I'm searching for a song that played in the early '90s over and over again on TWC most everytime the forecast was shown... I remember this song playing over a great period of time, probably about a year, alternated with others (one of which I have positively identified as Tom Scott's "Looking For A Way", thanks to DAYS of searching www.twcclassics.com/music/official-playlists (http://www.twcclassics.com/music/official-playlists)). 'Looking For A Way' is my second favorite piece, but I can't find my favorite one.. Below is a youtube vid I made attempting to remake the song's basic structure with F.L.Studio.
The Weather Channel-Unidentified-music PLEASE help. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7dVyawqL8k#)
LOL! I hope you guys don't laugh at me using my own voice to recreate the sax!
This piece started with a heavy baseline with a keyboard playing the notes you hear, then came the sax.

Wow, that pretty creative, even though I couldn't help but laugh when you did the sax. :bleh: Anyway, it sounds like its Sienna by Ray Obeido, which played on TWC in 1999.

Thanks, I'll look that up! And I just realized that I posted this in the wrong forum, I didn't realize this was the 2000-present forum. Sorry people... I'll repost this were I should have.
-
WOW THANKS! :clap: I watched the vid you linked up and I think you may have solved the mystery!!!
I havn't heard the exact part of it I remember yet, but I'm going to try to look up the whole piece of music.
THANKS again! Wish I'd of tried this forum first instead of searching for two days strait..... :blushing:
I DID, however, have fun and heard some beautiful and very soothing music! :biggrin:

Again, I can't THANKYOU enough, TampaMillTWC88! This IS the piece I was speaking of! :dance:
I can't belive how off I was on the SAX... It's strange how I remember it EXACTLY the way I 'played' it.
The mind warps things, from the far past. This is truely amazing... you have made my day.
hats off to you, friend. :clap:
Here's the whole piece, if anyone is interested.

No problem. It is one of my favorites from "back in the day" on TWC.

LOL. Wow! No wonder I couldn't help you. You were off by 8 years! I was trying to think of songs in the early 90s, then the June 1991 playlist, since you said the song was used at the same time as Tom Scott's "You Mean Everything (To Me)." Glad someone was able to pick "Sienna" out of the gazillion songs with a saxophone in them. :o

Sorry! :whistling: Memories can be foggy. Just so you know, the song was released in 1989 and one commenter on the vid Tampa posted said he heard it in 1995 during a winter storm. Since TWC frequently uses older songs from the past favorited from older playlists, It's likely that I did hear this song on it around '91 or some other year in the early to mid '90s.
One thing I know for sure.... I moved out of my mom's house in 1997 and never saw TWC again until 2003 when I got my own Sat. T.V. at my new house, so I KNOW it was way before 1999 when I saw it. I still remember Tom Scott's 'You Mean Everything' alternating with this other piece, but it could be warped memory, just like my sax playing, lol!
Anyway,
Again, Thanks everybody, you definitely have a happy camper here! :biggrin:

On your song ID attempt, I was able to pick up the keyboard part of the song. Then I thought about it, and I realized it was Sienna. I remember it playing quite vividly in January 1999.
-
Great song.
-
Yea.. You mean Everything (to me) by Tom Scott (used in 1991) is a world away from Sienna (used in early 1999 post-Trammell era)
