Search History
The song was posted to WatZatSong by user Pace on April 17th, 2024. According to Pace, the song came from a cassette tape he purchased from a thrift store that had multiple other unidentified songs. There was an extended version of it on Vocaroo. A 39 second snippet was found, followed by a 1 minute and 13 second snippet.
In July of 2024, the song was found to be a hoax. This was found out after someone noticed that the vinyl crackling in another one of Pace’s former unknown songs was the exact same as a YouTube upload of the song. This meant Pace likely downloaded the audio from a YouTube video and the alleged tape didn’t actually exist.
Pace responded to these claims, and said whoever made the tape was likely trying to create a hoax on purpose, by finding clips of forgotten songs and cutting out the title, but this is unlikely.
On August 5th, 2024, the song was identified by user ¿ as Free For All by Wings Of Light. They solved the song after finding an upload of it on YouTube.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This world just keeps on spinning faster
On the edge, on the brink of disaster
[Chorus]
There is panic in the street, confusion from the heat, oh desire
Seems like everyone wants more, the headlines talk of war
As we're walking on a wire, in a free for all
Of the madness, can you hear his call
You don't need to fall, don't you know his love is free for all
[Verse 2]
Latest craze, dreams I've sent into a washer
Chasing pleasure with consuming devotion
[Bridge]
And the pressure of that life is cutting like a knife into the heart
You haven't time to lose, there's hardly time to choose
Before the world is torn apart, in a free for all
Of the madness, can you hear his call
You don't need to fall, don't you know his love is free for all
[Outro]
Free for all
Of the madness, can you hear his call
You don't need to fall, don't you know his love is free for all
In a free for all
Of the madness, can you hear his call
You don't need to fall, don't you know his love is free for all
