It does sound thrush-like, but is not typical of any of the thrushes in this area except possibly for a Robin.  I have never heard this song/call come from a Robin though.  It doesn't match recordings on the Cornell site.  It starts mid-range, then up, then mid, then down, then mid.  There is no answering call.  My thought is that is a lonely male Robin desperately seeking a mate.  The habitat consists of very large, old maples and other tall, mature tress in a neighborhood about 1/4 mile from the Cleveland Metroparks.  If it would EVER STOP RAINING we might see this bird.  Always seems to be in the upper third of trees.  Any thoughts?

Red eyed vireo comes to mind.  I remember camping under a large tree
with a vireo above, singing morning to night.  I love birds, but this
vireo drove me nuts!
