- When you don't know enough about it
Specifically for me at the moment
There is a wonderful version of Beyond The Sea
Bobby Darin's version is ok if you want a young Sinatra clone sound, but there is another I heard once. Might have been instrumental. The tune is bliss.

That's a few ! I'm guessing it is am instrumental, orchestral version as I think it was the arrangement that was so good Almost certainly not female vocal and likely mot male vocal. Probably at least 5-10 years old

Still sticking with 'try Spotify'. Use the search to find all the versions of the song, then sample them until you find the version you recognise.
