Yes, that's right, @kelicopter!

Over to you for the next round.

Wow, got it in one!
Lots of the lyrics were fitting: "it rains for you" "you've never felt the rain, my friend, til you've felt it running down your back" etc, but Mamunia be me song

Thanks, kelicopter. I was also thinking that it might be My Valentine ("What if it rained? / We didn't care")

Hopefully, this game can get going again. I'll name the other British group...
Extended Hints:
* The picture is an indirect reference to a John Lennon
song.
* The picture illustrates a song by Pink Floyd, and their song has something significant in common with a specific John Lennon
song.
So the first step is: what is the Pink Floyd song?

Shine on You Crazy Diamond
Is the John song Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds , or is it a solo John song?

That's the Pink Floyd song, @kelicopter!
There's a John solo song that has something in common with Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
I hope you can work it out.

I'll extend the hint again, and I think the puzzle will probably be solved this time.
Extended Hint:
* The picture illustrates 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond', which has something in common with a song on the 'John Lennon
/Plastic Ono Band' album.

Hi @Richard - Good to see you are still around plus thanks for keeping the thread alive. I think Lucy might have figured out your tune.

Hi, @sigh butterfly! Very good to see you posting again, and I look forward to reading about your visit to the UK.
Thank you for pointing out Lucy's post, and I'm sorry I missed it.
Instant Karma ! is a great suggestion, Lucy, but it's not the song I have in mind.
John (music)
Extended Hints:
* The picture illustrates 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond', which has something in common with a song on the 'John Lennon
/Plastic Ono Band' album.
* The song is on all versions of the album (not just the later reissues that contain bonus songs).

But of course!
@Richard Shine On You Crazy Diamond by David Gilmore has multiple rehashes of the same message, most notably
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
This is in common with Working Class Hero
, in the second person, in the advice tone.

Thanks @Richard, these are good hintsI believe your hints bore fruit
Hey @LucyInTheSkyWithHackneyDiamonds did you see Mick presenting at the Academy Awards last night. I do believe he got the biggest ovation of the night and seemed to be in great spirits!
Anywho, my brother is an obsessed Pink Floyd fan. He came to live with us on a little island in Hawaii for a few years in the 1970s. The day Animals came out he formed a line of one at what passed for our little local music shop. Somewhat unlikely, the owner had ordered 10 cassettes of the new album and my bro snagged the first one. Up until then he had played Wish You Were Here incessantly and I once knew all of the words. So this morning I started humming Shine On You Crazy Diamond and tried to remember the first lyric. Suddenly it came to me...
I do believe John also once sang about the the same memories in...Remember

Perfect, @sigh butterfly!
The first lyric of both Remember (recorded in 1970) and Shine On You Crazy Diamond (recorded in 1975) is indeed: "Remember when you were young"
