Music played on landing LHR - EWR/JFK

Hello -

Hoping someone can help, I've just done about thirty minutes of Google search to try and get this song out of my head!

Was on VS 46 this morning and the song they played over the PA just after landing sounded kind of like Fleet Foxes, but I'm sure that it wasn't Fleet Foxes. I couldn't remember any of the lyrics, just the tune. The VA site only lists "boarding music", so it isn't posted there either.

Any recent fliers know which song I'm talking about? Help me out of my misery!

Thanks,
Nick

Thanks Luke,

It wasn't that one. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Fleet Foxes, just someone that sounded like them. It even had the whoah-oh-oh's that they always have.

Anyone flown in the last few weeks? On my LHR to EWR flight on June 24th they played the same tune at landing, as well, so perhaps it's the current "song" for all flights.

I've flown several times in the last two weeks and I have zero recollection of that song - never heard it before. ?|

No idea at all. :(

So I will suggest Blue Skies by Noah and the Whale for no other reason than I think that they are rather good.

Or this by Ed Sheeran.

I like this "game" very much. y)

This particular song seems to be on the Thales system only from what I have heard of it... Lovely song but doesn't half get stuck in your head!

Ah I do feel quite stupid now...

It was the James Vincent McMorrow song - right at the top of the list of the boarding music!!

I think I tried searching for it but it came up with no results. Anyway, on a second listen (on better speakers), sounds less like Fleet Foxes than I originally thought.

Anyway, sorry for the wild goose chase but thank you for your help! Good song, anyway!
