Every (in my opinion) big lost media got found: EKT, the backrooms, celebrity number six, and now the holy grail, the most mysterious song on the internet
I find it funny how the main reason we never find these old songs is because the bands are totally unaware of their internet cults. I believe in the future the amount of major lost songs will shrink because we're also slowly becoming more online.
That is true, but I think sadly we’ll always find new ways to lose track of media. Not every website lasts forever, you can post a song to a site and have it disappear without even noticing. Lost songs will be rarer, but as a result they’ll be a lot harder to find
@@arandompasserby7940 The archive is dying, actually. The internet is losing a lot of media, every day, because large companies have bought most of the internet.
the original post was made in like 2007, so just under 20 years for one person. For the rest of us it’s been almost like 2 years and it mostly exploded after MyHouse.wad. Still very impressive, but rather due to how quick people were able to pinpoint something with so little information to go off of.
@@sandrafaith I tried to be helpful in my comment. No insults, no hate, no nothing, and all love but RUclips still deletes my comments. What is the deal with RUclips deleting comments randomly. I fear this one will disappear too
Wow. I honestly thought this one would never get found. Feels almost bittersweet. Sure there are still plenty of lost/unidentified media cases, and new mysteries will always keep popping up, but I have a hard time believing one will captivate the internet in the way this one did. Absolutely amazing.
A video about this song is what actually got me into the lost media side of youtube Like I'm not motivated enough to search for lost media myself but I really enjoy listening to how far people will go just to find something that would have gone completely forgotten if it weren't for a couple people remembering and looking for it
imagine being a small local artist like 40 years ago, more of a hobby that paid petrol money. You left it all behind, and had a career as an accountant, or an inusrance underwriter. Then you get an emila saying that hundreds of thouands of people love your song and have spent 20 years actively trying to find out where to listen. The boost you'd get knowing it had such a wide audience from a little project you did in your 20s
Ture Rückwardt, the guitarist of the band, at least is actually still a professional musician, pretty well known locally. He mostly plays and composes for a bunch of theater stuff. As a kid, he was my guitar teacher, so this whole situation feels super surreal to me.
This is it, lostwave peaked here. Nothing will ever top this moment right here. I thought EKT was already the peak, and we'd just accept that LTW is just a dead-end lostwave with no leads whatsoever, but nope, I was wrong.
There was a band called Machina, they were U of M students. One of their songs is called Feel My Finger. Instead of guitar they used a distorted trumpet. They had an amazing album, someone please please please find it. Ive looked everywhere.
Aye thanks for mentioning this. I've had a few google searches and nothin so far. My best guess is to possibly get in touch with a few of the professors there and ask them if they remember the band. Hope this helps 👍
It was lovely to be a part of discovering this mystery. Found so many great bands, scenes and genres through the search. Can't wait to see how this entire story ends...
It’s so weird that songs and TV shows can just disappear. Someone wrote this, someone made this. the person who made that song is probably still out there, and no one knows.
Honestly, you’d be surprised how many bands just sorta get together, record a few songs, and then breakup. Lostwave has always been a surprising thing to me as someone who’s been in the local music scene, because the sheer volume of insignificant forgotten music is much larger than you’d expect. Nowadays things don’t typically get lost with the internet being the primary place to host music, but back in the day people would print to CD or tape and things were very easily forgotten.
I remember being like 11 when I first heard about this search, I’m 17 now. Whenever lost media gets discovered there’s always this weird happy feeling, I don’t know how to describe it but it is a feeling I love. Happy to see this finally found.
My literal, verbatim reaction to seeing the title of this video: "WOAH WOAH WOAH HOLD THE FUCK UP *immediately checks Reddit, furious it hadn't shown up on my homepage*"
Fun fact: the mysterious model/celebrity on that special celebrities wallpaper pattern, she was also found recently too. So two of the biggest pieces of media with unknown mysteries surrounding them have been solved in 2024.
Duuuude... Everyone Knows That was found, Celebrity No. 6 was found, and now the Subways of Your Mind. This really is the best year for long-lost media.
@aleksyssubmaker2745 Yeah, my brother... one tape with her and one BBC... and no, I do not speak about the popular British TV channel! 😂😂😂 But do not try to watch it now because it is the Evil month of November when these things are forbidden! 😂😂😂
As a metalhead I can assure you that I found plenty of obsecure or pretty underrated musics that never get the attention it truly deserved. And no I am not specifically and exclusively refering to death metal.
@@SKY_252 Well there's Dokken's Tooth and Nail, Dokken isn't really an obsecure band but they're one of my childhood favourite bands. And I think they're really underappreciated, Tooth and Nail is my favourite album by them and Alone Again is also my all time favourite song. And there's also Undercode, they're actually a very obsecure band, they are a Croatian band who composed boss tracks for the Serious Sam video game franchise (aka my personal favourite fps game) they aren't entirely an old band though. But they only released 2 albums so far. Also if you're down for some extreme musics like deathcore then feel free to check out bands like Abacinate or King Conquer who unfortunately are no longer active anymore.
I remember hearing this in a doom mod, this song is pretty iconic at this point, it also reminds me of a song i heard in CEX years ago, and have still yet to find it. All i can remember is that is that it had a female vocalist, with a very soft voice, and the lyrics; 'you are king of my castle.' It also wasn't the same as that famous dance track, it was much softer like an Acappella track.
As a German and Lost Media/Internet mysteries enthusiast,, it not only makes me incredibly happy that my country - which is usually not mentioned that often in lost media discussions - ended up being the country from which the song is from, but you ending the video with "Tschau!" and putting "Danke fürs zuschauen!" at the end made me really happy for some reason.
I just came here from Reddit and oh my good God. I'm so thrilled that I feel that we, the humanity, can reconstruct the whole Alexandria Library content
The fact that both Ulterior Motives and Like the wind/Subways of your mind have been found within the same year is just mind blowing. I'm glad the name of the song and the band who recorded it has FINALLY been discovered.
This was written in a German newspaper on 13.11.24: Although Fex haven't played together for almost 40 years, they now want to re-record the song "Subways of your Mind" and three other songs from the demo session from the past. On Thursday afternoon (14.11.24), the musicians also played the song live and unplugged together again for the first time on radio station NDR 1 Welle Nord.
@@linusfotografturns out no. They're all online. One has a RUclips channel. The mystery was just on the other side of the border between "online" and "chronically online." Hell, the keyboardist's daughter is a Redditer involved in internet mysteries, but she had never heard the song before!
Can you imagine recording music one year, and then some forty years later you hear that music has been sought after ever since, and considered lost media? Seriously, what a mind job, especially considering you get a whole group of fans out of it, that long after the song's initial release. 100% looking forward to them rerecording it, hoping it ends up on spotify.
Yo, just from a story telling / editing perspective, this video rules, and I’m so happy you have an entire backlog of awesome content that feels right up my alley 💪
Maybe I should go on a hunt on these sites for a track they used to play on our local small-town indie high school station in the late 1990s. It was punk, the chorus went, “Yoda was a Jedi master! He was strong in the ways of the Force!” and the verses were all about various situations Yoda got into. The best part is about Yoda smacking R2D2 with a stick, and the singer starts screaming, “You DON’T dis R2, man! You just don’t dis R2!” I was able to track down the artist at one point, and got a copy of a *folk* version of the song, which totally misses the point. I feel this would be difficult to find, since the station about 10 years later had no record of it, and my friend tracked down the artist, who himself only had the folk version. Which I’ve got on CD around here, somewhere. The punk version is one of those that deserved to be heard by everyone.
@@gamegenie4617 The station was out of Kennewick, Washington, and the artist my friend tracked down was living in Yakima, WA at the time. I'd have to dig out my box of CDs for the name of the artist, if there's interest? I think the CD with the folk version is by the songwriter/frontman's other band, which was Christian folk or alternative. That's all I remember off the top, and if there's enough interest I can dig it out, maybe even check if I ripped a copy of the folk version to .mp3 on a disconnected hard drive someplace.
I saw the title and thought "Nah, it's probably referring to some other lost media song they're talking about, not the one I'm thinking of" but NO IT'S THE SAME SONG FUCKING FINALLY
Yeah there may be no way to ever top this year unless we somehow find Jeff The Killer original, London After Midnight, and like the Library of Alexandria’s burned archives or something lmao
Wow, first Celebrity number 6 was found, and now this... what a crazy ride. RUclips recommended this video to me and I like how straight to the point it is, you did a good job on this video!
i'm reeling. it's midnight now, and i went from tired from absolutely wide awake. i've said it elsewhere but this mystery wouldn't have been so consuming if the song sucked, but it's legitimately a banger. the demo tape version that was uploaded is really good too. and nearly a full minute and change longer! what a wild ride it's been.
Thank you so much for making this video, Like The Wind has always been such a cool song to me and knowing now that it got found is insane to me. I'm so proud of this damn community!
I lived 17 years without the knowledge of the existence of a mysterious song on the internet up until this recommended video appeared, but 2024 was a great year because I have found the three songs I've been looking for on the web since like 16 years or so
I woke up this morning and opened youtube cuz that’s what I always do in the morning. The first thing that popped up in my recommended was a video with the full version of this song. I haven’t been into lost songs for a very long time yet, but I knew this was by far the biggest lost song that was still unsolved up to this day. I almost fell out of bed when I clicked the video and realized that the song had finally been found. I still can’t believe it. I’m so happy
I am so happy that the band was finally found and it sounds like the singer really is that deep baritone and it's not an artifact of the recording being slowed down
When "everyone knows that" was found earlier this year, I knew I had high hopes for "like the wind" would be found after other lost medias were found and identified. This is huge!
finding like the wind feels like completing the storyline of a video game. it is not 100% complete yet (because there are still unidentified songs), but the final boss (like the wind) is defeated
this was my very first introduction to lost media back in 2020. ever since then, i've gotten interested in lost media content, but i would always wonder when this song would be found. i had always eagerly waited for this song to be found because i watched almost every video from justin wang about its leads until i would stop watching this content for a bit as it felt like it was going nowhere so far. but now, i can rest peacefully knowing it is now found. 2024 really is the year of lost media
I know how these people must feel haha. When I was a child in the 90's, my parents had a tape full of electronic music, house and rave and stuff like that, and there was a short snippet of one particular song which would haunt me for years. I often tried to find out what the song was, but finally in 2021 I did it by grinding myself through several youtube playlists of 90's rave music and finally found out, that it was "God of Abraham" by M.N.O. It was the best feeling ever, like suddenly hitting the jackpot and becoming a millionaire.
I saw this video out of the corner of my eye in my recommended feed and actually screamed out loud. This has been my favorite piece of lost media for years. I was so thrilled about Ulterior Motives, but also a little melancholy because with all the finds we've had recently, it was never Like The Wind. I'm close to tears, this is truly momentous and a testament to how we should never give up on these searches. I can't believe it.
Whats curious to me is why statues in motion, the band many (including me) thought who are the artists behind this song, uploaded it to their applemusic and spotify. Just to promote a dead band project? Thats pretty suspect to me.
I can't believe I'm only just hearing this song was found now. I remember when EKT was finally found a couple months ago and I never thought they would find like the wind. Truly amazing.
What an amazing journey it has been. Love that the Band is actually from Kiel, since that's only about an hour away from where I live. Would love for them to do a live show at some point since I could actually go.
Came apon this extremely randomly actually! Not knowing your channel, but also not knowing about "the most mysterious song on the internet", I can say great video! (This kinda sounds like an AI comment, but I'm just high and wanted to show my appreciation)
this year is THE BEST year for lost media! so much has been found in just one year (ulterior motives, backrooms original photos). it is genuinely amazing to see the biggest lost media search finally come to an end. this marks an end of and era, excited what big is coming next! love y'all
This is crazy, I was listening to the song just a few minutes ago and wanted to find the other mysterious one (the corn one) so I searched "the most mysterious song" and all videos are just hours old
I'm so genuinely happy. I couldn't believe it when I first read about the song being found, it has been so many years! I hope we'll be able to learn more about the band :)
NO WAY! I got recommended the song then I decided to search "the most mysterious song on the internet" to see if there was any news on it... AND WE FOUND IT!?!?!
I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS THIS MYSTERY HAS BEEN GOINGN ON SINCE BEFORE I WAS BORN!! Since I was little I’ve been hearing about this, since I was five and had RUclips on the tv, this is the best year of my life I think. To be in middle school is amazing, I will love these years of my life forever and ever oh my god I’m telling my whole school
The band uploaded an acoustical version of the song from the present and an audio recording of a live 1985 performance on RUclips a few hours ago. It's like f'n Christmas today!!
I love the idea that a band from the 80s, after so many years, gets the success they deserve with their song through a chain of coincidences. Someone should secure the film rights to this storry 🙂
This find probably marks 2024 as one of the best year for lost media, if not the best.

This is a great reason why the Internet Archive is so important. Digital information is very fragile in the grand scheme of things.
@@arandompasserby7940 The archive is dying, actually.
The internet is losing a lot of media, every day, because large companies have bought most of the internet.
Just like how Leticia Sarda (Celebrity Number 6) didn't know people were looking for her.
Or maybe the amount of lost songs will grow as the original artists die😭
Forty years. Can you imagine embarking on a search like this and it takes 40 years to find it? Wow. What a year for IDing media.

Yeah there may be no way to ever top this year unless we somehow find Jeff The Killer original, London After Midnight, and like the Library of Alexandria’s burned archives or something lmao
it is a mind-blowing thing that it has been found, but now the mystery factor is gone forever, as usual a good and a bad thing
I loved the search and the mystery, but I much prefer the artist get the credit and recognition they are due :)
Don't cry because it's over, smile because the mystery was solved! ❤
Wow, first Celebrity number 6 was found, and now this... what a crazy ride. RUclips recommended this video to me and I like how straight to the point it is, you did a good job on this video!
8:25 JUST LIKE ULTERIOR MOTIVES?! WHAAAAAATTT
i'm reeling. it's midnight now, and i went from tired from absolutely wide awake. i've said it elsewhere but this mystery wouldn't have been so consuming if the song sucked, but it's legitimately a banger. the demo tape version that was uploaded is really good too. and nearly a full minute and change longer! what a wild ride it's been.
Thank you so much for making this video, Like The Wind has always been such a cool song to me and knowing now that it got found is insane to me. I'm so proud of this damn community!
Congrats on making the first docu-vid, and it's actually well done!
Imagine how Marijn felt the second he played Subways of your Mind, thinking it would be some ordinary old song and heard that guitar...
as a german, i'm glad that germany also has a small part in lost media history.
Wouldn't even say it's a small part, it's like THE poster child of lost media.
Since playing MyHouse I have wanted nothing more than to find this songs original artist. It just tied together the forest sections vibe so perfectly.
I lived 17 years without the knowledge of the existence of a mysterious song on the internet up until this recommended video appeared, but 2024 was a great year because I have found the three songs I've been looking for on the web since like 16 years or so
When people found EKT, I KNEW they would find LTW! I’m so so happy, such a good year for lost media!
I woke up this morning and opened youtube cuz that’s what I always do in the morning. The first thing that popped up in my recommended was a video with the full version of this song. I haven’t been into lost songs for a very long time yet, but I knew this was by far the biggest lost song that was still unsolved up to this day. I almost fell out of bed when I clicked the video and realized that the song had finally been found. I still can’t believe it. I’m so happy
It's been bouncing around in my head for years since I first heard it. Thanks for the great video!
The amount of lost media that was found in this year is crazy
I am so happy that the band was finally found and it sounds like the singer really is that deep baritone and it's not an artifact of the recording being slowed down
When "everyone knows that" was found earlier this year, I knew I had high hopes for "like the wind" would be found after other lost medias were found and identified. This is huge!
Simple and Quick to the point. I love these types of videos
I hope FEX get the recognition and royalties they deserve!
finding like the wind feels like completing the storyline of a video game. it is not 100% complete yet (because there are still unidentified songs), but the final boss (like the wind) is defeated
this was my very first introduction to lost media back in 2020. ever since then, i've gotten interested in lost media content, but i would always wonder when this song would be found. i had always eagerly waited for this song to be found because i watched almost every video from justin wang about its leads until i would stop watching this content for a bit as it felt like it was going nowhere so far. but now, i can rest peacefully knowing it is now found. 2024 really is the year of lost media
They made several live concerts yet it still took 40 years to be solved.
I know how these people must feel haha. When I was a child in the 90's, my parents had a tape full of electronic music, house and rave and stuff like that, and there was a short snippet of one particular song which would haunt me for years. I often tried to find out what the song was, but finally in 2021 I did it by grinding myself through several youtube playlists of 90's rave music and finally found out, that it was "God of Abraham" by M.N.O. It was the best feeling ever, like suddenly hitting the jackpot and becoming a millionaire.
Amazing effort to finally find the song! Can't believe it's no longer the most mysterious song.
Wait... but it's a different version/recording. So where's the original recording, the one that started it all? Uh oh... the mystery isn't over yet!
Maybe, the one Anton posted, is a demo version
Basically beta version of the songs, intended to be listened towards AR in a record label
The music sounds like Ghost when they're on that '80s energy. lmao
Vocal gives The 69 Eyes vibes.
I'm here for it.
"This is going down in history"
Let's fucking go. First Ulterior Motives, now Subways of Your Mind!
The band even aaid they plan a reunion to rerecord subways of your mind
I saw this video out of the corner of my eye in my recommended feed and actually screamed out loud. This has been my favorite piece of lost media for years. I was so thrilled about Ulterior Motives, but also a little melancholy because with all the finds we've had recently, it was never Like The Wind. I'm close to tears, this is truly momentous and a testament to how we should never give up on these searches.
I can't believe it.
We found “The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet” before GTA6
biggest jumpscare i done ever seen in the youtube recommended
Whats curious to me is why statues in motion, the band many (including me) thought who are the artists behind this song, uploaded it to their applemusic and spotify. Just to promote a dead band project? Thats pretty suspect to me.
I can’t believe it. I’ve been waiting for so long for Like The Wind to be found. Ulterior Motives being found earlier this year as well feels unreal.
I thought Whang would be the first to announce this.
I was hoping he would, but to be fair, he was kinda late to reporting that celebrity number six was found
i hoped it too, he made this famous
@chegu613 absolutely!
the most mysterious song on the internet was found before gta 6
and before yandere simulator finished development
Now the akiba tape needs to be found
whats the akiba tape
I don’t know quite why the algorithm presented me with your video, but I’m glad it did. Thanks for a fun dive into internet history!
I felt this way when I found Mystic Tryst, the fairy bells sounding music that I first heard in a commercial 14 years ago
I can't believe I'm only just hearing this song was found now. I remember when EKT was finally found a couple months ago and I never thought they would find like the wind. Truly amazing.
i cannot believe this! I thought this one would never be found!
how tf did this only get recommended to me 3 days after it was found?
Greetings from the UK. It would be awesome if we can get the new version into the charts.
What an amazing journey it has been. Love that the Band is actually from Kiel, since that's only about an hour away from where I live. Would love for them to do a live show at some point since I could actually go.
Came apon this extremely randomly actually! Not knowing your channel, but also not knowing about "the most mysterious song on the internet", I can say great video! (This kinda sounds like an AI comment, but I'm just high and wanted to show my appreciation)
this year is THE BEST year for lost media! so much has been found in just one year (ulterior motives, backrooms original photos). it is genuinely amazing to see the biggest lost media search finally come to an end. this marks an end of and era, excited what big is coming next! love y'all
This is crazy, I was listening to the song just a few minutes ago and wanted to find the other mysterious one (the corn one) so I searched "the most mysterious song" and all videos are just hours old
I'm so genuinely happy. I couldn't believe it when I first read about the song being found, it has been so many years! I hope we'll be able to learn more about the band :)
NO WAY! I got recommended the song then I decided to search "the most mysterious song on the internet" to see if there was any news on it... AND WE FOUND IT!?!?!
I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS THIS MYSTERY HAS BEEN GOINGN ON SINCE BEFORE I WAS BORN!! Since I was little I’ve been hearing about this, since I was five and had RUclips on the tv, this is the best year of my life I think. To be in middle school is amazing, I will love these years of my life forever and ever oh my god I’m telling my whole school
2024 seriously has just been THE year for finding lost media, absolutely amazing!
NO WAY! Finally. I got interested in lost media mid-2022 and I never thought that this would be ever found
like clockwork 😭
The band uploaded an acoustical version of the song from the present and an audio recording of a live 1985 performance on RUclips a few hours ago. It's like f'n Christmas today!!
What an amazing year for lost music.
I love the idea that a band from the 80s, after so many years, gets the success they deserve with their song through a chain of coincidences. Someone should secure the film rights to this storry 🙂
