On a quest to find a song

First of all, hello, and thank you for letting me join your forum. I'm a long time AOR/melodic rock/ and glam-sleaze fan--going back to before I even knew what any of that was. But what brought me here is a song, and I really hope that your collective knowledge can help me.

 

I'll try to be brief.

 

I work 3rd at a grocery store and they tend to change up the "soundtrack" every few months. This past autumn they changed to one I'd never heard, and it had a song that I, and at least two others out here on the interwebs, have been dying to find. I figured a quick Google search of the lyrics would lead me right to it, but I was wrong.

 

My searches have led me to two other people searching for this song; one on a New Wave music forum (though it's not really a New Waveish song) and the other a few days ago in a Yahoo! questions thread (where I got my best lead yet).

 

Here's what I know.

 

Lyrics:

"Everybody who's challenging better get out of my way, I'm taking no prisoners after all this is my day, (Chorus) I'm gonna over (over) the red line, I'm gonna go over (over) the red line. I can't lie this is countdown time and nothing's going to change my mind, I'm gonna go over the red line."

 

Sound: It sounds like the kind of song that would be used in an 80s movie montage; Not like Rocky or The Karate Kid. More like Young Blood, Vision Quest or American Anthem. A teen/young adult sports flick. I'd compare the band to someone like FM.

 

The best evidence I have is a sound clip recorded by the young lady on Yahoo! (she also works at a grocery store). When I replied she emailed it to me (BTW, she's already tried Shazam and Soundhound). It's decent quality. Hopefully it's enough for someone who knows it to recognize it. Unfortunately I can't figure out a way to upload it here, but if someone knows a way, please let me know. Otherwise I'd be happy to email it to you (I definitely don't want to break any forum rules in this regard, however). It's only 648kb. Scanned and perfectly clean. It came out as a Quicktime file, but I can choose to play it with Windows Media Player or VLC Media Player no problem. My email address is teewill555@gmail.com.

 

Thank you in advance!

It's a cool song but I couldn't find anything on it. Maybe some of the posters here who are into some obscure AOR would know.

I know, right? In an age when every answer is only a click away it's amazing there's no trace of this song out there.

 

I really do appreciate everyone who has given this their time so far.

I was walking out of the Kroger grocery store in Roanoke, VA this morning when I heard this song and tried to SoundHound it. No luck. I remembered as many lyrics as I could and entered them into my phone before I forgot and found these posts, which led me to the sound clip provided here in this discussion forum.

 

Mystery solved! Just out of curiosity, I Shazamed the sound clip away from the noise of the grocery store to see if it would pick up, and sure enough, it did.

 

The song is "Red Line" by Michael Kisur.

Funny how the original poster has since disappeared ....

 

No, haven't disappeared. Never got any emails alerting me of responses (thought I would automatically, but looks like I needed to check "follow this topic" box. My bad.). Came back today to tell everyone I found out who it was... but you beat me to the punch. Nice work everyone, and thank you.

 

I also checked Kisur's website and then emailed him, but thus far no response. I even saw a post on his Facebook from someone asking this exact same question (Dated Feb. 9th). It's a small number of people seeking this song, but it's growing.

 

In the time since I last posted I heard another song on our music system and it sounded a lot like Kisur. Sure enough it is. It's called "All I wanna do (Is you)" and it was apparently used on the soap All My Children. Maybe Redline/Red Line was used on a TV show as well (He's apaprently done a lot of work for Soaps, as well as the old fantasy series Witchblade.

 

Anyway, thank you all again for your efforts. I really do appreciate it. If I hear anything/find anything else, I'll come back and let you know.

Lol! This song is spreading like a virus. It makes sense that you heard it at Fry's since it's a part of the Kroger empire family of stores.

 

A quick note on the other Kisur song I mentioned, "All I wanna do (is you)". I tracked it down and it's not the same song that I heard @ Kroger. Funny that I thought it was him, he had a song title matching the lyrics, but it's not the same.

Maybe a cover??

Surprisingly no, it's a totally different song. All I could make out from the one I heard at work is the chorus, which I think goes "All I wanna do. Yeah, all I wanna do.". It's sorta like something the 80s group The Outfield ("Lose your love", "Winning it all") might have done, but it sounded like Kisur singing. And when I searched Kisur/All I wanna do and got hits for "All I wanna do (is you)" I thought "Bingo!". Unfortunately, it's not it. Kisur's song is quite cheesy. Likely one of the songs he did for a daytime Soap Opera.

    • Good safe and well with the footage I've seen on news here in Australia it must be scary.
    • I can tell you that at the very least, there are people from FEMA working with some of the local businesses (my employer included) as far as looking at what aid is available to them. On the flip side, I've heard that one of the FEMA directors "got an attitude" with a few folks in the Asheville area and got popped in the mouth. I can't confirm that, just a story that's making the rounds. 
    • Glad you and yours are ok Mike. There's been a lot of buzz on social media about the LACK of response from FEMA and the current admin. Have you seen or heard anything on the ground one way or the other?
    • Not sure if anyone has noticed my absence over the last 10 days, but I've only been able to sign in a few times from work over the course of that period. As some of you may know, on Friday, September 27th, Hurricane Helene slammed into western North Carolina and absolutely devastated this area, leveling entire towns in its path. In my 52 years on this planet, I've never seen destruction like this with my own eyes.  While my home and property were spared any major problems, our road looked like a damn warzone with all the trees and powerlines down. We were literally trapped like rats in a maze for several days, as even though some good samaritans were able to cut their way through the downed trees so we could leave the neighborhood, all roads leading out of this area were closed off, either due to trees and lines down, or due to flooding.   I was out of work for six days, as my employer had no power. We had no power here at the house for 9 days, with it being restored late yesterday evening. We lost several hundred dollars worth of food that thawed out from our fridge and freezers. No hot water after day one, no cell signal for several days, no stores or restaurants open for several days... If it sounds like I'm complaining, I assure you, I am not. I am grateful. My family and friends are blessed, as we're all pretty much back up and running now. While there was some severe flooding here in Morganton just around two miles from my house, overall, it was MILD around here. Once you drive a mere 20 miles up the road to a little town called Old Fort in McDowell County, and everything west from there, it is exponentially worse. Huge chunks of Asheville under water, Chimney Rock literally wiped off the map, Spruce Pine damn near wiped away, small towns with no communication to the outside world with people struggling. It is BAD here in Western NC, and it's going to take a LONG time for things to get back to some semblance of normal for ALOT of people.  I just felt the need to post and let anyone who might have noticed I was MIA that I am fine, but that alot of good people are not. Please keep western North Carolina in your thoughts and prayers, and if that's not your thing, drink one for all of us tonight. Here are a few links that I've shared over the last week on FB that show the devastation around here... https://fb.watch/v331QebVRJ/ https://www.facebook.com/100067755911039/videos/1069274148086583/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ER9b6tv8oj84QuWb/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/9MpnKZUAx4m5oy3y/ All these aerial shots are from around 1-2 miles from my house: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/vux5WpAqeMDcNMhS/ https://fb.watch/v33x13dnTf/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/V6RPz7HiiMhrBsfn/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/vvEuMCm7We6fitZ9/ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/jE1utxkfNLeKEM9S/ Park Rangers in Chimney Rock managed to get the flag raised up again...  
    • I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.  
    • So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin
    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
    • Seems these guys are no more   https://sleazeroxx.com/r-i-p-cobrakill-lead-guitarist-randy-white-announces-band-no-longer-exists/
