Very Happy
Hello!
I couldn't find this in any search engine I used, so I turn to you for help!
Here are some of the lyrics I managed to note down:
"Here I am again
Faces I don't recognize"
"Feelings I cannot describe
How did I get here?"
"I got A message"

A bit about the song. It's not a recent release, but it's not an old song either. A man with a soft voice is singing and another man with a harder voice (sounds like the voice of a rapper) is doing some vocals. I cannot define the music genre, but it's NOT hard rock, metal, trance, rap, folk, country, industrial or electro. It sounded more like a blend of R&B, hip hop and indie :-)

This is a wild guess but maybe it's the Talking Heads "Once in a Lifetime". There is soft singing in the back with talking laid over it. Here are the full lyrics:

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
Wife
And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? ...am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My god!...what have I done?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was

:-) boomerang thank you for the effort, but it's not the song i'm looking for! the style of the song is totally different from anything Talking Head did. The voice of the man who sings the song i'm searching is very mellow!
just_some_random_person, yes, i have heard it on the radio a couple of times. unfortunately there was no radio producer on air at those times to call and ask what song it was. the lyrics i posted are all correct, i'm sure about it!
