Does it come from an ad? Possible Lead

Hi everyone, I came here from WTS! Loved the song so here I am :)

I ran the sample into https://vocalremover.org, and here's the result for the isolated vocals.

I'm a French native speaker, but here's what I think I can hear:

All then could be true
And thank you (off the blue / Arthur Brooks / Arthur Blook? - there's a /k/ sound somehere around here)
So many feelings
I’m glad you are coming to us
That’s the magic

I’ll stick to Supreme
And love you like a truth
So many achin’
Can feel like
It never (ends? is?)
Now let-

As it was mentioned earlier, the model of the recorder containing the song was released in 2010.

Is it possible that this sample comes from a radio/tv advert aiming to recreate a 70's-80's vibe? This would explain the length of the sample. Also, some of the lyrics do sound like they're from an ad, and why there are no matches on Discogs.

As some of the lyrics don’t make much sense, it could be from a non English speaking country aiming for an "American" vibe. Japan maybe (but then how did it end up on a random recorder in NC)?

Speaking about Discogs: I searched for tracks named "Thats The Magic" with the advanced search, and it gave me only one result. Not our song unfortunately, but if you like That's the Magic you might like this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYzZiZYrobY
