Adam Dahlberg, better known as NetNobody, is a former Minecraft YouTuber SkyDoesMinecraft who announced on July 6th, 2017, that he was quitting Minecraft videos and transitioning into making music instead. Since then the content across his many YouTube channels including, NetNobody (now Nobody Records), Sky Does Everything (formerly Sky Did Minecraft and Adam), and Sky VS Gaming (Formerly Adam VS Gaming), has changed throughout the years with the removal of many songs and videos occurring in the process, leading some to become lost.

Music Release and Removal

On May 7th, 2017 Adam released his first songs on his Soundcloud account under the name Nobody. These songs were Psycho Society, Sounds, MC Millionaire, Drink, and Untitled. The following day, May 8th, Adam announced on his Sky VS Gaming channel that his music had been released.[1] The following day he would release the songs Gum Girl, Insomniac (Darker Times).[2] Later, on May 23rd, Drowning would be released on Soundcloud. Drink and Sounds would eventually have lyric videos published to the NetNobody YouTube channel. These songs were all considered "unfinished" by Adam and were mainly released to show off his musical capabilities before fully transitioning out of Minecraft content. In June of 2017, Gum Girl became the first song to be removed, for reasons unknown. Sometime in early July of 2017, Untitled and Insomniac (Darker Times) would also be removed for unknown reasons. All of Adam's songs up to this point were produced by Jason Probst, known on the internet as Jazzy Eff or TruMU, a Minecraft YouTuber who had made videos with Adam for years prior to his music. On January 1st, 2018, Adam removed any music Jason was involved with, besides Drowning, which would be removed on a later date. When asked about this on Twitter, in a now-deleted Tweet, he insinuated that his ex-girlfriend Alesa had been cheating on him with Jason when they were still together. There have since been a few incidents where Adam has addresses this vaguely, such as a video uploaded June 1st, 2020, titled ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS! (Team Crafted, Sky Media, Mental Health, etc.) in which he states Jason did something "some people would find unforgivable."[3] Adam has never mentioned the songs ever returning and rarely talks about them in general. Besides the songs produced by Jason, there have been a few other NetNobody songs that have been removed for various reasons but were reuploaded quickly after they were removed. The songs Psycho and Mirror were removed from all platforms, and both Maui Moon and Follow Me were removed from YouTube along with their music videos, but kept up on other platforms such as Soundcloud. The songs Happy, Pull Me Down and Hiding were removed from Soundcloud, but kept public on all other platforms. The song Communicate by WATSON featured NetNobody, but was removed from all platforms. Communicate was at no point lost due to reuploads.

Untitled and Insomniac (Darker Times)

After the removal of songs produced by Jason, many songs were saved from being lost due to reuploads both before, and shortly after they were deleted by various people. Out of the eight songs, Gum Girl, Untitled, and Insomniac (Darker Times) were completely lost. On May 27th, 2018, YouTube user yOuNg NoBoDy found and uploaded Gum Girl, and sometime in Early 2020, Adam himself unprivated the song on his Soundcloud.[4] In a video posted to his Sky Does Everything channel on May 30th, 2020, titled REACTING TO MY OLD MUSIC!, when referring to Gum Girl Adam states, "I just recently unprivated that one because it was just so funny that I had to put it back out." In the same video, before playing a twenty-two-second clip of Untitled, he states "I instantly removed this one. You'll understand." After Untitled, he then plays thirteen seconds of Insomniac (Darker Times). On February 21st, 2021, a link to an unlisted YouTUbe live stream was found. The stream originally went live on October 23rd, 2019, and was unlisted that same day. During the stream, all NetNobody songs are shuffle-played in the background, including the deleted songs.[5] Both Untitled and Insomniac (Darker Times) are played, but with the people in the stream talking over them the entire time. In the following days of the stream's rediscovery, more unlisted live stream links were found, with multiple having the songs played in the background at some point. During one of these streams when Insomniac is being played in the background, a viewer asks Adam in the chat what the song playing was. Adam responds by saying: 'This song is called Insomniac by NetNobody. Somebody has reuploaded it somewhere, I'm sure."[6] This reply means it is likely he was not aware of the two songs being lost at the time. Two different YouTube channels, NetNobody Archive and NetNobody Vault, attempted to recreate the songs using clips from the live streams. About a month after the reconstructions had been uploaded, the songs were finally found completely on March 25th, 2021. YouTube user w_o_r_s_t_g_u_y commented on one of Another Archive's videos claiming to have both of the songs. After reading this article, he realized that the songs were lost and that he had them. Shortly after his comment, both Untitled and Insomniac (Darker Times) were both uploaded to his channel, complete with high quality.
