UPDATE:
The song has been found! Reddit User 'TrippyDew' had a burst of inspiration, and using the "before:date" technique popularised by 'DamnPeggy' for Kenya Dance, searched for "The man on a hill before:2013". They ended up finding a short live performance from a band called 'The Defended', uploaded on 16th March 2008, performing the first minute of the song. Search efforts became much easier with the artist and title, and shortly afterwards, the full song was found. It has been identified as the third track from an album/EP called "Boys, Girls and Broken Hearts". Now hoping to find other songs from The Defended, as this song is awesome!
Full Song: • The Defended - Man On ...
Live Recording Snippet: • The Defended, Man on a...
PREVIOUS DESCRIPTION:
"There's a Man" is a 1:43 clip of an unknown song. It was recorded from the radio in 2012 or 2013 and originally posted to SoundCloud by Arthur Bogushev in April 2017. I have slightly extended the song by repeating the chorus (with added harmonies) and adding in some extra "do do do" bits! I hope you enjoy! As always, do let me know if this song is familiar to you in any way. Check out the original below.
Original Recording (SoundCloud): / 1a-1
Original Recording (KZfaq): • [Solved] The Defended ...
Lyrics (Interpretation):
(One, two, three, four!)
VERSE 1
There's a man who stands upon a hill
Looking down to the people he has killed
And it’s only one by one
There's a man who stands above a grave
Looking down to a woman, cute and says
That his life's been put on hold
CHORUS
And he will make or break your day
Turn around and look the other way
You gotta listen what he say
And he will send you up or down
Don't matter if you break your neck or drown
You gotta listen what he says
(Do do do...)
VERSE 2
There's a man who lost what he once loved
Looking sad cos he knows the time has come
To take his pain away
He writes a note and he makes his way upstairs
It won't be long, 'til he don't have to care
Until he admits I’m outta my hole, yeah
(CHORUS)
(Do do do...)
(CHORUS)
(Do do do...)

Great cover! It's a shame the OP is no longer active. If he gave more info, like if he remembers which radio he recorded this song on, and if he told us the name of the radio, maybe we could contact the radio and get the answer. I'm French, and the style of this song reminds me a lot of Amandine Bourgeois and her song "L'homme de la situation". The fact that both songs are about men, "L'homme de la situation" meaning the man in the situation, the "tututututu". In fact, it's like an English version of this song, only rockier and sung by men. Amandine Bourgeois is the winner of a French TV talent show. I found out through research that she's even had success abroad. In particular, she took part in Eurovision in 2013, but didn't win. Remember, this song was recorded in 2012-2013, so if it's from 2013, it fits. I think the people behind this song may have been inspired by Amandine Bourgeois, because as a Frenchman I immediately thought of that when I first heard it. Anyway, awesome cover and I hope the original song will be found in the future.

Feel it has to be from like 98-99 to 2010s with the originals style and quality. Its too much like a mix between greenday and something like the fratellis otherwise.
