Into Paradise is a song by Michael Hoffmann & Martin Nethercutt, from 1991, of which a 15-second snippet was originally posted in 2006 on WatZatSong[1], with no additional info. It was known by its placeholder names "Tension Rising in the Air", "Tension Rising" or "TRITA". Since 2023, the snippet gained traction, and dedicated search hubs were created on Discord and Reddit.
On July 23, 2024, nearly 18 years after the song was first uploaded, a BMW Z3 Roadster ad from 1996 containing the snippet was found, and an extended version was also found shortly afterwards. Thanks to a copyright registry, the song was then discovered in full in the 1991 German TV movie Ausgetrickst. Martin Nethercutt later confirmed the song was his, also marking it as fully identified.
Backstory
On October 31st, 2006, WatZatSong user LORRAIN posted the snippet of the song, making it one of the earliest songs (the 90th in total) to be uploaded to the website[1]. The first comments were then made 23 days later. Users pianoman74 and prmusic coincided in thinking the song might be from an action film, although they never came to a definite answer.
For almost a decade and a half, the song didn't get any traction until around early-to-mid 2021 where more users began to show up on the discussion, and, despite several questions made towards LORRAIN about the origin of their recording, nothing has ever been disclosed by them. The only thing known for sure is that they posted another song on the same day as TRITA, which has been identified as "Paper Mask" by Richard Harvey from the Paper Mask soundtrack. A YouTuber named "q" would upload the snippet to YouTube on April 9th, 2023.
Lyrics
There are no known lyric lists. Due to the bad quality of the recording, everything is speculation. The lyrics most commonly agreed upon are:
I'm feelin',
I'm close.
Somethin' spooky like the shade of a ghost.
There's a certain tension risin' in the air.
My head is achin'
Fingers wet.
There are other interpretations, such as:
- "[...]my hands are shakin', Feeling sweat".
Theories
Soundtrack Theory
Dating back to 2006, user pianoman74 mentioned: "@what is for sure is that it must be from an 80s action flick." prmusic followed with "no clue - even if it sounds a bit like 'Danger Zone' from Top Gun. It's not - I know... but yes - typically 80ies."
Users quickly began to notice what sounds like a sound effect placed over the song near the end of the snippet, with the user jopezum commenting: "hmmmm im pretty convinced that this is like an old action anime opening or something like that." and "If you listen carefully, before the end you can hear the sound effect (airplane engine or "zoom in" effect)"
It is assumed here that LORRAIN possibly heard the song used as part of a soundtrack, be a movie, an edit or an ad, and stopped recording once the sound effect came in -leaving the song unhearable.
Ghost-themed theory
Some users commenting in q's upload to youtube agreed that the song might have been from a ghost-themed show of the 90s, with some others pointing out the show "Ghost Train" as a possible source.
