Can you identify this song? The music ID apps can't!

[LunarOne]

Hi folks! Some time ago I was trying to find the name of the song that could be heard in a Honda Jazz ad, and the PH collective were able to identify it as Black Cherry by Hudson Mohawke from my description alone - result!

I have a similar request, only this time I can share a video featuring the music. I've tried using music ID apps to work out what it is but I've had no success. Any ideas? Thanks for trying!

You know when you're editing video using something like VivaVideo and it gives you a whole library of 'free to use' music.... to me it sounds like one of those non specific things. Perhaps so they don't have to pay licence fees for use. Just a thought

I did consider it. But as it was the Olympic channel I was hoping it might not be a cheapy free to use track!

I would be inclined to agree with the above, it's likely to be a piece of copyright-free music. The good news is that there are channels dedicated to showcasing those songs. There's one on YouTube called 'Alrota Music' that seems to have quite a few uploads from which you might be able to hunt down the track.

Chords sound influenced by everlong by the foo fighters

I can’t say I noticed any resemblance and I’m sure the tune in the video clip came long before the Foo Fighters song.

I didn't imagine the music was of the same era as the video either, to be honest. I would suggest posting it on Reddit's /r/TipOfMyTongue subreddit as well. It's exactly the kind of place someone who would recognise it instantly would be lurking.

Reddit is exactly the corner of the internet I tend to avoid, because who knows what lurks beneath!
