"Second Wind" is an unidentified song believed to have been recorded in the mid-1980s. It gained attention online after a 24-second snippet of the song, at the time unidentified, was posted on the music identification website WatZatSong in 2024. The song is characterized by its synthpop style and poor audio quality, which suggests it was recorded on amateur equipment.
Discovery The snippet was uploaded to WatZatSong by a user known as fryguyguy124, who claimed to have discovered the recording on a CD labeled "unknown songs." According to fryguyguy124, the song was originally recorded on a cassette tape in 1994 by his father while riding an elevator in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. The tape was later transferred to a CD around 2003 or 2004 and digitized in 2021.
User's Statement In his original post, fryguyguy124 wrote:
"Mid 80s, Bad Quality. I found this on a CD in a box labeled unknown songs, audio most likely recorded in 1994, probably put on CD in 2004. I don't know what it is. I tried Shazam and SoundHound but they didn't work."
He also provided an interpretation of the song's lyrics and shared a Vocaroo link to the full song.
Song Characteristics Genre: Synthpop
BPM: 136
Key: A Major (Alternative Key: 11B)
Audio Quality: The recording is described as having poor audio quality, typical of an amateur recording from the 80s or 90s. The song features a characteristic 80s synth-pop sound, with a blend of electronic instruments and synthetic beats.
Lyrics Interpretation Due to the rough audio quality, parts of the lyrics remain unintelligible. However, the following lines have been interpreted by fryguyguy124 and other listeners:
> "Popular word to try to kiss me, yeah. Took a breath to wait against this guy in lights, (Unintelligible) tomorrow, (Unintelligible) Burglar, in general, Thought I'd catch my second wind to start my fight. Just saying, I'm no longer proud. Fire, Fire, take me. Our fire. I've been waiting for the re-up of my life. We take fire, fire, memories. Ah! Fire, (Unintelligible). (Unintelligible) 2 weeks ago, (Unintelligible) stoned. (Unintelligible) just a tip. (Unintelligible). Fire, fire, fire, (Unintelligible). I mean, Fire, Fire, take me. Our fire. Tearing into my grooves, (Unintelligible) fire, fire, fire! Fire, fire, fire, fire! (Unintelligible). Fire! Fire! (Unintelligible). Fire! Fire! I've been waiting for the re-up of my life."
Theories and Speculation The mysterious nature of "Second Wind" has led to various theories and speculations regarding its origins:
AI-Generated Music Some speculate that the song might be an AI-generated creation. This theory stems from the unique circumstances of its discovery and the modern-day technology used to digitize and share it. AI tools have become increasingly sophisticated and are capable of generating music that mimics different styles and eras, adding to the plausibility of this theory.
Lost Media Others believe that "Second Wind" could be a piece of lost media, similar to other well-known cases like "Ulterior Motives" (EKT) and "Subways of Your Mind" (also known as "Like the Wind"). These songs remained unidentified for years before finally being recognized, and "Second Wind" could potentially follow a similar path. The concept of lost media has always intrigued the online community, and the possibility that this song is another hidden gem waiting to be discovered adds to its allure.
Initial Reactions Although "Second Wind" has not yet garnered widespread attention, the few who have come across it have found its backstory and sound intriguing. The song's unique origin story—allegedly recorded in an iconic location like the North Tower of the World Trade Center—adds an element of historical significance that has piqued the curiosity of listeners.
Online Presence The song has a limited online presence, primarily confined to the WatZatSong platform and a few music forums where users discuss unidentified songs and lost media. The original poster, fryguyguy124, continues to hope that someone will eventually recognize the song and provide more information about its origins.
Conclusion "Second Wind" remains an enigma in the world of music, with its origins and artist still unknown. While it has not yet attracted a large following, the song's compelling backstory and mysterious nature have captivated those who have encountered it. The search for answers continues, and as more people become aware of "Second Wind," the likelihood of its true identity being uncovered increases.
The journey to unravel the mystery of "Second Wind" highlights the enduring fascination with lost media and the collective effort of music enthusiasts to preserve and rediscover forgotten pieces of musical history. Whether it turns out to be an AI-generated track, a long-lost song, or something entirely different, "Second Wind" serves as a testament to the power of curiosity and the relentless pursuit of knowledge.
