After over 15 years of being a musical mystery, one of the internet’s biggest enigmas has finally been solved. The elusive track, known as the “most mysterious song on the internet,” has been identified as “Subways of Your Mind” by the German band FEX.
The song first gained attention in 2007 when a user on a German music forum shared a recording of the track, asking for help in identifying it. Despite numerous attempts by internet sleuths and music enthusiasts, the song remained unidentified for over a decade.
The hauntingly catchy tune, with its synth-heavy sound and enigmatic lyrics, captured the curiosity of listeners around the world. Many theories and speculations arose, with some even suggesting that the song was a lost track by a famous band in disguise.
But after years of searching, the mystery was finally put to rest when a former member of FEX, a band from East Germany in the 1980s, came forward and confirmed that the song was indeed theirs.
According to the band’s former keyboardist, Uwe Haeberle, “Subways of Your Mind” was recorded in 1984 and was meant to be included in their debut album. However, due to financial constraints and the band’s eventual breakup, the album was never released, and the song remained unheard.
Haeberle also revealed that the song’s lyrics were inspired by the band’s experience of living in East Germany, where they often felt trapped and longed for a way out. This adds a deeper layer of meaning to the song’s title and lyrics, which previously puzzled listeners.
The discovery of the song’s origins has brought closure to the online community that has been tirelessly searching for its identity. It also serves as a testament to the power of the internet and the determination of music lovers to solve a decades-old mystery.
The band FEX may not have achieved mainstream success, but their song has now gained a cult following and will forever be remembered as the “most mysterious song on the internet.”
