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. 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. 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 vocalist.
At the time, Michael was discovered to have been in a band called The Subjects, and the band had a song called “Paradise” which was initially viewed as plausible to be TRITA due to the lyrics in the hook of the song. However, this was debunked.
5 hours after the movie was found, a GEMA database listing was found featuring a Michael Hoffman de Boer song called “In Paradise”, which perfectly fit with the lyrics from the song.
Alongside this, searchers also got another name now; Martin Nethercutt, and a publishing company name to the song; Whitehouse Musikverlag. Interestingly, this company was made by Michael himself, and it was allegedly founded in 1988, which put the definitive date of the song between 1988 and 1991.
About 13 hours after the BMW snippet was posted, Martin Nethercutt himself confirmed that he sung TRITA. There are still 8-14 seconds of the song missing still as the song fades into the end of the movie.
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.[5] 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.[6]
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.[7]
Lyrics
| Presumed Lyrics |
| (Verse 1)
I'm feelin' I'm close Something spooky like the sheet of a ghost There's a certain tension rising in the air My head is achin' Fingers wet I placed the joker right on 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 try 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 still pray 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 (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 *fadeout* |
