Sort of indie-ish. I thought it might be by the Aliens or the Beta Band or whatever... Has a refrain sung by several male voices fairly slowly towards the end - "Everybody needs someone, somehow" (or something). Any clues?

help me find this!
r&b, most likely early to mid 00's if memory serves. not that syncopated timbaland style. chorus -> "it's the music.." maybe followed by something about when the music's gone. i think. heard it lately in a shop and cannot for the life of me remember who did this song.

no, afraid not. it's an r&b group only, no rap, far as I recall. mostly women singing. kinda sounds like lucy pearl but it's not lucy pearl, i have that record.

Electro-y, woman singing (in my mind it sounds like Goldfrapp), something like "the drugs don't work anymore" but maybe the drugs part is just The Verve infringing on my brain

Random request for a song I've been trying to find for years now, with no luck through Google.
A friend had it on a compilation LP of 1980s downtown artists.
It's the opening track: a kind of Laurie Anderson-like spoken narration about Boise, Idaho, Alan Ladd in Shane, and "swans mate for life, someone tells you."
Little drum machine, reverb-y guitar.
