I could have sworn I saw a Favorite Songs (2) thread by JSF. He was right: the old thread was loading too slow. I went all the way back to page 8 using *find in page "song"* but that word didn't pop up except the old thread. Tried searching thru "all posts" by JSF but couldn't find it there either. Also tried a site:fireflyfans.net search for "songs" and "favorite" but the only relevant thread that popped up was the old one.
I tried, I really did. I hate starting new threads just bc I can't find the one I need, but ... I can't find the one I need. So here it is: Favorite Songs (3)

I always liked this song bc pf its hymn quality and sadness. But I feel closer to it now bc I experienced something like it myself. The part that really resonates is about hearing the voices of those "vanished and gone". After my dx and chemo, I started dreaming about my colleagues who had passed away. Sometimes as sick, sometimes as they used to be. It was sad.

I missed this one when it was new... 12 years ago. Been jamming on it when it comes on the radio this summer. I thought it was Deathcab for Cutie, but it's Postal Service. I remember they had a big hit, but this wasn't it.
It's a cool sounding song. I like unique songs like this.
ETA: Now I know why I thought it was Deatcab...
Quote:
The Postal Service is an American electronic musical group composed of vocalist Ben Gibbard (of Death Cab for Cutie) and producer Jimmy Tamborello (of Dntel andHeadset) with Jenny Lewis (of Rilo Kiley) on background vocals/keyboards & samplers live. For the band's reunion tour in 2013, Laura Burhenn joined the lineup to provide additional vocals and instruments.

Is that what a chip fab really looks like? And how did they get some of that footage?
Altho you can only see part of their faces, the actors really convey emotion.
Wow, he's got a nice looking face!

I figured it had to be because it seemed like WAY too expensive a set to be created for a music video for an indie band.
According to wikipeda at least, it was filmed on location in a real fabrication plant run by Skyworks Solutions (and I did see Siemens chips in the video with the part numbers on the labels of the chips).

I don't think that is how the chips in our computers and smart phones are made. I'd think that would be for satelites, rockets and military equipment. Most of our stuff is done without people in the mix and they just put them through some random tests and throw out the bad ones as part of the automation process.
I was wrong about how old it was too... it was posted to YouTube in 2012. The song was from 2003, so however they do it today probably looks way different than it did 20 years ago.

I'm sure the slow motion really helps too.

Hadn't heard this one for a while. First time I'd looked it up to find out what it was.

I was posting from my mobile device, so with new Android programming, that means blind.
I posted the Thread ID number of a candidate you may have been referring to.
That thread has a date of OP more than 10 years ago. Wasn't sure if that was the one you were thinking about. It also referenced an even older thread. Back when downloads speeds were even slower than today.

Wow. I guess I'm a Machine Gun Kelly fan. Until I found out he did this song I thought the dude dating Megan Fox was a rapper with that name.
I don't hear a lot of good new rock songs with real guitars these days. And I think that rockin' drum beat around 2:30 seals the deal for me. This probably would have been my favorite song in the world if I was 15 years old in 2020.
