I would also be curious to hear how you eventually found it again!

One to start: Conquest for paradise by vangelis. Just randomly woke up one morning with the song plus title in my head

Also Conquest of Paradise for me! I had the tune randomly pop up in my head for well over a decade, probably close to two, without having any idea what it was. Every few years I tried finding out what it was, but to no avail. Online melody searches weren't that good, and when I hummed the melody to people or played it on the piano, people either had no clue or, at best, were like "that sounds familiar but I have no idea what it is". I even toyed with the idea that I had come up with the melody myself, though I did find it unlikely.

I can't describe the happiness I felt when I finally discovered the actual song when I once again tried finding it, this time by humming into Google's music search thing

Besides not finding the song, I was very sure it was played in a key scene in a weird fantasy movie/show I watched as a kid. Found the song but not the movie, yet

wasnt it the main theme of 1492?

[–] udon@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yes, but I specifically remember a scene in a mordor-like setting. A witch/queen kind of character is sitting in a carriage that is part of a longer caravan with her servants. Some dude (maybe the main character?) talks to her, tries to convince her that being good is good. But she denies, drives away with her entire caravan, end of movie.

I don't think that would happen in a movie about discovering America?

To be fair though, I was maybe ~8 at the time and might have mixed a few things together. So maybe that movie doesn't even exist
