Placed the joker and I’m top of the bet
 
There’s no need to wonder, used to (guess I should dare?)
 
Where will I find it?
 
A thousand miles from home
 
I'm approaching the altitude knowing that I'm on my own
 
'''(Pre Chorus)'''
 
So close, just one step to heaven
 
Don't hesitate
 
Just keep on course, you know
 
It's far too late
 
'''(Chorus)'''
 
Wheels turnin'
 
Hearts burnin'
 
Taking off, flying into paradise
 
She's cheatin'
 
Heart's beatin'
 
Just trying to make it right
 
Wheels turnin'
 
Hearts burnin'
 
Taking off, flying into paradise
 
Hmm, I'm takin' off tonight
 
Into paradise.
 
'''(Verse 2)'''
 
Still searchin'
 
You're still brave
 
That they won't find you at the end of the day
 
And you don't have to worry
 
It's a part of the plan
 
Who feels a lightning
 
Whoever gets the touch
 
Can we live without loving or feeling
 
It's just too much
 
'''(Pre Chorus)'''
 
So close, just one step to heaven
 
So don't hesitate
 
(Don't ever go?), you know
 
It's much too late

Hearts burnin'
 
Taking off, flying into paradise
 
She's cheatin'

Taking off, flying into paradise

Into Paradise, previously known as "Tension Rising In The Air” or just "Tension," is a solved rock/new wave song that was originally posted to WatZatSong by LORRAIN on November 1st, 2006. On July 23rd, 2024, It was identified as "Into Paradise" by Michael Hoffman de Boer and Martin Nethercutt.

Background

On November 1, 2006, the user LORRAIN posted a 15-second sample on WatZatSong. It went unnoticed for around sixteen years, and only became slightly popular around 2021, until it went widespread by q's video of the snippet on April 9th, 2023.[1]

The OP is known to be from France based on his previous WatZatSong submissions, and his username can be traced back to a Dailymotion[2] and YouTube[3] account named argentanboy that posted WW2 videos about the history of Argentan, France, predating the upload of the song.[4]

Discovery

On July 23rd, 2024, the song was found in two different commercials for the BMW Z3 Roadster from 1996.[5][6] On the same day, the original source of the snippet was discovered in a TV movie called Ausgetrickst from 1991, with the music credited to German film composer Michael Hofmann de Boer.[7][8][9]

According to the GEMA copyright database, the song "Into Paradise" is featured in the film, with Michael Hofmann de Boer as the writer and Martin Nethercutt as the vocalist.[10] Martin Nethercutt was contacted and confirmed that he was the singer of the song,[11] but does not have a copy of it.[12]

Former Theories

Action/War Movie Soundtrack Theory

The most common theory is that the song is from a war film or action movie similar to Top Gun based on the lyrics, the "plane" sound heard near the end, and LORRAIN's interest in war media.[13] It is assumed that LORRAIN possibly heard the song used as part of a soundtrack, be it a movie, an edit, or an ad, and stopped recording once the sound effect came in to capture the longest clear snippet free of dialogue and noise.[14]

Halloween/Ghost Theory

The song was uploaded the day after Halloween, so it's thought to be from a Halloween-themed movie, show, advertisement, or other media, possibly a decoration.[15]
