I was listening to Danish Radio (DR) P2 in the bath last week when I
heard a very strange track. It contained the words (something like):
'If you wait a little longer than you normally would ... something
most amazing may occur' starting with one word 'If' then two words 'If
you' then three 'If you wait' then 'If you wait a little' and so on.
It could be somebody 'experimental' like Philip Glass. I have tried
Google with no success. Any ideas?

Did you record part of it? If you did, then anyone with an Iphone could use >Shazam on it, but you might be no wiser as there do seem to be people around >I've never heard of a lot these days.

No I didn't because I was in the bath at the time and did not know
what to expect. I think DR offers a playlist but I don't know (yet)
if there is listen again. Problem is that I'm not even sure what
night it was. I think I'll send them an email.
If you can find an email. I've noticed an issue with many companies of late where, not satisfied at having no telephone, they now don't have an email,
so you fill in their contact us and none of the choices of subject apply to your question and when the reply comes it says something like thank you blah blah, we aim to respond withing x days, and it comes from an email with noreply in it.
So its a case of we know your email, and you are not allowed to know ours.

Can you remember the tune? I remember many decades ago there was
something called something like the "Birmingham hum line", which you
rang up (I told you it was a while ago!) and hummed a tune, and (I think
a human!) told you what it was. (I never used it, so I've no idea how
good it was.) I think I've seen mention of something recently -
presumably more automated! - that will go.
On purely lyrics, I think there are similar - maybe try googling things
like "lyric finder" or similar, rather than the actual lyrics. I know
there are sites (lots of them) with lyrics, so I'd be surprised if there >aren't ones that do what you want (maybe "identifier" rather than
"finder").
Or you could just email Danish Radio (-:

Someone mentioned some such - I think it began with s.good it was.) I think I've seen mention of something recently -

lyrics finding site:

Glad you found it! I presume you've found the record too, but if not: >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bpXpaI2S7Q
(P) 2016, apparently, though that could be a reissue date - recordings
on YouTube irritatingly frequently don't give the recording date, only
that of a record that's been re-issued to capitalise on back-catalogue.
(Not my kind of music! But each to his own. Sounds like a very
multinational production - looking at the surnames, I'd say Polish,
Finnish, British/American, Dutch/Afrikaans, German, and Spanish, at
least!)
