  yeah it dosen't seem true as archive.org has a snapshot of the page 23 hours after posting and the only comment is the second half of the lyrics of the known version

  I mean, I'm still not sure if that thing with the third sample is even true given that the first time I'm hearing of it is now despite following this for months. I was more thinking if it's possible to find it with inspect element or the wayback machine or something like that, but I guess we're at a loss. At the very least it should be possible to find the sequence of events, right? Like how it pops up on the right of the site when a sample has been edited recently.Personally, I'm not tech savvy enough to look out for things like that.

  I hope with new site re-design that will happen it will finally allow users to upload a longer sample, and maybe it will show everyone who ever posted a sample that cut to 30 seconds to a longer minute, this is not me bitching "WZS BAD" this is just me being optimistic.

  Sadly they don’t have it and can help us with that thing.

  the founder of WZS is french, and he already helped on some songs. as i'm french, and if anyone didn't contacted him yet, i can try to send him an email. but i doubt that they keep ALL the edited audio.

  Levi_Fri, 06 Sep 2024 21:55

  That is a very smart idea (no this isn't dumbass comment to insult) due to this info that the OP edited the sample 3 times it has to be on database of WZS, I believe contacting the admins about this wouldn't be a bad move and could possibly maybe have the full longer sample.

  chaoswaveFri, 06 Sep 2024 21:26

  Interesting. Is there no way to obtain samples that at some point have been published to the site? Like a database or something. The admins probably have it but I doubt they'd be interested in sending it. Worst case it's part of what we've heard, best case it could give more clues. I don't really understand the timeline of these 3 audio clips, but if the missed one was within a short timeframe it could've been a good clue toward finding the song (if we go by the hoax theory). Is that person the only one that could corroborate the existence of a third sample though?

  SkabeFri, 06 Sep 2024 17:17

  I contacted the user who had combined the 2 audio files (the one before editing and the one after editing, 45 seconds in all) and he told me that there was a first one that he hadn't been able to save.

  chaoswaveFri, 06 Sep 2024 13:34

  OP edited the sample three times? What? That's new information to me. I thought he only posted the original sample and edited it once and we combined these two? Where'd you figure out that it's been edited three times?

  SkabeWed, 04 Sep 2024 18:42

  The OP posted several clips of the sound using the edit option. The 45-second clip we have is from a user who combined the two clips they managed to download (before the OP edited them). We know that the OP edited the "sample" at least three times, and if we had been able to archive everything, we would have a little over a minute of recording.

  Levi_Wed, 04 Sep 2024 18:34

  you misunderstood what I said, I am aware there is a 44 second version of it (and obviously WZS at most can put up 30 seconds) my question is how do we have that??? the OP has never provided the longer sample so the question is where did we get it.

  May230Wed, 04 Sep 2024 18:26

  The one we have now is the longer sample...

  Levi_Wed, 04 Sep 2024 18:22

  Anyone have an idea how the song we have is 44 seconds long however the OP hasn't posted a longer sample, I seen people say "The OP moved the post hence the timing" but going through wayback machine it doesn't seem to be the case.

  thing is I never decide if I think this is hoax or not, this OP reuploaded a now solved lostwave so he definitely knows about lostwave and lost songs and maybe he found this song somewhere no one could find and decided to hoax a lostwave for attention, problem is if this is a hoax I believe the OP would do what Kerlo (Above The Sky OP and Hoaxer) and other "gatekeeping song" OPs do, with this one it doesn't seem to be the case seemingly OP vanished even after this song got "forgotten" he didn't return which is what most hoaxers do when their hoax loses attention, which leads me to this if this is a hoax what is the OP trying to a accomplish if is not why did he not give any info at all besides a vague "I got this on a blog" even if it isn't a hoax it certainly is suspicious.

  ZeroformFri, 06 Sep 2024 13:33

  The song is real. But OP probably knew the name since the start of it, and just waiting for something. Anyway, we don’t have enough proof to confirm it. So 50/50 situation.

  i don't think it is a fake song. but yes, op is gatekeeping it and it's sad.

  why do you think it's fake ?

  They are:

  "O how I labour for a life

  Better than the one I'm livin'"

  pizzarolls2Thu, 05 Sep 2024 03:18

  Thank you! reason I asked in first place was due to Wayback Machine not showing one where it's at different timing, anyways thank you.

  I know my Dad has lots of rare cd and vinyls so I will probably ask him about it and look through them all and hope I can find anything like that song and I will give you an update soon if I find anything similar to the song and this song is a banger

  the previous lyrics before the snippet played could possibly rhyme with "pain" and "lip", any thoughts on this?

  Is there anything in the instruments that could suggest a max year? Or are we still just guessing at 2000s and 2010s?
