After almost two decades of searching, and five years as a viral internet phenomena, the search for "The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet" may finally be over.
For years now, music fans have been attempting to track down the authorship of a forgotten new wave song which had been recorded off German radio in the mid-1980s. The search first began in 2007 when an internet user by the name of Lydia took to online forums to try and identify the song, which had been recorded to cassette by her brother Darius decades earlier.
However, on November 4th, Marijn1412, a user of the Reddit community dedicated to the search claimed that the song had been identified as Subways Of Your Mind by German band FEX.
According to the user, the song was discovered during research of contemporary German music event Hörfest, which FEX had been involved in. After contacting a member of the group, the song was reportedly confirmed as belonging to FEX, with the band member claiming a re-release was in the works.
