'''Avail''' (previously known as '''"Waste My Time"''') is a solved lostwave by indie-rock band The Burns, recorded from Minsk radio in 2010 and first posted by WatZatSong user morback in 2013.  


==Background==
== Background ==
On November 4, 2013, the WatZatSong user morback uploaded a mysterious song, recorded from Minsk radio in 2010.
On November 5, 2013, WatZatSong user morback posted the song for the first time without providing any additional information, but it was removed for unknown reasons.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20141002015733/http://www.watzatsong.com:80/en/name-that-tune/391658.html</ref> On October 11, 2014, morback added the entire song to the thread.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150129053646/http://www.watzatsong.com:80/en/name-that-tune/391658.html</ref>


The WatZatSong post only began receiving considerable attention in early 2023, when the first non-deleted comments were posted. Due to the heavy accent of the singer, nearly every single word of the song is highly debated upon. This makes the search especially difficult.
On December 15, 2014, user ID-Cancion reuploaded the song to YouTube,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm5JWTBQ2YQ</ref> and morback reuploaded the song to WatZatSong on January 7, 2018, claiming that he recorded it from Belarusian radio station Indy Rock Radio in 2010.<ref>https://www.watzatsong.com/en/found/The+Burns-Avail-537199.html?page=3</ref>


The OP of Waste My Time, morback, claims the song abruptly stopped playing on radio in 2012, likely coordinated with a law promoting Belarusian music on radio stations. This means the song is likely not from Belarus. The song is widely thought to have originated from an Eastern European country, but Japan has also been theorized.
The song gained popularity in the lostwave community in June 2023, when it was first posted to r/lostwave by user Revolutionary_War443.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Lostwave/comments/14dkh1i/unknown_song_waste_my_time_reupload/</ref> Due to the singer's heavy accent, nearly every word of the song was heavily debated, which made the search more difficult.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WasteMyTime/comments/1b3f2o8/why_waste_my_time_may_be_from_another_country/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WasteMyTime/comments/1cs035o/is_it_actually_english/</ref>
 
Further correspondence with morback revealed that the song was most likely created by a non-Belarusian band, as it stopped airing on the radio in 2012, and Belarus had a law requiring 75% of music broadcast each day to be Belarusian.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WasteMyTime/comments/1ccy0r8/progress_is_slowly_being_made/</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Belarus</ref>
 
== Discovery ==
On May 21, 2024, Reddit user TZilantro_Slumber identified the song as "Avail" by Russian indie-rock band The Burns after a previous band he had contacted in the search, Pompeya, responded to him with the full song after their bassist Denis Agafonov found the song's music video.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WasteMyTime/comments/1cx90lf/wmt_found_the_burns_avail_2009/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WasteMyTime/comments/1cxyfiu/my_messages_with_garry_and_how_i_found_the_song/</ref>

|'''Presumed Lyrics'''
Loathing smile(s), drink while
|-
|'''(Verse 1)'''
Lonely smile, drink a while


Closed-eyed tryna picture us:
(Clothes hide?) how to picture us


Running down, hand-in-hand
We're falling down, (head in?) (holding?) hands


It’s too hard to live it up
And it's too hard to live it up


Loving boy, it’s useless now
A lot of words are useless now


I don’t see why you’re at peace
Oh, should I ignore the peace


Can’t see sign? Wake up
Can't see the sign, wake up


Aim the mirror for the sky
I hit the mirror from the sky


Crossing roads and empty streets
Busted roads and empty streets


In hyperreallis
(It hide where your road leads?)


Hidden somewhere, hidden deep
It leads somewhere, hidden deep


You can never find it
You will never find it


Today, you’ll feel
'''(Chorus)'''


How bad can it build
Today, you'll (sear?)


I’m so angered
Heartbreak in your dreams


Your heart is blind
I'm so unkind
 
Your (horrified?) heart is blind  


I waste my time
I waste my time


Until it’s alright
I'm sure it's alright


You tried to find
You'll try to find


Some world you’re mine
Some (words?) in your mind


A lovely time, it’s alright
'''(Verse 2)'''


Write a letter, it’s touched you
A lot of the time, it’s alright


Great it feels, not too hard
Write a letter, (it's for sure?)


But if I leave, forget all this?
(Greater dreams?) not too hard


Show me Eden, cover up
But if I need (to come?) to this


But in the dark, you’ll be undressed
So late leaving covered up
 
Until the dark, I'll be undressed


There is nothing truly there
There is nothing truly there


The life goes on
(The fight goes wild?)


Today, you’ll feel
'''(Chorus)'''


How bad can it build
Today, you'll (sear?)


I’m so angered
Heartbreak in your dreams


Your heart is blind
I'm so unkind
 
Your (horrified?) heart is blind  


I waste my time
I waste my time


Until it’s alright
I'm sure it's alright


You tried to find
You'll try to find


Some world you’re mine
Some (words?) in your mind


Today, you’ll feel
'''(Chorus 2)'''


How bad can it build
Today, you'll (sear?)


I’m so angered
Heartbreak in your dreams


Your heart is blind
I'm so unkind
 
Your (horrified?) heart is blind  


I waste my time
I waste my time


Until it’s alright
I'm sure it's alright
 
You'll try to find
 
Some sense in my eyes
