   Hey Peter,   
      
   I know you posted this in 2005 and replied back only once. I am writing this   
   in 2022 which may or may not help you. Thanks to your question and the   
   fantastic people on this group who provided excellent suggestions, I got that   
   song which I was looking for    
   over 25 years. Hear me out... In 1996 I happen to watch a BBC Top Gear episode   
   by chance. In that particular episode, the host Jeremy Clarkson was talking   
   about the Lamborghini, Ferrari F355 and other super cars of that era. In that   
   episode the    
   background music was '... shine your light on me... ' a brilliant selection   
   for that episode. It turns out that the song was by Roxette - Love is All   
   (Shine Your Light on Me) which was released in 1994. Today I heard this song   
   after so very long. Thanks    
   to you Peter and to all the wonderful people here, especially ro   
   ke...@gmail.com and Mack A. Damia - you guys are awesome! Have a fantastic day   
   ahead. Bye :)
