Somewhere In The Night was originally posted in 2020 as part of an 80s Mix by NeonBlue. NeonBlue originally claimed in a comment to know the artist behind the song, however refused to reveal the information. They later contradicted themselves on this multiple times, changing their story. NeonBlue would go back-and-forth on how long ago they recorded the song and even eventually denied knowing the title and artist.

The band '''Wild And Blue''' was suggested as a possible artist, citing similar musical styles, however, according to [[Ziro (Q)|q]], this lead has been ruled out.


'''Rene Varo''' was also suggested as a potential singer, however, this seems highly unlikely and purely based on vocal comparison rather than empirical evidence.

== Partial Discovery ==
=== Possible ===
In June 2024, the possibility of '''Phyllis Rhodes''', former lead singer of the band '''Saint Tropez''', being the singer was seriously considered, as she had a very similar voice. Rhodes was contacted by '''AltariaBoy''' and initially speculated the song was made by AI, using her voice. However, she suggested it could be one of her demos that went unreleased for legal and contractual reasons. Currently, Rhodes is contacting her producer to confirm if Somewhere In The Night is among these tracks.

Inside, you're all alone
 
Looking for the perfect one
 
Has left you on your own
 
You think you're running out of time
 
The time is on your side
 
Just when you think it's out of reach
 
It's right before your eyes

Love's gonna find you
 
You won't have to cry another tear
 
You don't have to try so hard this time, girl
