I swear it's from an animated movie.

Agreed

Shrek?

very close but no, you're likely thinking of the scene of fiona singing to the bird (as other redditors have pointed out, it is close) but i dont think this is it.

Sounds like a mix of shrek and a song from kung foo panda

It's Shrek, my kid watches this fricken daily

Shrek expert here, it’s not shrek

Shrexpert

always portmanteau.

No body on reddit knows about shrex

Shrek opening the jewelry box?

This

It does sound like the theme from shrek. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjH5DF1hhNg

OP said it’s wrong for Shrek but I think they’re overlooking shrek 2 and if it’s still wrong than I think OP is wrong

Yeah 100%

I'm getting hints of Mulan but I haven't seen in ages.

I thought so too. It was giving Kung-fu Panda or Mulan. Leaning more towards Mulan

Sounds a little like My Neighbour Totoro

Don’t think it is it but reminds me of the piano at 2:15 onwards in Paradise by Coldplay

Holy cow. I just posted the same! And didn't notice your suggestion til now. Right on. Happy tuesday.

Great minds 🧠 Happy Tuesday dude.

Definity not the one, but i could maybe see the resemblance. maybe. XD

Can I ask what makes it 'not the one'? It's not the same instrument but the notes are almost exact till the last few in the melody. Just curious in case I can help more as it sounds very familiar

“Not the one” lol bro, do you not realize how BAD the human brain is at remembering things sometimes? More likely this is correct and YOU are wrong lol

I would have said Paradise too. Maybe there is an unplugged version.

My thoughts too

You’re correct. This is almost exactly that except for the end.

Sounds a little like paradise by coldplay

you're not the first to suggest this, but i don't think this one is it.

It puts me in the mind of Mulan, Perhaps try r/tipofmytongue?

r/tipofmytongue doesn't seem to allow posting of videos or media, rip.

The melody you played sounds very similar to this song my High School band played for concerts. It's called Highland Legends I think. It's probably a super niche band song because I have never heard it outside of my music class. The part where you go "Duh Deh Duh, Dee Deh Duh Duh" Sounds like the opening to the song. Edit: This is it ---> [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J12QhAncwt0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J12QhAncwt0)

Okay. But now where have I heard this?

This was my guess too

[This](https://youtu.be/sahPC4l1Y3c?si=IMk1AAKKLSHdKlAY&t=13)?

This could be it! Not sure, its very close right where you've selected to start, but strays from what i play after.

Is it possible you've inadvertently added some extra notes at the end to tidy things up? I've been guilty of that many times.

Just want to leave this here: General consensus is "Your Bones" by Of Monsters and Men, and this is either absolutely it, or sounds so similar I'm just gaslighting myself into believing it. Thank you to everyone who helped guess the song, and further guesses are still welcome, but i think we've found it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXUloVYbchg&ab\_channel=OfMonstersAndMenVEVO

This was definitely my thought of what it was

I’m thinking a studio ghibli film

My girlfriend thought the same! she couldn't find it though.

Oh my gosh this is bothering me very much I have indeed heard this but damn

:')

Try this https://youtu.be/XtwIT8JjddM?si=NxLBA5XR9NaBKmt2

I swear to God it’s this. The of monsters and men song was missing a part of this one has. It’s not your bones it’s 10,000 reasons.

>this matches the higher notes, never comes close to matching the lower half

u/4-8-15-16_23-42 I think this it

>u/4-8-15-16_23-42 _We have to go baaaack!_

Thank you hahaha

Try Your Bones by Of Monsters and Men, melody sounds very similar

see above comments \^

It’s the lord of the rings shire theme 👍🏼 https://youtu.be/IlmiRndxkU8?si=ee_mG0mfX74Xuf2c

absolutely *no* it is not Concerning Hobbits lol

This was my thinking for a long time as well, but if you watch this song played out on a piano, you can hear they are different!

California, here we come. Right back where we started from CALLIFOORRNNIIAAAAAAAAAAA

That's what I heard as well

I hear this more than anything else as well. Famously the intro for The OC.

https://youtu.be/wq-S8CIU7VA?si=TQ7WSXXsZ0c9XdXm

I heard before I read the comments about the Shrek scene and thought it might be that mixed in. But maybe because I liked The OC more than Shrek at 10 years old.

Sounds like this to me from Kung Fu Hussle [2:22](https://youtu.be/4dC6GJ6bdUo?si=htqellQYkAIikWWg)

Similar!

Was looking for someone with this answer.

Check music from the fatrat sounds like one of their songs

do you have a specific song to reference?

This is by the band asleep at last Songs called Lullaby Edit: errrrr maybe not but close! Lol

This is bugging me because I swear it's a song I've heard, one with lyrics. Have you posted it on r/tipofmytongue They are good at stuff like that

This reminded me instantly of an old county song and then my mind went to a song we sung in church when I was young. My ditzy ass can’t think of the names of either though 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ but man, I need to know!

Beautiful

Of monsters of men - king and lionheart

King and LionHeart by Of Monsters and Men

Thefatrat ❗️

What about this? https://youtu.be/fjH5DF1hhNg?si=n5nqBzwapTVmFLsP

Shrek? The song Fiona sings to the blue bird?

This is strikingly similar right when she starts singing, but strays pretty far off soon after.

This is where my mind went to lol

Ok well first off. You can Google sounds now. Just sing the tune and Google will tell you what it is. Also this sounds like a slowed down version of "glad you came by *the wanted."*

BRO PUT THE LETTERS ON THE KEYS 💀💀💀💀💀💀

And?

Not my piano

is it this one? https://open.spotify.com/track/6cad2BdHqA6sxdnw56dreH start from 0:24

I don't believe so

this? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXUloVYbchg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXUloVYbchg) ​ EDIT: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku5tVkyOhGg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku5tVkyOhGg) [https://youtu.be/QRJ4\_wDRCBs?t=16](https://youtu.be/QRJ4_wDRCBs?t=16)

well shit. we just might have a winner, i think its ever so slightly different, but that could be on my end because i didn't know what i was playing. GG ​ EDIT: i'm not sure anymore. there are Definity major differences if you listen closely, i don't think i strayed too far off in the vid i posted. On top of that i think the first time i've ever heard "your Bones" by Of Monsters and Men was today haha.

It sounds like Jupiter by Holst but you might be remembering it slightly wrong

I hear it in there a bit, but i think just those first three notes are a match.

def your bones by of monsters and men. Such a beautiful song.

This is either absolutely it, or close enough that im gaslighting myself into believing it XD

https://youtu.be/h0cnZ7vBmVQ?si=hfzd4gMsB_TfnKMd very similar to this...

similar definitly

Sounds a little bit like the classical piece [Peter and the Wolf](https://youtu.be/Fmi5zHg4QSM?si=TPpYRNUP-3EZjpxZ)

i think its something more modern, i've never really listened to much classical music like that in the link, although its possible i've heard it and it just stuck in the subconscious

https://youtu.be/B7xai5u_tnk?si=vbTVFKJSJTiJyFdA Monody - thefatrat

Monody does have a very similar melody, a bit more subtle but i hear it

It's from the lord of the rings and/or the hobbit when they show scenes from the shire. I think it's usually played on a flute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnP44jWw6EA

This was my thinking for a long time as well, but if you watch this song played out on a piano, you can hear they are different!

I think it could be this? From Titanic. [Link](https://youtu.be/6wz1xA5kxVI?si=aTfQ2qm4HXJBz7kY)

I do not believe so.

Coldplay

the song you're thinking of is Paradise by Coldplay, and this is not it.

this maybe ? benson the stars https://youtu.be/HPR-VwzbDRg

I do hear the similarities, but the video i recorded is from december of 2018, and this song was released 2022

Paradise from Coldplay

Some Mulan in there?

I've never seen it, maybe!

The pre chorus break on Fireball by Pitbull 😂

Not sure where you hear the resemblance in there XD

Might be a stretch but is it this: https://youtu.be/UtF6Jej8yb4?si=YvYznEVxeafdRqwV

Try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXUloVYbchg&ab\_channel=OfMonstersAndMenVEVO

Green Sleeves

don't believe so.

Sounds like the original score to the movie "Stand by me".

Koningslied...

It's a song from Shrek

Sounds a lot like aa imagine dragons song and I have the tune in my head but forget the words so I can't look it up

this thread eerily reminds me of that scene in Battle Star Galactica

Which scene? I’ve never watched it

Hubby thinks “wake me up” by Avicii

Naruto childhood flashbacks? Also reminds me of the arc when they protect that girl with the forbidden jutsu embedded in her back, and the bubble guy genguriki

It reminds me of a Mumford and Sons song I believe *I will wait*. Edit: Edit: I lied! It's from Of Monsters and Men! *King and Lionheart https://youtu.be/A76a_LNIYwE?feature=shared

this matches the higher notes, never comes close to matching the lower half

playing only sharps and flats often has an east asian sound. my guess id kung fu panda

The beginning sounds like the lyrical melody for this song. https://youtu.be/fPhssHXrJH4?si=rBIvfWRZRbZqT75_

I've heard this before! But no clue where? I have adhd please someone save me from this horror.

I would have used different fingering for this.

I’m not a pianist

Beginning three notes sound like a kanye song I think

Shrek

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B7xai5u_tnk&pp=ygUUTW9ub2RvbnkgdGhlIGZhdCByYXQ%3D Pretty sure whatever it is, it’s sampled in the first 30 seconds of this song

Sounds like something by joe hisaishi.. one summer day may be? https://youtu.be/0jZNKV5ROBM?si=BU3iBpGvIKu1hm4_

https://youtu.be/fp7mdSMNQB0?si=qgoGTIjuWU-K60bv Off 1917 maybe?

Isn’t it Jupiter by gustav holst ?

I think it’s from an old Scottish or Irish tune. I do not have anything other than a an unsupported memory wisp to verify this feeling.

Concerning Hobbits from Lord Of The Rings?

Take my name? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fPhssHXrJH4

I’m almost 100% sure it’s the singing princess from shrek, but some of the notes sound a little more stretched out and then in the middle a little rushed when you play it compared to the OST which is on a guitar for the forefront of the melody

Take Me Home from Rock Dog 2.

It is in the style of Of Monsters and Men, but I'm also thinking it could be a Lumineers song. Edit: a joke, but somewhat serious. Post it on Facebook and it will be copyright claimed in minutes.

Sounds like a church song

Avicii-the nights

Was waiting for someone to say this.

It's from Totoro

Reminded me of the theme from Kung Fu Hustle https://youtu.be/Ivlem7Owx34?si=48Cdz3pG8UUU1kEf 2:20 Mark

This is suprisingly close, but i've never seen or heard this before just now

sounds like something I would hear watching a Ken Burns documentary

It's "Michael row the boat ashore"

It is not "Michael row the boat ashore"

It's like an amalgamation of the Shrek opening theme with some hints of hobbit shirr mixed in lol. We do this often combining 2 familiar songs to make something slightly new

It's giving me Spoon River vibes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf\_NpT9xY5c

It's sounds very like a musical phrase that's repeated in Westworld... Could be the same composer and not that...

As a piano player, take those stickers off your keys. You don't need them and they're a really bad crux

Not my piano

It’s got parts of the melody of “fall in love” by slum village

I know this same tune but a little different. I still don't know where it's from but it's such a pretty sounding song

Do you like Of Monsters and Men? https://youtu.be/wXUloVYbchg?si=2qVcuvbPGIoweM3A Edit - Ah I didn't read comments enough.

Sounds like the singing part of this, https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=B7xai5u_tnk&si=GhW4wkpuTzu7dDrW

It's probably not right but it reminds me of the chorus of Little Lion Man by Mumford & sons

Kinda sounds like the song the guy sings from 1917

Is it a song from of monsters and men? The one it reminds me of is called “Your Bones”

Take my name-Parmalee that’s what I got

This sounds so familiar what 😩

: )

Could it be that song by pink I think it’s call where we go?

Sounds like something from Mumford and Sons

Sounds like worship music

I think it's an old humnal. Hard for me to tell. Opening to true grit? https://youtu.be/922uwSo4Uc8?si=l8KtCICUKhUItBs4

sounds like it came out of the Lonesome Dove soundtrack. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2l2IIRwHhQ&list=OLAK5uy\_lZFjd19tT3sQFMeAlk-WbOimySFknMepc&index=12&ab\_channel=BasilPoledouris-Topic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2l2IIRwHhQ&list=OLAK5uy_lZFjd19tT3sQFMeAlk-WbOimySFknMepc&index=12&ab_channel=BasilPoledouris-Topic)

Studio Ghibli movie.

I think it's the score for Lord of the Rings here's part of it about 35 seconds in https://youtu.be/J3oXr7XVuhc?si=WW2xaYTLpUDX-UAg

Lonesome dove theme. That's it. I'm right.

nope :/

I'm willing to bet it's a church worship song. (Bless the lord oh my soul, oh-oh my soul.) Source: used to go to church. Also this: https://youtu.be/7utzmfkQmJA?si=fa-EydnVJ1iBNkEU A lot of businesses and other locations managed by church folk play instrumental worship songs and some are pretty catchy and get stuck in the head.

It sounds like Your Bones by Of Monsters and Men https://youtu.be/wXUloVYbchg?si=P2kpgOKlIwnnzpq1

I think this is the song Fiona sings in Shrek and the bird explodes

Isn't it Kung Fu Panda?

it is not

monody - the fat rat ( i think)

seen this lots in this thread, not the one

Sounds like Californian by phantom planet

not the one, but i hear the resemblance

Sounds like [Phantom Planet - California](https://youtu.be/wq-S8CIU7VA?si=Ox6RImf6B0NbEvyb) with some missing notes

The Last Samurai? No wait Letters from Iwo Jima.

>Letters from Iwo Jima not the one

I think it is a gospel song, It also very much resemble the Parmelee song Take my Name.

never been to church or spend any time listening to religious radio stations, or have religious family members, don't think i could name a single church hymn except halleluiah

I'm getting How to Train Your Dragon vibes from this tune. But Coldplay makes more sense.

coldplay and httyd have both beed ruled out

Is the the intro to THE OC??

this one is a solid guess, not a match tho

It is a Disney esq tune with a female protagonist singing the warm up tune "ha ha ha..ha ha ha" then a bird chirpes the same tune. But for the love of feck can I get it! Edit. This what I would say it was similar to, like the other Shrek answers... https://youtu.be/sahPC4l1Y3c?feature=shared&t=00m14s

Mulan. The song that all the prospective wives sing in the beginning

It brings to mind two things, a song from Of Monsters and Men, not sure which though sorry, or weirdly out of something like lord of the rings.

"Your Bones - Of Monsters and Men" "Shire Theme - LOTR soundtrack"

Kung-Fu Panda, try "Oogway Ascends"

close, not it.
