Back To Bed, abbreviated as B2B or BTB is an identfied lostwave, solved as "John Snow - Brighter Days" by Belfour20
History
A 30-second snippet of B2B was uploaded to WatZatSong on April 29, 2011, by user daqva. He claims that he recorded it off of Y-Rock, Philadelphia. Y-Rock was broadcasting under that name from 2006 to 2010, narrowing date possibilities.
The sample went unnoticed for well over a decade, until it was met with a new wave of interest beginning in early 2023. By the time that happened, daqva had already been inactive for nearly 12 years, and showed no signs of coming back.
john45290 commented “crazy how this post just got lost and op uploaded this in 2011. nearly 12 years ago. wow”
One lead was that the song was actually from Chris Hornby’s Freshly Grounded Man album, song name being “Too Many Things Have Already Been Said”. This cannot be proven or disproven because the song is currently unavailable to listen to, but Chris’ voice sounds quite different.
Redditors have found archives of Y-Rock’s website, but could not find B2B.
A “Y-Rock Interview” on YouTube (included in external links) has become something of interest. Some claim that one of the people sound similar to the B2B singer.
Another theory is that B2B is “In The Morning” by capybara.
Discovery
On May 20th, Belfour20 was searching the Y-Rock archived playlists and discovered that the full song was on there after all. The song's real name was "Brighter Days" by John Snow.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every morning
Same old, same old
Can’t stand the morning sun
With those disciplined people
Early out for their run at five in the morning
What will be the use of this day
[Chorus]
I might as well go back to bed
Too many rainy days
Still searching for a glimpse of where happiness lies
But I’ll see brighter days
[Verse 2]
Suffocated in surround
By mechanical people
My mind is occupied with answers I can’t seem to find
So I wonder as I wander
Is this by some shape or design
Or am I wired a different way?
[Chorus]
I might as well go back to bed
Too many rainy days
Still searching for a glimpse of where happiness lies
But I’ll see brighter days
[Bridge]
(I can't figure out what they're saying here)
[Verse 3]
Every morning
Same old, same old
[Chorus]
Too many rainy days
Still searching for a glimpse of where happiness lies
But I’ll see brighter days
Too many rainy days
Still searching for a glimpse of where happiness lies
But I’ll see brighter days
