At Night (previously known as "Waiting For The Countdown") is a solved new-wave song first uploaded to the New Wave Outpost forums in 2012 by user Guglielm. On December 8th, 2024, it was identified as "At Night" by Strike.
Background
On August 23rd, 2012, the song was first posted to the New Wave Outpost forums by user Guglielm as part of a collection of lost songs, but it did not gain much traction.[1]
On July 16th, 2013, Guglielm uploaded the song to WatZatSong,[2] but it did not receive much attention, so he reuploaded it on August 6th, 2014, stating in his post that the song was internally tagged as Waiting for a Come Down.[3] Based on the OP's other found songs, this song was most likely recorded between 1980 and 1984, and recorded from the WFMU New Jersey radio station.[4]
According to WatZatSong user tyx, the song features an Oberheim DMX drum machine, which was manufactured between 1980 and 1985.[5]
On June 10th, 2023, YouTube user NY80sTapes posted another recording of the song from a compilation of radio snippets, which is assumed to have been recorded from the same broadcast on WFMU in 1983.[6]
Discovery
On December 5th, 2024, Discord user aidnic discovered a band called "Strike" that aired on WFMU with similar vocals and musical style to the lost song.[7][8] 3 days later, Discord user AzureBlast contacted band member John Costa who confirmed it was their song.

Lyrics
| Presumed Lyrics |
| (Verse 1)
We start to shake, we feel the change from the inside We concentrate, we shoot the stars after midnight Back to the park once again (in a go-go land?) (Cheap swing?) at the talking kings once again (and the downdeep blast?) Lookin' for a new example We know we cannot change the world The walls outside can tumble, but I I don't think we care (Chorus) Everybody's looking for the in-crowd (at night) Everybody's waiting for the countdown (at night) (Verse 2) Spin out, the party boys again Like a team, we play the scene again Following the active pressure Dancing in the jagged light Pretty, pretty (portion?), with a Synthetic mind I get confused (Chorus) Everybody's looking for the in-crowd (at night) Everybody's waiting for the countdown (Bridge) Waiting, waiting... Waiting, waiting Waiting (Chorus) Everybody's looking for the in-crowd Everyone is waiting for the countdown Everybody's looking for the in-crowd Everyone is waiting for the countdown Everybody's looking for the in-crowd Everyone is waiting for the countdown Everybody's looking for the in-crowd Everyone is waiting for the countdown Everybody's looking for the in-crowd |
