Dreams 4ever, previously known as La Cancion De Alicia, Under The Stars or abbreviated as LCDA, is a recently solved lostwave.

History

LCDA was uploaded onto various Facebook groups before July 3, 2021. The lostwave snippet was uploaded along with an edit of Alice In Wonderland.

Jitomate Triste was the original poster, but they were banned shortly after posting for unknown reasons. This drastically shot down the chances of finding the song, as Jitomate was no longer there to answer any questions.

On July 3, 2021, Daniel Gutierrez uploaded a screen recording of Jitomate Triste’s post on Facebook group “Lost Media Perdidos Posting”.

The video would be reuploaded onto YouTube days later.

On May 16, 2024 an announcement on Reddit was posted saying that LCDA had been found when the OP of the Reddit post’s friend had said they were friends with one of the band members that is part of the band Bad Influence (now known as “Best Promotions”). A video was found on Facebook showing a live performance of the song by the band. Currently, the band has been contacted about the song, and we are awaiting a response.

The Search and Current Leads

The search began gaining traction in September of that year. As a community began forming, it became widely thought that the singer is not a native English speaker and most likely has a Spanish accent. This opens the possibility of the song being from a Spanish-speaking country, like Argentina, Chile, Spain and many more.

Ricardo Mendes of Gin & Tonic initially became a big lead, and one of the members of the lostwave community would reach out to him, asking if he recognized LCDA. Ricardo responded that he had never heard it before, but that he would love to make a cover of it for the community. Later down the line, Richard Mendez would release his cover of “La Cancion De Alicia” on his channel, @richardvox, naming the song “Under The Stars”.

In his short documentary on the lostwave, @YbxrdsGaming on YouTube said that “apart from a slight change in accent, the song sounded almost identical to the original snippet”.

The search began to slow down. @YbxrdsGaming says that “Richard’s cover of the song was so good that some people in the community just gave up on the search and settled with Richard’s Under The Stars”.

The part of the community that still wanted to find the original song instead began looking into the edit the song was set to. Most of the gifs were identified to be taken from tumblr in the early-to-mid 2010s, as trippy Alice In Wonderland edits were widely circulated there due to the site's culture of aesthetic blogs. Current leads involve trying to find similar versions of the full edit posted on the internet before the original song was uploaded.

Lyrics

When I see your face in the darkest night,

I just wanna be only one that change your mind,

But my life is real, not a simple dream,

Then remembering that love is a misery,

Oh please,

Let me be this boy

Who you’ll never forgot

I won’t close my eyes,

But somebody wake me up

oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh

oh, oh ,oh, oh,

Yeahhhhh!

Look at me in the eyes,

Are you gonna stay by my side?

And spend the night together,

together,

together under the stars.

Nobody knows,

You could be the first and the last,

Should we last forever?

forever?

I’ll make you only mine.

Look at me in the eyes,

Are you gonna stay by my side?

And spend the night together,

together,

together under the stars.
