editI don't remember this song was about, or
edit(It was around in 2013 or 2014.) A long time ago, I was on this short train ride to an airport, (for planes that hold less than 10 people, or they do tours.) so when the train got to the end of the line. I heard this song that was around, when you get off of the train stop. I can remember what the song list/ soundtrack look like. As it was showing on a wall like at every train stops, at an airport gate, etc.
It was a person showing a box or 2 in their hand and in the background there was more boxes (that almost looks like x-mas presents) and there was a tree that held the boxes on the tree branches. (that might sound like to a "yes or no.") Or can I be directed a list where you can see what soundtrack or album the song was in, by year? It was J-pop or light rock. 2601:640:C680:2E10:6D06:A93B:EA6F:DADA (talk) 04:28, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
- I'm having trouble parsing your question. Was the song about the train? Or the plane? It kind of sounds like it was you that was on them, which I'm having trouble seeing as relevant. Is your second sentence meant to describe the video? Sorry, maybe I'm just being dense, but I can't tell what is meant to describe the song, the video, or the circumstances under which you saw/heard it. Matt Deres (talk) 13:54, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
- No, the song was shown/ used at a train station; the train station was at places like AirTrain. On (an electric billboard, when you get off of the train stop) it was showing a picture of the song. As it was playing it, for a minute.
- Then if I can't find it from remembering it, is there a song release where I can try finding it over there. Like the same thing with a movie, and I'll try looking at lists of films. Then I'll look at a chosen year and the date to the month(s) of when it was out/ released. And find what the info is. 2601:640:C680:2E10:A9EA:964A:2037:1664 (talk) 16:00, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
- Your issue is with English. It appears you were on a "tram", not a "train". You saw a "video", not a "picture". Is there a reason to assume this was a popular song and not a purpose-made safety notice, such as "Don't leave your bags unattended". It also could have been a commercial, which can contain a song, but they often have songs written specifically for commercials - like jingles. Your mention of "boxes" sounds more like "gifts" and likely places it near Christmas. If it was a popular song, it was likely a Christmas song. Knowing the exact year, it is possible to look through Christmas songs released that year, then look at the videos for those songs. Right now, we don't know if it was a popular song. We don't know if it was by a man or woman. Was it by a young or old person? It could have been a Muppet. 71.85.51.150 (talk) 18:18, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
- Well, the song was J-pop or some "Rock" song, but that was when I was half done with high school. When going from U.S. to "name of country", for a few days (or anywhere.) Then a little before the plane trip going back, there was that song. For that time the person was a woman holding gifts, and, well in that above message.. So if no one knows it, can someone refer me to a site where it can show what the song listing genre, soundtrack, or album. Where I may remember it. A search engine to look up the song's picture. If there is a website. Not like it's off from google, as some results keeps showing, it's a song to Kingdom Hearts. One to Tales of the Abyss, or any song it might be attached to a game. When I input that in. 2601:640:C680:2E10:A9EA:964A:2037:1664 (talk) 18:59, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

- If it's J-pop, just look at this set of song artists and look over every name and their soundtrack. If the picture cover is close too what your looking at. Just google search the soundtrack/ albums name. Unless if you got a bunch of free time to do that. Or whatever. 67.180.45.107 (talk) 23:15, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
- Wait, would it "matter" if the same or different song I heard of, was on a Cathay Pacific too? That was the plane ride on way back and I remembered, it just had the song there too. Or does the song listing change over time? Since from 2013 or 2014, with new ones?
- Or is this taking up too much of a person's time, to copy what J-pop or Rock albums the plane had at that time? 2601:640:C680:2E10:A9EA:964A:2037:1664 (talk) 00:58, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
- Why do you think that the location you heard the song is so important? Was it an advertisement? Background music to an instructional video? If you want us to identify a piece of music, you need to tell us stuff like: was the singer male or female? what language was it? were there particular instruments? do you remember any of the lyrics at all? You keep coming back to points that seemingly bear no relation to helping identify the song in any way. Also, English is clearly not your native language - we have folks here who are fluent in many languages; if you express what you want in your native language, we could get a translation done and go from there.

- Mine is broken Chinese English, with not knowing much to Chinese. Your born Chinese, but no one than mom's side of the family only speaks Chinese, and grandpa always had many female kids and grand-kids, while having a look in his eyes like it wanted more "male" kids. (I don't really want to say more because it will feel like therapy.) As dad's side is Chinese, but doesn't speak it. Like, grandma on dad's side just had a kid, but she's gone. The kid is ok, but grandma is over by a cemetery, after the delivery. Then some years later on grandpa moved to west coast from the east, and met a different person. And everyone's happy.
- First one to "piece of music" was female, it was Japanese, there was no instruments; just a regular microphone. I don't remember the lyrics. But I can only remember the cover of the song. Then if I drawn it, to describe about it. I would be bad at art. 2601:640:C680:2E10:A9EA:964A:2037:1664 (talk) 16:17, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
