SongIdentificationFilter: This song would be well suited to a slow motion lovers-into-each-others-arms scene.
It has a very 70's feel, and is centered around a swooning and syrupy string section. I'm quite set on finding it, because in addition to it's campy sappiness, it's got a distinctly danceable groove as well. I heard it in a bar in Maryland last week, which was quite unexpected, as prior to this I've only heard this in film/television. There were, iirc, no or very minimal lyrics.

Best answer: sounds like some barry white would be a good place to start.

Response by poster: Acutally, I'm now certain it was instrumental. (I'm pretty familiar with Barry White's catalog, and I don't think it was his stuff)

Response by poster: I think it would also be fair to categorize it as Disco. A friend of mine, after hearing me hum it, thinks he heard it on the Wonder Years.

Barry White is responsible for a lot of you being here.

It was the inspiration and used as a sample for and in OMD's "I Had An Idea (Based on a Love Theme)". Just FYI. :)

Doh, it's actually "Dream of Me (Based on a Love Theme)." Knew I should've checked.
