UPDATE: In June 2022, we had confirmation from various sources, including the original creator of the song, that it was actually called "Little Islands" by a German band called "The Gallery". The band had since broken up and later re-formed as "Stjarna". Lead singer Gunnar was shocked to learn of the interest in the song, especially as it was officially unreleased. Gunnar informed us that there were actually a number of unreleased songs from "The Gallery". They were later released in a long lost tracks compilation album called "Garage Millennials".

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
Here's my cover of 'So Totally Insane', featuring backup vocals from BSP!
‘So Totally Insane’, sometimes called ‘Side By Side’ or ‘Pleasure Ride’, is a mysterious alt-rock song of obscure origin. It was originally uploaded to KZfaq by Xavier Tauzin (AKA 'mrgein') on February 27th, 2009. Prior to uploading, Tauzin had posted a request to identify the song on the Ultimate Metal forum, but this did not produce any results. He sadly passed away in 2013 with the song still unidentified.
It has been speculated that the file originated from filesharing sites, but confirming the true origin of the song has proved difficult.
I had wanted to cover this song for a while and had previously spoken with fellow KZfaqr/Mysterious song Cover Artist, BSP, about potentially doing a collaboration. This song seemed like the perfect choice for our first song together! Please do check out BSP's channel for more mysterious songs and mysterious covers at the following link:

As always, if you happen to recognise this song, or the original, please do let me know! I hope you enjoy :)

Interpreted Lyrics:
See what you did to me
It never felt so easy, felt so free
Too long I have been married to the grave
But didn't earn how much I gave, I gave
So totally insane
Hopeless passion rules the game
Soft and tender through the night
We're doubtin' side by side
So totally insane
You're the one to take the blame
For the sadness that I hide
Became our pleasure ride
On here my own I want to stay
Come rescue me from today
Your smile's the prettiest inside this town
It makes me want you, kiss my frown
See what you did to me
It never felt so easy, felt so free
That's why I'm with you near, until I'm dead
Don't care for what your neighbor said, all night
So totally insane
Hopeless passion rules the game
Soft and tender through the night
We're doubtin' side by side
So totally insane
You're the one to take the blame
For the sadness that I hide
Became our pleasure ride
