The "...fade away...fade away..." ending is what it sounds like through the
speakers mounted about 35 feet above the ice rink. Song starts out with a
repeated acoustic 8-bar guitar riff. I think it was popular on pop/rock
stations a few years ago but i don't listen to pop music much. Any help??

Here are the lyrics, see if any ring a bell.


I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetime's are catching up with me
All these changes taking place
I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me

Hearts and thoughts they fade...fade away

I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldn't recall
For I'm not my former
It's hard when you're stuck up on the shelf
I changed by not changing at all
Small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream hello
My god it's been so long
Never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are
And here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade...fade away

No such luck. It's actually more upbeat than the Pearl Jam Cut. Thanks for
trying, though!

I don't know the song title offhand... Gasoline? Tangerine? I'm guessing the
group is 'Moist', though.

Resurrection! That's it! Ressurection, by Moist!

Well, in this case you're "not right". The song I'm looking for got a lot
of radio airplay (like ya still hear it at ice rinks, as a familiar example)
and has an intro structured similarly to the Moist song but slower and
acoustic. Hmmm, maybe it's not "fade" but it's definitely "away"...
