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 Martin Nethercutt.

Background

On November 1st, 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]
