You always forget the ones you love.
Woman: I only have a minute because I called a cab... but I just wanted to check with you.... I had a tape... 89/90... and it had a couple of songs on it that were hits. And I don't have the tape anymore... and I've been looking for it ever since. Those two songs were just fantastic and I really wanted them again.
Me: (after a long silence hoping there was more information). This was a tape called 89/90?
Woman: No, no, no... that was the year, I think, it CAME OUT. No, no it was an album by a group around then that had two songs on it. One was a hit right away... the other later got used somewhere for something and became really well known. But I don't think the group did very much after...
Me: There are a lot of groups this description could apply to... Hundreds, Thousands, even.
Woman: Oh, really? Oh shoot.
Me: You don't have any other information that would be helpful?
Woman: No, well, they had kind of a Celtic thing mixed with pop... and the song they had... the famous song had like a waltz or "midnight serenade" feel to it. Around 89/90 they came out.
Me: Hmmm. Maybe The Corrs, no? And you don't remember the name of either of the songs?
Woman: No, but if you said the name, of the song or the group, I'd remember it right away. My sister and I really loved those songs. She didn't have them, I had the cassette. She went up to HMV and they said they'd look into it.
Me: Well maybe they'll turn something up... but I'd need a little more to go on. If you can think of anything else come back in and we'll see what we can track down.
Woman: OK, thanks.
