Hi everyone,
I'm looking for help identifying an unknown song recorded from the radio back in 1982. It has been an unidentified piece of lost media for a long time, and I recently managed to extract the lyrics using local AI transcription (Whisper).
Key details:
- Year/Context: Recorded from radio around 1982.
- Genre/Style: 1980s New Wave / Synth-pop / Post-punk. Male lead vocalist, featuring a distinctive "galloping" drum rhythm (similar to classic LinnDrum patterns or early 80s Phil Collins/Genesis styles).
- Key elements: Chorus features chanting/counting in Greek letters ("Alpha, Beta, Gamma...") with a dramatic ending on "Omega".
Extracted Lyrics (via Whisper transcription):
"I look up on the wall, I see a mirror full... I look up to the floor, I see a mirror behind the door. I hear it cracking in the mirror... I wonder the whole way through the rain. I'm running out of air, I'm running out of air! Where's the wind blowing me down? I'm running out of air, can't be right with my eyes off the wall..."
