I am looking for a song which I think has a children's choir on it. The chorus goes "Star of the sea, have mercy on me".
I feel like this was sung by a rock band like The Polyphonic Spree or Flaming Lips but possibly it was less well-known than this?
Google gives me mostly hymns with these lyrics. Any other early 2000s indie rock nerds remember this one?
3 years later I do not know if Frank will see the answer to his question but here is a link to the absolutely beautiful song he was looping for. Star of the sea by Michael Nyman & Conor McPherson from thé soundtrack of McPherson’s movie « The actors »…https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LV6YJcxdEx0

Maybe "Waiting for the Day" by Gerry Rafferty?
