This One's Gonna Fly
ⓘ This lostwave is classified as partially (un)solved.
Above The Clouds was a lostwave hoax, fabricated by kerlo on WatZatSong.
History
Above The Clouds was uploaded to WatZatSong on December 11, 2023. The OP of the song, Kerlo, claimed that the song came from a pirated Mr Peabody and Sherman DVD found in a blue pouch, estimating it to be dated 2014 or 2015. Kerlo would then upload a video of the DVD startup screen to his YouTube.
Many people who listened to the lostwave described it as “scary” or “ominous”.
One YouTube comment said that “the loudness of the guitar and overall stock feel of the song fills me to the brim with dread and primal fear … God my fear of this song has gotten so bad I just can’t bear to listen to it and have to mute the volume”.
An initial theory was that Paula Toledo was the same artist behind Above The Clouds.
After reviewing, Reddit user u/matty36749 concluded that the DVD menu was created with DVD styler.
Redditors also speculated that the song was irregularly pitched.
Discovery
On January 29, 2024, aholyman uploaded a snippet of the song on WatZatSong, then uploaded the entire song onto Vocaroo. Within 3 hours, the song was identified as “This One’s Gonna Fly” by Templeton Thompson.
On February 23, 2024, the sample was confirmed to be a hoax after a Redditor found that Kerlo had listened to Templeton Thompson just days before uploading the snippet. Kerlo confirmed this.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I lit the fuse on a love or two
That never left the ground
Started with a spark and then just fizzled out
We got enough of the right stuff
To rise above the clouds
So hold on tight ‘cause the way it’s looking now...
[Chorus]
This one's gonna fly high, I know it
Baby where we're going
The laws of gravity don't apply
This one's gonna fly like an eagle
Baby you and me will
Get to find out how it feels to touch the sky
This one's gonna fly, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Wood and strings and patchwork wings
Sure didn't look like much
Sittin' in a field in the Carolina mud
Yeah, and we got doubters' feet on the ground
They're sayin' it can't be done
They're laughin' now but won't they all be stunned
[Chorus]
Cause this one's gonna fly high, I know it
Baby where we're going
The laws of gravity don't apply
This one's gonna fly like an eagle
Baby you and me will
Get to find out how it feels to touch the sky
This one's gonna fly, high, high
Oh, yeah
This one's gonna fly
[Outro]
This one's gonna fly like an eagle
Baby you and me will
Get to find out how it feels to touch the sky
This one's gonna fly like a rocket
Nothing's gonna stop it
Just sit back, buckle up
Enjoy the ride, 'cause this one's gonna fly (fly)
Oh yeah (fly)
This one's gonna fly (fly)
Yeah, this one's gonna fly (fly)
Fly
