I have my fingers crossed it’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”
lol here's the story.
As I teenager I would often listen to music while falling asleep. Mainly the local alternative rock station, WCYY. One night a week they'd have a block called "spinout" where they'd play weirder and more obscure stuff -- local bands, independent bands, stuff that wasn't part of the normal rotation.
Anyway, one night I heard this song that I just found fascinating. Woke up the next day and tried to find it online, but this was like 1997 and my Yahoo! searches for the lyrics (which I misheard/misremembered badly) yielding nothing. Spent years trying to find it. I should mention that I was in a band at this time and a fledgling musician; part of me actually began to theorize that I had dreamed up the song on my own!
Anyway, decades later there was some crappy VH1 show that lasted a few episodes about..... I dunno, a woman time traveling or something? I caught the pilot and the song was played!!! I only had basic cable so I couldn't pause/rewind the TV or whatever and I still didn't catch enough of the song lyrics to search for it on the internet. But it confirmed the song was real!! Went to the VH1 website a few days later and was able to rewatch that part of the episode until I pieced enough to google and it was.........
Numb by U2

Anyway I'm glad I found it.
