Question
Hi Crystal,
I'm a fellow "expert" :) and I have been searching forever to find out the name and/or artists from the episode where Emily spikes Brandon's drink at the underground club. In particular, I am wondering about the songs that were played while they were dancing in the club. One has lyrics like "and the music takes you round and round and round, hold on to love." It sounds like Seal but I'm not sure. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer
Hello Carmen,

The song questions are the hardest ones, aren't they? I checked out the episode to see what I could catch for song lyrics and used the lines you gave me. Like you thought the song lyrics you provided are from the song "The Beginning" by Seal.

I know that www.tv.com lists the song "Hold on to Love" by T'Pau as also being used in this episode. However, I cannot find an audio clip of it on any of the online sites I use to confirm either way.

I was able to pick up lines from other songs used in that episode. However, it was not really enough to be able to get definite matches through searching for song lyrics. Below is what I have:

One line I caught was "close your eyes, kiss the sky". A song that matched those lyrics was "Come Inside" by The Thompson Twins. Where I found the lyrics said that song is on the album "Queer", I can't find any source for an audio sample though to confirm it was used in the episode.

Another song I caught a few words to had something like "you can, you can, someday, someday" in the lyrics. I was not able to match this up with any song that was released around the time "U4EA" aired originally.

The last one I caught lyrics for had the line "let me get out" followed by "ya ya ya ya ya". I think I heard that song in a fairly recent car commercial (sorry, can't remember which one) and when my dad had his XM Radio at home one weekend. However, both times I was not able to catch enough of it to be able to tell if it was the same song used in "U4EA" or to not.  

Hope this helps you out a little bit. Sorry I can't provide more.
