I need help with identifying a song that played on New Country Network between 1995 to 1996, before becoming CMT Canada. The song could be as old as 1993 because the guitar in the video is a Parker Fly, which came out in '93. All I have is a short clip of an unknown man playing guitar and a singer (who could be the same man) singing something that sounds like "when living in the world was so easy". It has been on a VHS of me as a baby because somebody probably accidentally hit record on the VCR while this tape was in there.

I have been wondering what this song was since I was a kid and 2 years ago, I started asking around online but nobody seems to have the answer. Shazam can't figure this one out, but the human mind can recognize a familiar song in 100 to 300 milliseconds. I have 2000 milliseconds. Do any of you know this song?

I did. It's the second highest upvoted post on that subreddit. www.reddit.com/r/Lostwave/comments/o5mlyn/a_song_that_ive_been_trying_to_identify_for_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

darn, I hope this gets found. I like the sound. I agree with some people on the subreddit it sounds more along the lines of Del Amitri, not a country artist. I've come across lots of music over time but don't recall this one. Though it sounds familiar in sound.

From my understanding, the company that used to be CMT is now owned by CORUS. I know it might be a long shot, but has anybody tried contacting CORUS to see if there are records going back that far?

Otherwise, I have an idea about some charts that could be checked, but I'm not sure if they go back that far, as it is over 20 years ago at this point, after all.

I believe it was owned by Rawlco Radio during that time. I will contact both Rawlco and Corus to see if any records exist of the videos that played on those channels.

I hate Corus Entertainment with a passion but if they are able and willing to help find this i might regain some respect for them lol i really want to hear this song. I went through a bunch of wiki listings of Canadian alternative artists haven't found anything close to this yet.

hmm I grew up on country, but I don't recognize the song, it sounds like he's saying "back when the world was so easy" it also sounds more popish then country but might be a band similar to Diamond Rio or Lonestar even though its neither of those. I'll hunt around and see if I can find anything. I wish you the best of luck

Good fight, good night

I hear "remember when the world was so easily...". It's definitely something about the world being easy, at least. It doesn't seem like the lyrics are online so it must be a pretty obscure song.

isnt't there a program to convert the audio of the video to a text file or something similar to get the proper lyrics?

maybe if we knew what is actually being song, it might be much easier to find the actual music video?

I'm still looking for it, unfortunately. But it's gotten a bit of attention on YouTube. Hope it gets found soon.
