Hello, chums! I just wanted to share with you all my cover of the hauntingly beautiful and (sadly) unreleased song, A View from the Top.

It's one of my absolute favourites by Coldplay, but I always hated the terrible sound quality and disagreed with the weird lyric interpretations. So I decided to cover it myself to give people (and myself!) something to listen to that slightly more resembles the original song. I intensely studied the lyrics for a week and think I'm much closer than anything I've previously seen. I'm afraid I'm no Chris Martin, but I genuinely hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think!

Here's my cover of the notoriously terrible quality mysterious song known as “Lostwave August 2019”, or “LWA19” for short. Originally uploaded by a Reddit user named ‘IntelligentBread5’ on 11th August 2019 on r/Lostwave. He claimed to have bought a tape at a market 11 years previously, probably in the North of England. LWA19 was on this tape. The quality was abysmal. Various theories and questions came as interest in the tape peaked. However, ‘IntelligentBread5’ deleted their Reddit account before any answers could be found. Since then, various people have been committed to trying to find the original audio source of LWA19.

Hello!

I'm currently in the process of saving up for a brand new, much better PC, and am nearing the end of saving. It's been about 5 years since I built my current PC and it's definitely starting to feel old.

I've compiled a list on PC Part Picker. Hoping to run the latest games smoothly, as well as using my PC for audio editing in Cubase Pro.

Aside from the fact that GPUs aren't currently easily available, is this looking OK? Is there anything I should swap or consider changing? I am aware that the power supply is probably overkill, is that a problem?

I was planning on transferring my current HDD and SSDs as well, but starting with a fresh version of Windows. I was also considering

Hello. I have a 2005 Suzuki Swift 1.2 petrol car, based in the UK. Recently, I was driving a friend to pick up his new car, a good 4 hour or so drive. My engine kept overheating when in high revs, such as uphill, before returning to normal when the engine wasn't straining. At one particularly steep hill, the engine temperature went off the scale, in the red. I noticed an odd smell and a bit of smoke from the exhaust. I quickly pulled over and the engine was soaked. The coolant had been completely emptied. I ended up calling the RAC, who told me that they thought there may be an issue with the head gasket causing pressure in the coolant. He said the engine was quite simple though, and wouldn'

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to know if this is just some generic bush or something, or if it's something more interesting. I live in the south of England, United Kingdom. Not really noticed it before as this end of the garden was a bit untamed... It's opposite some buddleia which is growing nicely, if a bit overgrown. Then, nothing but vines and weeds! Feel free to ask my any questions if required. Many thanks!

Hello!

I really like this song, it's been in my head constantly since hearing it! I ended up getting annoyed that it was only a minute long and such low quality. In an attempt to satisfy my ridiculous needs, I have made a cover version. Please do check it out and let me know what you think!

Really hoping we can find the original.

Hello all,

A while ago, I shared a SoundCloud link to a cover version I made of the Mysterious Song. You guys seemed to like it, which made me happy! Seeing recent discussions has inspired me to go back to my recording and tweak it some more. Mainly due to finding out the exact Synth that was used by the Unknown Band/Artist. (Yamaha DX-7). I have now uploaded the updated version to YouTube, with updated synth sounds and corrected levels and mastering. In my opinion, it is a very faithful recreation of the original sound, as originally intended. I recorded it all myself. (Although the drums were programmed in manually, as I can't actually play drums...) The vocals are the only thing that I f
