I cannot speak from your experience, only from observation. Whether it be recent examples of similar phrasing in other media or examples of the grammar in songs here. With the current context for the song given, I see several viable options and am giving my preference in light of that, not just strictly "I".

It's one of the reasons I suggest "The Song (that was) Heard Somewhere" with no pronouns since it stays true to the meaning without assuming any speaker and avoiding this. If there's issue with any of that, I'd be glad to hear more on why it can't be translated as she or you or none and must be I. Your current points just cite a strict leaning which I see as still being flexible in the current context provided.
