Background[edit | edit source]

On March 9th, 2019, the song was first uploaded by the Fanning Sessions blog, which archives recordings from The Dave Fanning Show, an Irish radio program.[1] This broadcast is likely dated March 17th 1983;[2] in this broadcast, Fanning states that he will only play Irish songs,[1] and there will be no demo tapes played on the show.[3] The song's name is not mentioned in the program, as the audio cuts right before he introduces it.[4]

The songs on the tape range from 1981 to 1983,[5] with many of them coming from "Fanning Sessions," where aspiring bands were given a full recording session that was later played on Fanning's radio show.[6] Fanning was known to offer these recording sessions to obscure bands, and many of these bands never went on to release an album or single.[7]

The song first gained attention in the Lostwave community in June 2023, when it was reuploaded by YouTube user q.[8]
