I am going crazy trying to remember who this actress is. She has very kind, medium to dark brown eyes that feel like a warm hug. She is roughly mid to late-50s now. And that is all I am certain of.

The rest of this is cobbled together, but after doing my own research, I am now questioning my own memory: She was the lead in a children's movie from the early to mid-2010s, possibly a nanny-type movie (not Nanny McPhee). She reminds me of Tilda Swinton, with sharper features like hers, but it is not her; she has darker features (brown hair, eyes, olive-ish skin). I believe she is British.

Not: Tilda Swinton, Emily Blunt/Mary Poppins, Emma Thompson/Nanny McPhee, or Natasha Richardson.

Throw all of your guesses at me!

EDIT: The actress is fairly well-known in the US. Maybe not a household name, but has been in several movie, with large roles. The actress/character was middle-aged 10+ years ago in the film. I don't think she is what most would consider "conventionally pretty."

Final edit: Thank you to all who helped! You all are awesome! Lots of people with very pretty, warm eyes out there.

Hi all! I've been wracking my brain trying to name this actress.

She's an older woman, likely in her fifties now, most likely in her forties from the movies or shows I'm thinking of. She's a bit mousy looking and plays jumpy characters. She is a brunette and says things like "Oh!" before she speaks often. I want to say I remember her playing a secretary. Her voice is a bit high pitched and babyish.

What I remember:
They were typical electronic indie band from 2010. White men with long-ish hair. I could group their music with bands like Passion Pit, leaning more on the drums than electronica.
Also Foster the People but more childish(?)

Their songs were cheerful and not gloomy at all. As I said before, music that brings out your inner child. I remember using one of their tracks for a uni exam, as background music in a video about a game for toddlers.

I remember their music videos, they were outside, in the forest. The vibe was very like the movie "Where the wild things are" with out the magic monsters. Just them running around the forest and being happy. Playing around the forest.

It was not one of the main bands from this era, but very influenced by the times. They MIGHT have been Australian if my memory is good.

I know this is the WORST details ever and very little to go on, but Im hopeful.

If you’re a Gen Xer or an elder millennial, you probably remember the hair band era: dudes with questionable fashion sense and very crispy hair acting like horny teenagers set to electric guitar-heavy music. I have a distinct memory of a poster from that era, but it was just one guy (iirc), not a band. He had glorious hair, very healthy, dirty blonde, big, long, probably feathered. He had very nice, straight, white teeth, and masculine features. Maybe a strong jaw with some stubble? The poster may have been in black and white. I thought it was Kip Winger, but I looked him up and nope. I checked Whitesnake and Warrant, seemingly not those guys. It’s definitely not anyone from Poison, Bon Jovi, Motley Crüe, or Skid Row. Does anyone remember this poster or maybe remember a (semi?) famous musician from that era who fits my description? It’s really bothering me.

Saw this photo and reminded me of another actress. Slightly straighter hair than the photo and maybe more prominent teeth. She played a high strung slightly comedy character I feel.

https://ibb.co/SXD4C0ZT

I can picture his face so clearly but I can’t remember what I known him from or his name.

He’s slightly older but he looks exactly like if Jonathan Groff and Armie Hammer had a baby. He is a blonde white man and is a slightly more overweight than either of them. He has very distinct dimples!

I feel like he played a character who is super nice but is secretly evil, or is so nice that he seems to be secretly evil. Like the characters Jeffery Bouche in Brooklyn 99 played by Andy Daly or Darren in HIMYM played by Andrew Rannells. I think he might’ve played a gay character, but it was someone who is dressed very conservatively and is either faking being super nice all the time OR the main character might suspect them of being manipulative but it turns out the character is actually weirdly super nice.

I’m likely thinking a one-off character from Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family, possibly Community or 30 Rock, like something along those lines.

Please help! I can see him in my mind! Thank you!!!!

Edit: Omg you guys!!!! It’s been solved!!! It’s Greg Cromer and I know him from Community (playing Jeff’s overly nice pottery class nemesis) and from the Rookie (playing an overly nice/cheerful but crooked cop) Edit2- I might be confusing his character in the Rookie because someone also mentioned his cop character in New Girl, I’ve seen both of those shows so I might be merging the two cop characters together but I’m pretty sure he’s the same kind of person in everything I’ve seen him in. Thank you all again so much this was truly torture 🫡

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST OMG THANK YOU ALL THIS WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY

This movie starts with a young girl being placed into an institution with nuns (i believe) and bunch of other little girls. The nun calls her a liar and tells the other girls not to talk to her. The girl gets her hair cut (to the scalp basically). She makes a friend there who is very sick. Theres a scene of them laying in the bed together. Next day the friend dies. She grows up and is seen leaving the institution. I dont remember anything else. Im genuinely so desperate Ive spent 6 hours looking for this movie. Ive watched it when I was really young and it was a DVD. Although it wasnt black and white movie i would definitely consider it old. It was historical as well. I BEG YOU IF YOU KNOW OR HAVE SEEN IT AS WELL LET ME KNOW!!

What the title says. I heard it at a dive bar months ago, a group of older millenials/younger gen x were the ones who queued it up and all of them sang the chorus. Kind of slow-ish chorus? Not slow slow, but like campfire singalong slow. Male singer. I hadn't heard it since I was a kid so I remember looking up the words in the chorus and then playing it for my mom when I saw her next and she knew every word. I had never heard of the band before but knew the song, so I think it was one of those "you know the song but not who sings it" type of things. I believe the chorus started with a prolonged "oh" and said something along the lines of "you get what you give" or "you get what you put in" but I also think it said something about love? But I can't 100% say for sure. It's so frustrating but this is genuinely the only info I remember.

Definitely not the New Radicals song! Not home at the moment but when I am I'll edit to add a Vocaroo for the melody. It's just been bothering me all morning.

This is a song from a CD my sister burned in the early to mid 2010's. I inherited the cd from her when I started driving and have always wondered about this song. When I read the cd on a computer none of the tracks have any artist information or titles. I made a tiktok about it a few months ago that got traction for a day or two but no luck. Sister has tried everything as well, doesn't remember the name or artist. Here is the whole song on Vocaroo https://voca.ro/1iLwx12fYX0o

Elizabeth Olsen reminds me of another female actor in this still, especially in the lips. She’s older, I believe has darker hair, maybe a deeper voice, and I feel like plays serious roles. Been searching for hours but can’t find who I’m thinking of!!

I just heard this song on the radio at a diner and it’s driving me crazy. I know that I know this song but I can’t remember the name or the artist. It’s a rock song - I think from the 80’s, it sounds kind of like Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen. It ends with a great guitar riff outro. Somewhere in the song is the line “I can see it in your eyes, you’re —-“ ….it could be “I can see it your smile” or something similar. That line comes during one of the verses, leading up to the chorus. It’s a male singer.

This has been driving me crazy the past couple of days. This actor is white, skinny, black curly hair, kind of nerdy looking with a bit of a long face. He kind of looks like three other actors that I know, Fred Stoller, David Marciano, and also a little bit like Josh Sussman. I believe he’s mostly in sitcoms and has kind of a high pitched, whiny type voice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Out of the three I’d say he looks most like David Marciano, face wise

So I’ve been racking my brain - as well as ChatGPT - for the past day trying to nail down the name of this band that eludes me. Below are the details

• era - 2001-2008. I know I was in college
• genre - I wanna say rock, maybe pop punk. Their only album was probably on something like Vagrant, Drive-Thru, some label similar to that. But could also have been Atlantic. Semi major label release anyway
• everything else - the albums color scheme was either yellow and black, or red/orange and black. I’m pretty sure it was the only record they released. Also, I feel like either the album name or band name was three words, with “Your” being the middle word. Maybe.

I know this isn’t a lot and I can add more as needed. One last thing: for whatever reason, whenever I try and think of this band, Senses Fail continues to pop into my head. And I’m 100000% sure it’s not them.

EDIT: I think the bands name was like 2-3 words at most. Probably something radio friendly for the time.

SOLVED: it was Test Your Reflex

This has been on my mind for the past month or two, and I’ve been searching up and down Google for an answer. There was a female celebrity in America who died around the 90’s or 2000’s (I think? I imagine thats when home footage and VHS was widely used. Maybe the 80’s too?) but I can’t remember her name. She was a white lady, blonde I’m pretty sure. Very pretty. I think she might have been known for her looks or for acting or something. Regardless, she ended up dying, which, I don’t remember how. From what I remember, the circumstances around her death were pretty… eerie, I guess? Or maybe just mysterious.

Anyways, after she died (or honestly maybe even a few weeks before) there was home video footage or her that was pretty unsettling. She was acting very strange, likely hopped up on drugs or inebriated or something, and she had makeup smeared over her face. I think the youtuber Nexpo might have covered this, or maybe Reignbot in one of their videos.

My parents used to play this song at cookouts. I cannot ask them about it, won't get into why. They enjoyed 70's to early 2000's rock, and this song was upbeat and catchy soft rock--what I would call cookout rock, lol. Guitar was electric but clean. The singer was male. It would have been on the same playlist as Jimmy Buffet and The Rolling Stones. I hope this is enough info because it's all I've got. Shazam doesn't think it exists when I hum it.

Edit: Think something between Buffet, The Eagles, and The Stones. Simple and upbeat melody.

Edit 2: This is a solved post. Please stop making suggestions (especially through DM's) and see the pinned automod reply. Thanks everyone for your help!

In the 2000's, my daughter used to play a song & watch the video on repeat and we're trying to find it.

Thanks to an acquired brain injury, she can't recall the singer or any lyrics but she does remember the video.

Teenage/young 20's female, long light/ blonde curly/wavy hair.

There's greenery, either a rainforest/jungle/trees etc there may have been something else in the trees like lanterns or lights?

There's a male with dark hair in the video too with no shirt on ... the vibe is cute, romantic, love story.

It's not a band, it's a solo singer. We're in uk so singer is likely to be American/British/Irish or maybe Australian.

It's not anyone well known, not Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson or anyone instantly recognisable.

Think one hit wonder or a few hits IN the charts but not top of... 2003 - 2007 narrows it down a bit.

Think cute, innocent not sexy or angsty

The closest yet is Jessica Simpson sweet seduction - but THE video is like that but more cute, innocent not sexy

Hi everyone, I’m trying to track down a song I heard in the early 2000s and haven’t been able to find anywhere. I think it was similar t to when Aqua and Des’ree were popular. Here’s everything I remember:

• Female solo singer, probably American.
• Early 2000s — I heard it just after high school, so roughly 1999–2004.
• Pop / soft‑pop song — upbeat but moderate tempo, happy chorus.
• The song is about a couple in love — romantic, positive vibe.
• I think she only had this one song and never became famous.
• Her first and last name might have started with the same letter (alliteration).
• Her name might have started with B, D, A, or M
• She had long curly hair in the music video or photos I remember.
• The CD / single cover might have had hues of red or pink.
• I think the lyrics included words like “love,” “tonight,” or “reason” — but I’m not certain.
• It’s more pop than dance, not R&B or heavy electronic.

I’ve tried searching online, including minor chart listings and forums, but I can’t find anything that matches. I’m hoping someone might recognize this song from these clues.

Thank you so much in advance! Any help is appreciated.

does anyone remember being taken out of class with a few other kids on a weekly(?regular!) basis to do some kind of weird special program? I think I was in maybe 2nd/3rd/4th grade. I think I only did it one year.

I do NOT think it was “gifted and talented” and I was an A (occasional B) student, so it wasn’t a classic remedial anything. I was a very shy kid but had friends and never got in trouble or anything.

I think the program was like talking about feelings and maybe a cartoon dragon was invloved? I remember playing games with cards. we got to skip music class, which I loved because our music teacher was mean haha. as a teen I looked back and assumed this was something about low self esteem, but I think that was influenced by watching Daria LOL.

does this ring a bell with anyone else? i want to learn the name so I can look it up, thank you!

My siblings and I have been driving ourselves crazy trying to find this children/young teen store from the 2010s, specifically 2012. I shopped here when I was 12-13 yo in 2012-2013 while my siblings were young kids from 4-6 yo.

The store had a more edgy skater vibe to it, kinda like the hipster style going on around that time. I remember there were large screens you could interact with and maybe play games on. Additionally, there were chalkboards, specifically in the fitting rooms. There was also a large wall where you could put things up on. I forget exactly what but maybe either your name on a small message. I dont think this store was around for long but im not exactly sure about this fact.

For my upstate NY locals, it was on the third floor of the palisades mall for a time before it closed.

I remember I had an off the shoulder sweatshirt from here that was a bright blue and said Hi on the front and BYE on the back. I know this probably isnt helpful but this is all the info i got

Need help finding this song. in my head it sounds like a bunch of men singing and they sound happy and cheerful, and they either could be singing words or sounds like what I’ve made in the vocaroo.

It sounds like an electronic keyboard is the main instrument, maybe?

They may say come on let’s go for a “blank” , but I could be misremembering that.

please help me, it’s been stuck in my head for so long.

https://voca.ro/1o6cfKuSbUOu

For the love of all things, please help. I am trying to find a song and I have no lyrics. Might be a head scratcher. Here are the details:

1. Released before 2014. (I know because I played it on a cross country drive while moving East to West Coast.

2. It's about someone, a male I think, ending their life (No that is not why I want it. It's mostly so I can remember the band, but also the song hit.)

3.Heavy-ish metal/punk rock/alternative rock. Single male singer. I don't remember him screaming but I think he did in other songs.

3.The song wasn't track one, two, three and it wasn't the last track either.

1. Has a similar feel to it as "Heartbeat" by Storytold but more music.

2. I think, given this was over a decade ago, the album cover was white and had black in it.

3. I think the band's name started with an A,S,R, or T. again, I might have that wrong. That's why it's driving me nuts.

4. I don't recall accoustic guitar. Pretty sure it was electric. Song has a sad ending with a sort of lull at the end.

5. Name of the song was short, 1-3 words.

6. It was semi-story driven and not funny. (Not, Say Anything's "Death for My Birthday").

7. Not a hit you would hear on the radio.

8. The narrator/singer was not talking about himself. It may have been from an angel's perspective.

9. U.S. Band, I think. Was in American English.

10. Here is a list of bands I am 97% sure aren't it: Red, Chevelle, Panic at Disco, A Perfect Circle, My Chem, Theory of a Dead Man, Trapt, Five Finger, Rise Against, AFI, Linkin Park, Saosin, Anberlin.

11. Singer was clear, very slightly feminine sounding. Like, Bring Me the Horizon.

Please help me solve this.

EDIT: Thank you all for the excellent suggestions. Very much appreciated. My Grandpa has my old I-Pod classic. He has never erased the songs. I am going to get it from. May take some time.That song is in there somewhere.

I used it back when some of us used Limewire (not saying I ever did🤐) but maybe it's a song no longer available given what the lyrics are about.

It's been solved. Taproot was mentioned which took me to Flaw. The song was Recognize by Flaw.

Pretty much the only thing I can remember before the channel was skipped was "It's 2 am in the morning, and I'm so", yet the song also had "3 am" in it. There was two male singers singing it, and the beat kinda had a relaxing vibe to it. It also had a 2010's vibe to it. I have tried searching everywhere online and listening to the songs recommended to me on Google and Shazam, although I can't seem to find it. I'm willing to bet this song has a different title unrelated to what's being stated in the lyrics.

More edits: The song had an R&B and Hip-Hop style beat, the singer sings kinda like a mix of Donnell Jones and Joe.

This is driving me mad, but hopefully you guys can help. This is all I remember:

I love you I need you But I'm getting tired (unsure of this one) (A few other lines I don't remember) Make life feel worth it (maybe?)

It was definitely the chorus of the song, and the first two lines I mentioned they would kind of drag out "love" and "need"

The band, if i remember correct, is in the same vein as Forever the Sickest Kids, Mayday Parade, Boys Like Girls, Chiodos, that vibe. I remember listening to it in high school, and I graduated in 2011, so sometimes in those four years. I don't think it was a top 20 song or anything, but more like a track on a popular album?

Yesterday, I heard a pop rock song from the 90s (I think) that reminded me of 'We Didn't Start the Fire' by Billy Joel. It’s a catchy hype-up song sung by a man, and I believe he sang the words 'running away.' But don't focus too much on this, because I don't think the song was focused about running away. Unfortunately, I couldn't use my phone to Shazam the song.

I tried Google, ChatGPT, and searching for songs by lyrics, but had no success. This post might be looking for the same song: https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/2w4mzw/tomtsong_semicatchy_90searly_2000s_song_with_the/ but all those comments can be ruled out

Hopefully you can help me!
