Subject: Help Me Name That Tune Posted by: Boxman - [571114225] Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 07:49 I am at my wits end with trying to find out the name of a song and I need your help. I believe this song came out in the early to mid 90's. It could be classified as a rock song, probably not alternative rock. I don't know the band name. I had this song on tape, but when I moved out of my parents years ago it didn't survive the move. Here are the song lyrics that I remember: Run away, that’s all he’s ever done Since he was a young boy, he’s been living on the run His mama passed away, his daddy drinks much Chorus: Slipping into darkness, slippin’ Johnny’s got a gun He’s got nowhere to run Slipping into darkness Nowhere left to hide from what he’s feeling deep inside | |||||||
| 1 | Great One ID: 201155199 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 09:46 | I'm usually pretty good at this but all i came up with was Slipping Into Darkness by WAR and thats not right cause the lyrics aren't nearly that developed. | ||||||
| 2 | Ref Donor ID: 539581218 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 10:44 | I've looked for a half hour. Sorry man, I can't find it anywhere. | ||||||
| 3 | Uptown Bombers Donor ID: 35616416 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 11:26 | Seems that you are not alone in trying to find this out (unless this is also a post by you). This link takes you to a thread about the song. The best guess leads to a band called Wanda Chrome and the Leather Pahroahs (???). | ||||||
| 4 | Boxman ID: 571114225 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 11:32 | No that's not me on that website. At least I'm not alone in this little adventure. | ||||||

From Uptown Bombers info: http://wandachrome.com/wandadisco.htm If you have Itunes on your comp, go to the store and do a search for the band Wanda Chrome. Their most popular song is Johnny's Got a Gun. You can double-click and listen to 30 seconds of it. | ||||||
| 6 | TB Sherpa ID: 031811922 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 13:26 |
Here is their myspace page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=39555812 They don't have that song on there, but maybe you can recognize if it's the band. A slight Ramones vibe. | ||||||
| 7 | Boxman ID: 571114225 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 15:58 | I checked out the Wanda Chrome song and that isn't it. Thanks for the suggestion though. The tone of this song really reminds me of those late 80s / early 90s hair bands like Slaughter or Skid Row with good vocals and some nice guitar work. | ||||||
| 8 | TB Sherpa ID: 031811922 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 16:17 | Funny you should say that because I had to go listen to 18 and Life by Skid Row after first reading this thread. It was the first song that popped into my head. Knowing the sound, I will look through my itunes and see what I have. Do you know for sure that it isn't a band like Skid Row or Slaughter? | ||||||
| 9 | RecycledSpinalFluid Dude ID: 204401122 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 16:52 | No help, but still a cool idea: http://FindMeATune.com | ||||||
| 10 | Uptown Bombers Donor ID: 35616416 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 17:08 | LOL, I thought it was 18 and Life at first as well, but figured that would have been easy enough to find with a search. This has been an interesting puzzle for me on an otherwise boring day. I'll keep looking for you. | ||||||
| 11 | Skidazl ID: 189142212 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 17:25 | Me too TB, first song I thought of was 18 and Life... | ||||||
| 12 | Skidazl ID: 189142212 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 17:26 | I actually saw Sebastian Bach from SkidRow a few years ago on stage as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar... | ||||||
| 13 | Boxman ID: 571114225 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 19:08 |
I will look through my itunes and see what I have. Do you know for sure that it isn't a band like Skid Row or Slaughter? I'm fairly sure it's not Skid Row or Slaughter, but the band style is similar. I did look at the iTunes store thru Skid Row and Slaughter and I didn't see anything. | ||||||

Shooting Star by Bad Company was very close... this Dark Lyrics website is a pretty good utility, just putting in some keywords and it keeps getting really close. dark Lyrics | ||||||
| 16 | Tree ID: 21029208 Sat, Apr 07, 2007, 22:23 | for whatever reason, this thread reminds me of the song "Fine, Fine Day" by Tony Carey, one of my favorite songs from the 80s that it seems no one else remembers... | ||||||
| 17 | TB Sherpa ID: 031811922 Sun, Apr 08, 2007, 00:04 |
When I saw Tree had responded to the thread, I figured he showed up and solved the mystery. I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed he didn't know. Well, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I couldn't find the song. The good news is that I cleaned up my music list on my itunes and deleted a bunch of songs I no longer listen to. =) | ||||||
| 18 | Tree ID: 582392917 Sun, Apr 08, 2007, 07:39 |
i'm going to keep looking, but this one is a doozy. i'm thinking you may have the lyrics remembered incorrectly, which is causing part of the problem...one difference in a word makes the search all that much harder (i.e. what if the original lyrics say "mother" instead of "mama"?) | ||||||
| 19 | Boxman ID: 571114225 Sun, Apr 08, 2007, 07:45 | Good point Tree. The song I'm looking for does line up with the link that Uptown provided in #3. | ||||||
| 20 | Great One ID: 201155199 Sun, Apr 08, 2007, 09:58 | Anyone know how to get in touch with Matt Pinfield? I bet he would know. I'm serious. | ||||||
| 21 | Perm Dude ID: 8344813 Sun, Apr 08, 2007, 18:51 | Can you hum it? | ||||||
| 22 | JeffG Leader ID: 01584348 Sun, Apr 08, 2007, 23:51 | Can't find anything close anywhere. You have the tune, you have the lyrics. My suggestion is you record the song and see who sues you. | ||||||
| 23 | Great One Sustainer ID: 053272014 Mon, Apr 09, 2007, 09:56 | Brilliant!!! :) | ||||||
| 24 | TB Sherpa ID: 031811922 Mon, Apr 09, 2007, 10:41 | I laughed when I read the last couple posts, but then it made me think. Why not call the local radio station and sing it to them and see if they know. Maybe they can put you on the air and people can call in with the answer. | ||||||
| 25 | Great One Sustainer ID: 053272014 Mon, Apr 09, 2007, 10:56 | I wasn't kidding about Pinfield either, if someone can track that guy down - either on a radio show or whatever, I guarantee he'd know the answer. | ||||||
| 26 | Tree ID: 29082512 Mon, Apr 09, 2007, 11:35 |
i've got the folks at my office working on it. considering we're in the music & video biz, i'm feeling like if the lyrics are even remotely accurate, we'll find it... i mean, some guy in my office was able to identify the following band...  that being said, two of the people i sent the lyrics to are 80s metal "Experts", and one is stumped. | ||||||
| 27 | Boxman ID: 251142612 Mon, Apr 09, 2007, 13:10 | Thanks guys. I really appreciate the efforts. | ||||||
| 28 | boikin ID: 59831214 Mon, Apr 09, 2007, 14:12 | there is a band for the early 90's called saints and sinners they have a song called "Slipping into darkness" but i can not find the lyrics for it. it seems that there stuff is preety rare then again maybe tree knows. | ||||||
| 29 | Mark L ID: 25155512 Tue, Apr 10, 2007, 18:22 | I Googled some of the fragments above and this thread was the #5 result. | ||||||
| 30 | Tree ID: 33381018 Tue, Apr 10, 2007, 20:19 |
my office is stumped. maybe Johnny Can't Read, from Don Henley? | ||||||
| 31 | holt ID: 50340153 Sat, Apr 28, 2007, 10:33 |
LOL who the hell is the band in that picture?! | ||||||
| 32 | Great One Sustainer ID: 053272014 Mon, Apr 30, 2007, 14:14 | I can't believe with all this talent we can't figure this out! | ||||||
| 33 | holt ID: 50340153 Fri, May 04, 2007, 09:10 | seriously, who are those dudes in that pic up above? I've shown it to some friends and nobody recognized them. | ||||||
| 34 | Tree ID: 29082512 Fri, May 04, 2007, 10:49 |
that band is Rabbit, featuring Dave Evans, the lead singer of AC/DC. another video for the song Too Much Rock and Roll... and one more, this one for Wild Fire... for sheer theatrical bare-chested metal silliness, i reccomend Wild Fire... | ||||||
| 35 | holt ID: 50340153 Sat, May 05, 2007, 08:53 |
HAHAHAHAAA - they are wearing those same clothes in the wildfire video. can't wait to show this video around. btw, they really should have had some women on the set. the guitarist seems to be a little confused there at the end. :D | ||||||
| 36 | Boxman ID: 571114225 Wed, Jul 04, 2007, 12:34 |
OK. I have another one for you guys. This one is an instrumental I believe. It starts right after Pacino is done talking around the 1 minute mark. | ||||||
| 37 | blue hen ID: 472431014 Wed, Jul 04, 2007, 14:57 |
Nice, Boxman. I don't know that actual song, but I'd love a compilation like that. I think it is some NFL Films music. Seems similar to "The Raiders" theme which I used to have as a ring tone. That's all I got. | ||||||
| 38 | Da Bomb Donor ID: 487112814 Wed, Jul 04, 2007, 15:22 | That's the theme from Requiem for a Dream. | ||||||

I've been trying to find the song Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin. I found online that it's on the Halo 2 soundtrack but when I lookup that soundtrack on BestBuy.com it isn't part of the track list. It isn't available on iTunes. What album is it on? Here is a link to the lyrics. Lyrics | ||||||
| 40 | Tree ID: 3533298 Tue, Oct 16, 2007, 09:03 |
Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin. per the All Music Guide (a really wonderful resource) - it's on: Halo 2, Vol. 1 [Original Soundtrack] and So Cold [EP] (from breaking benjamin) | ||||||
| 41 | Boxman ID: 337352111 Tue, Oct 16, 2007, 10:18 | Tree, you rock, I justed ordered the So Cold EP. Can't wait to get it. | ||||||
| 42 | Boxman ID: 337352111 Tue, Jul 08, 2008, 11:11 |
I finally found the original song that made me start this thread. It's called "Slippin' Into Darkness" by Saints & Sinners off their self titled album. I bought the album for $30 (yeah I know), but it was hard as hell to find and I needed closure on this. | ||||||
| 43 | RecycledSpinalFluid Dude ID: 204401122 Tue, Jul 08, 2008, 11:30 | boikin nailed it on post 28. | ||||||
| 44 | Kyle Donor ID: 052753312 Tue, Jul 08, 2008, 11:41 |
The link in post 3 found it about 3 months ago. I listened to the link they posted on there and it's not a bad song. | ||||||
| 45 | biliruben ID: 52561217 Thu, Jul 10, 2008, 19:31 |
 1992? Wow. I thought hair bands and drum machines were banned by the 90s. | ||||||
| 46 | TB ID: 395122110 Thu, Jul 10, 2008, 23:31 | That's cool that you finally figured it out and got some closure. The song sounds familiar now that I hear it, but so do a lot of songs from that genre. | ||||||
| 47 | Boxman ID: 571114225 Thu, Mar 05, 2009, 07:54 |
This one is probably easy for this group. What is this song in the background? The first one, not the one in the last two seconds. | ||||||
| 48 | Dr. Doom ID: 430271612 Thu, Mar 05, 2009, 09:17 | White Rabbit, Jefferson Airplane (I think) | ||||||
