Although it may seem like the song originated from the dark corners of your own subconscious, it actually dates back to 1996. That year, the French New-Age music project
+eRa+ released their first song"Ameno." The song's intro is the source of the clip that's now gone viral on TikTok."Ameno," by the way, was actually a top 10 hit in France, Belgium and Sweden and charted in Germany and Iceland as well. Unsurprisingly, the song did not manage to make the trip over the Atlantic, but has lingered around the internet ever since. The altered version of the intro began to go viral in late 2020, and eventually arrived on TikTok in the middle of the pandemic in March. Its haunting power shows no signs of stopping.
The audio sounds like accidentally taking a wrong turn and walking into the middle of a very strange, but very serious occult ritual. But its versatility makes it something like the cursed cousin of thetheme song—a perfect musical cue for when things are just a little bit off, and unsettling so. Of course, it finds new resonance at a time when things are actually unsettling, and it does seem like half the people on your Facebook feed have joined some strange cult with bizarre logic.
If the song of the summer is supposed to be the soundtrack to our usual seasonal activities like pool parties and grilling, then"Ameno Dorime" is also the perfect soundtrack for how we're spending our time in 2020: holed up at home alone, lights out, incessantly scrolling through content on our phones at 2 a.m., until we reach the oddest corners the internet has to offer.
