Help please! I Need to find a song!
I suddenly remembered there was a song I used to love some years ago; but I can't for the life of me remember a word of it.
I know it was a female; and I can't help but feel there's a connection to Lilly Allen somehow.
The song was about a girl, possibly the singers sister who changed a lot and she couldn't recognize her anymore.
I know I will remember it once I hear it. Can anyone help at all??

Re: Help please! I Need to find a song!
Okay, I've made a tiny bit of headway. I am almost sure the title is a woman's name and was repeated a lot in the song...

Hm... Lilly Allen? No idea.
Kate Nash - Mariella ?

Re: Help please! I Need to find a song!
I've had a look through Lily Allen's songs on ITunes - she did Alfie, about her Brother, but I can't see anything with a girl's name in the title?

Re: Help please! I Need to find a song!
So have I, it's not Lily Allen I've deduced... I think the artist was only known for that song though... and sadly it's not Mariella!
I'm starting to think the name was Chloe... just a hunch

This is a long shot because it's nowhere near Lilly Allen, but it's what came to mind.

Re: Help please! I Need to find a song!
Sadly not it either, beautiful song though!
Ugh, I have near perfect visual memory so this is really getting on my nerves!
I remember something along the lines of a lyric like "Do they know what you do at night?" It's a bit of sarcastic song about the sister making some bad choices

You know, when you stop trying to recall what it is, you will probably suddenly remember it.

Re: Help please! I Need to find a song!
Is it "Viktoria" by Maria Mena by any chance? But it's not about sister of the singer 
It's so annoying when something like that happens, you can't get it out of your head, fortunately I usually remember parts of the lyrics

Re: Help please! I Need to find a song!
That's true! And thanks again.
I guess I'll hear this song by accident in a year or so and go 'OOOOh!!'

Re: Help please! I Need to find a song!
Oh I hope so 
Sometime around 2010 I fell in love with the song "I heard wonders" by David Holmes and forgot about it until I heard it during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in London. 
So it can happen.
