Somewhere In The Night is an unidentified pop rock song sourced from a 2008 Dailymotion mix, circulated by the Lyon Funk music community and posted to WatZatSong in 2020 by user gymforma.

Background and Search[edit | edit source]

The song was originally posted to WatZatSong by user gymforma on November 27th, 2020.[1] On August 28th, 2022, gymforma shared a slightly longer 33-second recording on MegaNZ, with the filename "request 8.mp3".[2] He stated that he got the song from a collector who has been identified as NimzoAOR.[how?]

On June 13th, 2024, Discord user Floptok discovered a mix titled "Funk Speed",[3] uploaded by DailyMotion user "funky_vinyls_records" on May 23rd, 2008, which contains a longer ~47-second snippet of the song.[4] Another unidentified song was discovered among the songs in the mix, known as "You're On Your Own," and the remaining tracks were from various countries, including Italy, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and the United States, dating from 1983 to 1989.[5] In total, the 17 mixes contain 123 distinct song snippets, 122 of which are identified as of September 22nd, 2024.[6]

Early in the search, there was some confusion about whether NeonBlue80, a member of the Lyon Funk community, is related to the original post, with some accusing him of knowing the song and artist and purposefully hiding it from searchers. This is now confirmed to be a misunderstanding; specifically that NeonBlue is not funky_vinyls_records.[7]

NeonBlue has previously claimed that the song was likely from a blog, possibly KISSMAR, HardRockAORHeaven (CamelBlue) or Polix Soundtrack,[8] but this has been debunked by a former Lyon Funk community member, who has been identified as the original source of the 33-second snippet clipped from the "Funk Speed" mix. The identity of "funky_vinyls_records" is still unknown.[7]

The search gained popularity in 2023,[9] and is now one of the most sought after songs in Lostwave.

Musical Analysis[edit | edit source]

A slowed sample of the beginning to Giorge Pettus's song "One Time Affair" featured at the end of the snippet,[10] originally suggested to searchers that the song was from a mix. This also indicated that Somewhere In The Night was pitch-edited, as confirmed by the fact that in the discovered mix, the track directly before SITN, Something by Lava, was sped up by 15 BPM and pitched F# major, instead of the original E♭ major key.[11]
