What's this song?

October 26, 2005 8:28 PM

Can anyone help identify this song currently in heavy rotation on New Zealand radio stations (and possibly elsewhere)?

It's got a white guy reggae thing going on, and the chorus goes something like "Something so true / is what I get from you / I hope you see / that's what you get from me." I've tried googling it, but I either get too many results (thousands and thousands) or only one (here), a cache of a forum where participants are quoting their favorite lyrics. The poster who quotes the relevant lines does not attribute them. I've also tried checking the NZ radio charts and looking for radio playlists, but no obvious titles came to my eye.

Please forgive my ignorance if this is your favorite song.

I was hoping that it was a PNG or Vanuatu group, but I'll guess it's a song by the Black Seeds.

Why don't you just send a msg to the person who posted and ask them the name of the song and the artist?
