Bravely

Try To Smile Again is a solved lostwave.

Background

It was originally posted in 2004 by Oskar, to Marek's website.

On March 20, 2005, Marek uploaded the song onto Spirit Of Radio. He also uploaded it onto his forum, "Italodiscoestonia".

In 2009, another user uploaded it to Spirit Of Radio with limited success.

In 2022, it was misattributed as Touzent-Lost And Found (1987), until it was proven false. At the end of 2023 it was misattributed to an unknown group called "Нечто".

On February 14, 2024, an extended recording was uploaded by Oskar, who claimed to have recorded it in Estonia, circa the 1990s.

On February 25, 2024, u/regingryzor contacted Martin Jaanus. Martin would later reply that he strongly believes the song was one of Sven Lõhmus' early productions back when he and his brother made a band called "Beatboy". Martin also attached link to a song called Girl.

Discovery

On February 26th 2024, the song was identified as "Bravely" by Beatboy, confirmed by the songwriter himself - and on February 27th, the full song was posted after Discord user Mystic65 found it on the Soulseek network.
