Tension Rising In The Air, also known as "Tension In The Air" or "Tension," is a rock song uploaded by LORRAIN on November 1st, 2006.
Background
On November 1, 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]
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
The lyrics most commonly agreed upon are:
I'm feelin',
I'm close.
Somethin' spooky like the shade of a ghost.
There's a certain tension risin' in the air.
My head is achin'
Fingers wet
