Earworm of Most Deep Annoyance

[akirlu]

Okay, on and off the past couple of days I've been earwormed by a snippet of melody with lyrics I can't catch, by an artist I don't know, and the problem is that I actually really like it, and would like to hear the rest of the song, and I cannot reproduce enough of it to Google, and I can't even hum the melody correctly. It's. Driving. Me. Batshit. Female singer, reedy bell-like voice, and the melody is happy, almost triumphal, with a distinctive, repeating meter on the chorus. I think it must be pretty recent, pop or maybe country, and I keep thinking the final line of the chorus is something like "You come shining like the sun." But that doesn't yield anything that sounds right upon googlage. Batshit, I tell you.

Yeh, catchy as fuq. I'm sure I'll hate it from overplay in a week or so, but at the moment I'm just happy I can haz it.

Only time will tell whether it was 'helping' or 'enabling,' but for the time being I am indeed happy I can haz it, so Thank You.

I'm pretty sure I heard it playing in the coffee shop a day or two ago, so my ear was all primed!
