looking for a deleted song
EDIT: I FOUND IT!!!!
In the cached data for the video ID it still had the uploaders channel name, who I managed to find on tiktok via duckduckgo. Since I didn't have an account I asked my friend to send them a message and I ended up getting the instrumental!! It is made as an edit by @lunaar_63 on tiktok and I'm extremely happy and surprised that this all worked out! They told me to credit them which I will definitely do when the animation comes out and if anyone would like to also use this I would ask you to do the same, out of kindness.
I hope that we transfer links stay working for a longer period of time but if not, feel free to comment here or send me a message on reddit, twitter or discord if you need it (or ask lunaar)
I'm trying to find an instrumental version of Year of Silence that was recently deleted from YouTube since the uploader got copyright striked one too many times.
I still have the link but that won't be of much help of course. Unlike other uploads on YT, which have the vocals very poorly removed, this one sounded very clean and close to how the original would have probably sounded. Does anyone here by any chance have this?
A video I found while searching for a reupload was this one that also links to the dead link but I feel I'm out of luck pretty much, so I thought I'd try here. I'm working on an animatic at the moment where the instrumental would have been the perfect fit and now I wish I had downloaded this earlier...
Edits: Soundcloud, Tumblr and a lot of searches for the Karaoke version of the song turned up nothing thus far. I'd tried to contact two uploaders that had the instrumental playing in the background (person 1) (person 2) but both say that they have deleted the file by now. I've gone through a few mega archives since then (like 4), but I'm pretty unfamiliar with tracking more of those links down.
Edit 2: No luck on mega or gdrive links sadly, most just lead to the already available songs and a few that never got an official release. Maybe I should just look for a replacement song for the animatic
Edit 3: I found a tiktok account that is most likely owned by the same person as the channel that got copyright striked and taken down. I reached out to them, maybe they'll respond
