Song I heard in a dream

[jdmasta289]

OK, forgive me if this isn't the correct forum in which to place this topic, but I've spent literally the last hour trying to find a song that played vividly in a dream I had last night.

Amazingly, I was able to remember much of the song immediately after I woke up (basically when I was in that ambiguous phase between being asleep and awake) but now I can't remember it at all. Seriously. I'll describe the song as follows:

It sounds like a mid-to-late 1990s alternative/pop-rock song. It really has a somber and slow tone throughout. It isn't a hard rock song with loud, distorted guitars. The words "Jesus Christ" (I think) are muttered really fast in the verses and the chorus consists entirely of humming. Or "ahhh's" or "ooohh's." It's an excellent song. As I was dreaming about this song, I remember distinctly looking over to my right and seeing a magazine with Shinedown on the cover. That might be completely random or it might bear some significance....I'm not really sure. The song didn't particularly sound like Shinedown, though. Certainly the vocals weren't as forceful and it sounded much mellower than a typically anthemic and epic Shinedown song.

Any help would be appreciated, because I have dug through Duckhead's archives and I cannot find this song. It's killing me.

(*Edit* It wasn't "Jesus Christ" by Brand New, of course. The words "Jesus Christ" are muttered in the middle of the verses stanzas rather than the beginning).

It could be a song you made up. I've done that once or twice.

Alternately, it could be "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" by the Crash Test Dummies... but that song doesn't appear to have "Jesus Christ" in its lyrics.

^It's ironic, because I spent the entire day yesterday and could not get that song out of my head.

However, that wasn't it. It sounded even slower-paced than that song, although similar in terms of its somberness. It sounded similar to that era, though. Bands like Toad The Wet Sprocket and Goo Goo Dolls come to mind.

I remember vividly hearing a song where the only word I remember is "crazy" in the chorus repeated and it sounded like a carnival tune, and it was part of a video that was half 2D animation and half a Pillsbury Doughboy running around a real life scene, but I've also never been able to find out anything about it since from anyone, so I'm convinced now I must have dreamt it.

Pen? Crazy....and carnival music. That wasn't a dream, that was the year or two you spent in an insane asylum

I'm not sure how you get slower paced than Mmmm mmm mmm, lol

By the way, you should try to "write" the song, if its really good and it was just a song in a dream, maybe you can make some money from it!

I can't solve the questionable songs above, but my friend told me about a week ago that he was listening to my local Alternative station and heard a song that he claims had a sort of indie beat to it (take that indie with a grain of salt though) and said that they kept repeating in the chorus something about "jacking off" or to "jack it." After laughing at that, I went through their playlist and could not figure out anything close to what it was or possibly it could be an older song that they rarely play.

he was probably listening to 1901 and thought "fold it" was "jack it" lol

Now that I think about it, I really think it's "Jesus" by Brand New. I distinctly remember falling asleep immediately after I sang it. It is reminiscent of my description....contains the "ahhhh-ahhhh" sounding "I" in the refrain. "Jesus Christ" is muttered in the verses. It has a somber tone throughout.

That's, like, what? 2007? Sorry for the letdown and time confusion. I really do believe it's that song.

That was actually my first guess because it matched the description as far as the "indieness," so I played the song for him and he said that wasn't it. One day it will be solved. Probably whenever he hears it again.

I never left. You all are just figments of my imagination.
