Need help find song

DrezDrez Registered User regular
Need help.

Genre is trip-hop. Singer is female.

I believe there is lyric in there which is something like “it’s the waiting game” or “in the waiting game” or possibly neither of those but something that sounds like that. The voice in my memory is similar to the band Second Person.

And no it’s not In The Waiting Line by Zero 7.

Thank you. In advance. Unless you fail.

    Is it Sneaker Pimps 6 Underground?

    and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
    but they're listening to every word I say

    Is it Massive Attack? Is it Portishead?

    My bad guesses will continue until I get better clues.

    Is it Jem?

    More trip hop or less trip hop than that?

    Sorry I haven’t been back to my own thread here - life has been insane. Appreciate you continuing to look. That’s a great song and similar vocal quality but it’s not that one. Good guess, though!

    About that Jem song though? It's a serious question, because I want to know if I'm looking for some real hardcore grognard level Triphop or the more Triphop influenced but not exactly trip hop music.

    edit: also, do you have an idea of timeframe?

    I love Jem, but I kinda forgot about her so thank you for reminding me of her existence. The song I'm thinking does have a quality such as that song but it's a bit less flippant than the song I'm thinking of, tonally or lyrically. The song I'm thinking is kind of flirtatiously playful from what I recall, or at least that line about it being the waiting game was.

    Going off nothing but a faint whiff of memory, the group sounds like Second Person mostly in my memory:

    The way it sounds like she's clipping her own words while actually fully enunciating each word is the kind of vocal quality I'm talking about. Like she's throwing the words at you, but she's really fully singing each syllable.

    (Also, it's a great song. Enjoy.)
