Italian Restaurant Greatest Hits Mixtape

August 1, 2009 5:10 AM

Help me identify a song that was on a tape in an Italian restaurant.

We were eating a leisurely meal in an Italian Restaurant in NYC (Nino's 208). A mixtape was playing throughout, kind of an Italian restaurant greatest hits tape. One song caught my ear. it was a male tenorish pop singer. Strings in the background. It started with the words "Hey now, hey now and then a chorusy thing. I don't remember any of the other words. The song is not Hey now, hey now by Augustana. Please help.

(Which could have been this italian hit, I assume, but that's entirely in italian, from what I can tell.)

The song I heard was the same voice as the Italian Singer above, only singing in English.

Same singer that's had a major hit in Italy with his cover of Don't Dream It's Over, but not the same song?
