distinct violin tune? It's kind of like that, in terms of style. It's got an almost movie score type feel. Like it wouldn't be out of place on the soundtrack of some memorable, stylish film.

I looked up Bjork, Moby, movie soundtracks like The Beach, but I couldn't see anything. Unless I just missed it and it is from them or related artists/movies etc?

Any ideas.

This thread is difficult without a soundtrack! I was about to say Bittersweet Symphony before I finished reading!

If you can identify the notes, you might find the answer by googling "find a tune" where there are several sites offering you ways to trace a song

That's "Play Dead" by Bjork

Play Dead

I remember Vauxhall used it in an advert some years back

and here it is

We are not worthy.

Pretty impressive sleuthing Marko!

Thanks Lego!

You described it very well, so I recognised it immediately.

You do yourself an injustice - I find it exceptional that you could recognise a piece of music from a "da-da-da" string of text

Have another -

How about "de do do do, de da da da" without violins this time?

How many words in the title?

1 real word, 2 made up

Aren't all words made up

Sting

Daa da da dada daa.....daa da da dada da ...da da daa ...da da dadaa.

de do do do, de da da da
"is all i want to say to you"

you've put an extra da in there at the start Joe

but I guess "this is my song" from the movie Tom Thumb.

but i had lots more clues for Bjork's Play Dead.

Joe, how COULD you

It's on twice tonight!

Must be Corry!


Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa da da dada daa

I bet you were good at "Name That Tune" with Lionel Blair back in the 80's Marco?

Fair play, that wasn't even at a 1!

lol Simon got it.

but it should have been

Daa da da dada daa.....daa da da dada da ...da dada daa ...da da dadaa

Yeh loved it Dan remember watching in the late 70's with Tom O'Connor as host.
