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??

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 ?

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?

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.

Emily by Joanna Newsom

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.

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

That's not it either, but I have to say I really LOVE that song. I have a new fave! Thank you!

You're welcome. She's from Norway. Scandinavians and music, good combination

That's true! And thanks again.

I guess I'll hear this song by accident in a year or so and go 'OOOOh!!'

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.
