Wit & Wendy (formerly known as "Something That's Long Gone") is a solved lostwave by British indie-rock band Iris, which was first uploaded to WatZatSong by user Sherka in 2014

Background

On January 11th, 2014, the song was first posted by WatZatSong user Sherka, claiming that he recorded the song in 1993, and the post received no attention.[1]

The song first gained attention on August 15th, 2023, when it was reuploaded by YouTube user Mike Worst.[2] The song's filename was "93 fev side 54.mp3", so it was dated to February 1993 or earlier because the OP was French and Février means February in French.[3]

Discovery

On February 26th, 2024, Discord user marktrail discovered the song after purchasing several singles from a French seller on Discogs in an attempt to find songs posted by French WatZatSong poster CentralMuzik. The collection included an EP called Appendix by a British band called Iris, and they were able to identify the song as Wit & Wendy by Iris.[4][5]
