Take the Time is an almost solved indie rock song that was found on a CD in 2004 or 2005. It's most likely On TV by Solamente, but proof and confirmation is needed.
Search History
The song was posted to WatZatSong on November 20th, 2023, by user btspin, along with posting the full song on Vocaroo. The description read:
"story goes that an Italian guy travelled around Hungary in 2004-5, playing music on streets and also distributing his CD. track was ripped from that CD. this is the only track I have although the CD had about 4 or 5"
On December 29th, 2023, the OP said they were the one that had the CD, but they'd lost it. They also said they ripped the CD to their MP3 files, but this was the only song they still had.
On January 3rd, 2024, the OP was asked if they remembered any cover art, writing, or a track listing on the CD and said the only additional information they had was the WMA file they exported the track to was created in July 2005.
But, later that day, they replied again, saying:
"Actually, something came into my mind: the expression "Sola mente", but I don't remember whether this was a CD title or stage name of the singer. But I am confident it was not a song title."
Three days later, the OP said they were pretty sure there was a space between sola and mente, but they weren't sure. They also said they got the CD in the city of Siófok.
On July 23rd, 2025, Discord user Shardanik discovered a MySpace page for a song called "On TV" by Solamente, presumably after searching the name on MySpace. The title matches the lyrics and the lenght is almost the same, but there's no confirmation as of now.
Presumed lyrics
[Verse 1]
Decide, decide for yourself in another time
Now is the time to reflect on why I’m against on another aggression
Media, media could change your right unto deciding
Media can change our minds
[Chorus]
Don’t want to see more bullshit on the media
They all feel that they will live under that bullshit
Don’t want to see more bullshit on the media
They all feel that they will live
Yes, that they will live under that bullshit
[Verse 2]
Take the time, the time
Try to understand what we’re doing on our lives
We’re not that natural […] that can’t decide [into] our minds
Media, media could change your right unto deciding
Media can change our minds
[Chorus]
Don’t want to see more bullshit on the media
They all feel that they will live under that bullshit
Don’t want to see more bullshit on the media
They all feel that they will live
Yes, that they will live under that bullshit
[Outro]
And I don’t believe in news on tv,
The news on, on TV
There’s a man in here […]
We have a dozen others who wait to know
Now, they’re waiting on this fucked up soil,
In this fucked up soil,
In this fucked up soil,
In this fucked up soil
