After years of searching, the most mysterious song on the internet has been identified.

Since 2007, folks have been trying to discover a song simply by an audio clip posted on the internet. An entire subreddit titled The Mysterious Song launched in 2019 to help bring more awareness to the hunt. Through some research, Reddit user marijn1412 managed to find out the mysterious song is “Subways Of Your Mind” by FEX. The reddit user stated this in a reddit post today:

So here's the story in short:

About two weeks ago I came across an old newspaper article in the Nordwest Zeitung archive, while researching Hörfest bands. The article was about a band called FEX from Kiel, who won a talent contest in Bremen in Sep 1984 and their music was described as Rock with Wave and Pop influences. It also mentioned their members and one of them I recognised from a Hörfest 83 band called Phret. I managed to get in touch with him and asked him if he still had some old material from those bands. He then sent me some of the songs he made with FEX and Phret... and lo and behold, one of them was titled Subways Of Your Mind. It's a slightly different version from the one we know: https://vocaroo.com/19NFyeqYi7Zj

After I emailed him back that the song is actually quite a famous "lost song", he asked me not to go public with it until he spoke with his old band members. In the mean time though the song did get registered at GEMA and people found out about it. But I'm happy to say that the band members agreed for me to go public with it. So here it is.

I'm sure there will be a lot of questions and I hope the band can answer these themselves in the future. I'm just glad and relieved the search is over.

The full version of “Subways Of Your Mind” by FEX can be heard on YouTube here. The band also announced plans to reunite and re-record the song in the future.
