Question
I am about to go crazy to find out who sings this song. Been gone so long,gone gone gone so long its a tragedy she been gone so long.  

Answer
  I can't say I know what that one is.  Perhaps with some more information.   Were the guitars distorted or clean?   Did it have organ or piano?   Backround vocals or just a lead singer?  Is it a faster song or slower song?
 Is there another song you can think of that has a similar style to it?
 And,  which part of the rock era does it sound like it  is from, is it more 60s sounding?  70s?

 Also,  anything unusual about the song that makes it sound different, like a lot of reverb on the vocal or perhaps an unusual guitar sound?

  With that information I might be able to remember it. Anything you can think of, no matter how seemingly insignificant it might seem, could help.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
