I can't believe we even have a live version of it... Fex wasn't that obscure or unsolvable, it just went through the cracks I think. What a journey, lostwave fans.
A local German band who the DJs at the radio station couldn't remember. Hindsight is 20/20 but that sounds like it fits the definition of obscure to me.
The Pro-german Group from reddit planned this Document dump for a while now. Fakes did a good job copying Alvin Dean and Statues in Motion and Homicide! The lead singer heard and copied the original version from the Radio just like Darius did in 1984 I bet!
What the singer is saying in the first 10 sec is like this: "Tuning (the guitar) has to be done sometimes. Even though we don't do jazz. This piece (of music) is also available on our cassette tape. It's called Subways of your Mind. Okay" [song begins] 🎶🎵🎶🎵
They haven’t mentioned that they have any video. If they only did a handful of gigs back then, odds of someone having an early camcorder at one of them are slim.
While yes it is faster, however the version that was originally posted on that reddit post (length 4:04) is incorrect speed (too slow), as the tape clearly says "3:54". You can already find correct speed uploads on YT.
I think it's a good reminder that we can find some goal in life and be happy when we achieve it Even if it's just a lost song from 80s, what an adventure
Lyrics (for the studio recorded version anyway): [Verse 1] Like the wind You came here runnin' Take the consequence of livin' There's no space There's no tomorrow All we need's communication [Chorus] Check it in, check it out But the sun will never shine Paranoid anyway In the subways of your mind [Verse 2] Like the wind Blowin' from somewhere Let a smile be your companion There's no place For any sorrow Time for young and restless dreamin' [Chorus] Check it in, check it out But the sun will never shine Paranoid anyway In the subways of your mind [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Check it in, check it out But the sun will never shine Paranoid anyway In the subways of your mind [Post-Chorus] Check it in, check it out It's the summer blues Tear it in, tear it out It's a good excuse Check it in, check it out It's the summer blues Tear it in, tear it out It's a good excuse Check it in, check it out It's the summer blues Tear it in, tear it out It's a good excuse Check it in, check it out It's the summer blues Tear it in, tear it out It's a good excuse
It's fenomenal ❤ It's very great ❤ 40 years later, the like the wind is solved, it's very very crazy, but is real, well, now, the journey is over, my friends
German Boomers (both West and East) are very luddite and (rightfully) paranoid about western inteligence agencies snooping on them. Also Reddit isn't exactly compatible with their views on certain issues. Thats why the Parties "BSW" and "Die Linke" demand a right to an analogue life.
10 mio. views on YT, tv reports, radio reports, internet news, communities and those guys were hiding the whole time....)) Well, the mystery is over, isn't it? Congratulations to everyone) 🎉
Not to be overdramatic, but if they were a British band or if they were noticed by a big label, no doubt they would've be crazy famous. This is Depeche Mode level, even better live!
Its a very very nice song and we are all delighted it was found but let's stay realistic: its nowhere near Depeche Mode level and I think it was just not unique or special enough to make a really big impact at that time ... But I'm also glad it exists - its a great story and I think the song is good
German talk in the beginning says: „Stimmen muss auch mal sein. Obwohl wir kein Jazz machen. Dieses Stück ist auch auf unserer Kassette. Es heißt: Subways Of Your Mind.“ Which translates to: „Tuning is also sometimes necessary. Although we don't do jazz. This piece is also on our cassette. It's called Subways Of Your Mind.“
It's surreal to finally have this. Especially since there were these dudes Ronnie Urini and Christian Brandl who stated that it was their song and many believed it. They even claimed ownership of this song legally...
@@NilsonSeiza yeah Brandl has been dead for 37 years. So unless you're breaking out the Ouija board I don't think anyone is talking to him any time soon.
Wow I can't believe it😱😱 there is even a live version and how the people who attended that concert couldn't recognize this song before it was identified
Probably there was noone attending the concert who ever heard of the search. And if so, they would have had to remember one specific song for almost 40 years.
Great song, sounds like it could have been a bond movie song with that bridge/chorus. Is that a framus bass in the pic with two humbuckers like a gnl fender bass? Nice edgy stingray type sound. Go the dx7! Jm
It’s interesting that this version seems to have the same lyrics as the radio version. The Demo version that also just came out has some minor differences.
For years people have been talking about the mysterious origins of this son g then suddenly, all on the same ay, these recordings coincidentally appear on RUclips all a t the same time from different sources. I'm sure t's nothing more than a massive coincidence.
If this was live, then the singers really went, "You guys aren't ready for this, but your kids are gonna love it."
You won the Internet!😂
This was even the same year Back to the Future was released
@@JustyandRaymond FOR REAL THOUGH
@@FukiMakai Oh My God
Fr, if this was early in 1985 I wasn't born yet
I can't believe we even have a live version of it... Fex wasn't that obscure or unsolvable, it just went through the cracks I think. What a journey, lostwave fans.
It was a long dirty way to get here.
It was a most solvable song but took the most time.
According to an interview with a band member by the german tz there are two existing live versions of that song.
A local German band who the DJs at the radio station couldn't remember. Hindsight is 20/20 but that sounds like it fits the definition of obscure to me.

Funny how this is the last “big” lostwave song found. It was awaiting us. The final boss has been defeated.
Wait wait wait wait!!! What about Japanese song “fly away”?
Or full version of “My wandering fire”??
@ idk they don’t seem very popular
They will rise now tho since the big guns have been solved
@@ACNSinc_45offical Or "White Trash"
Now for some side quests.
remember when a live version of this song was just theoretical?
Feels like yesterday 😂
This version slaps, I love that drum machine
pretty sure its synth drums played by an actual person, and and not a drum machine
Judging from their sound, they seem to be en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simmons_SDS-V
It’s electronic, real drums.
music 👍
I mean it's technically a drum machine, just triggered with pads.
What the singer is saying in the first 10 sec is like this:
"Tuning (the guitar) has to be done sometimes.
Even though we don't do jazz.
This piece (of music) is also available on our cassette tape.
It's called Subways of your Mind.
Okay"
[song begins]
🎶🎵🎶🎵
Thanks
Can't believe I'm sitting here listening to a LIVE version. Who would have thought even a couple days ago. absolutely wild!
Also, this song is different, every time it's played or created. It's a magical song. The demo hits hard. But you gotta respect an og!
The song is allways new and fresh, with no defined form...... like the wind
@@hailgiratinathetruegod7564Or like autigender.
It's so heart warming... the singer sounds like a fun guy, just having with his homies.
We could have solved this in the 00s if we had just looked at the newspapers!
A lot of old newspapers weren’t really available to see in the 00s, even now they’re still being archived
I'm not sure there are newspaper articles linking FEX to Subways of Your Mind. It still would have been a shot in the dark to contact them.
Otherwise there wouldnt have been a whole community searching for it
Omg , this live version is found too, I'm waiting the videoclip
They haven’t mentioned that they have any video. If they only did a handful of gigs back then, odds of someone having an early camcorder at one of them are slim.
yeah
waiting video is hope maybe
This is the coolest thing I've seen the internet do in a while.
Insane that this was not hidden, but because we didn't know where to look for, it seemed like no other register of it existed
Well said
It was sent yesterday to one user of Reddit and immediately someone uploaded here. It was never before on RUclips.
It was only on an audio cassette they personally sold at their concerts.
It's interesting that this version is in a faster tempo.
It's quite common for live shows.
Plus singer's voice is higher and the accent more prominent.
While yes it is faster, however the version that was originally posted on that reddit post (length 4:04) is incorrect speed (too slow), as the tape clearly says "3:54". You can already find correct speed uploads on YT.
We are back to the right timeline when this song and band is a hit 😭🤩
I read interview with Michael, I feel positive vibes from FEX
The song was a mystery for decades and once it got identified, the floodgate is basically open.
I was so happy that this song was finally found, but now EVEN A LIVE VERSION!!
I was here the day it was found!
Me, too.
Found on my birthday :)
mine's in 2 days time. early birthday present ;)
@ happy early birthday!
@@coldacre Happy early birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday
God i love the ending, i've never thought i would ever get to hear to it
We were looking for one song, but we found a whole "single" and a live performance
And this is how we end the year with this live version of Like the Wind, what a time to be alive, I'm so happy guys
I think it's a good reminder that we can find some goal in life and be happy when we achieve it
Even if it's just a lost song from 80s, what an adventure
My YT feed is now being flooded with every vid about the search for this song
What a time to be alive ♡
I thought we will never know who is an author of this song. Now I think there is a great time to be alive.
The band is doing a recording
This song is already pure history and with the live version it is proven that it is a Madness to live this Moment
That’s OUR band. So amazing to see the guys
Lyrics (for the studio recorded version anyway):
[Verse 1]
Like the wind
You came here runnin'
Take the consequence of livin'
There's no space
There's no tomorrow
All we need's communication
[Chorus]
Check it in, check it out
But the sun will never shine
Paranoid anyway
In the subways of your mind
[Verse 2]
Like the wind
Blowin' from somewhere
Let a smile be your companion
There's no place
For any sorrow
Time for young and restless dreamin'
[Chorus]
Check it in, check it out
But the sun will never shine
Paranoid anyway
In the subways of your mind
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Check it in, check it out
But the sun will never shine
Paranoid anyway
In the subways of your mind
[Post-Chorus]
Check it in, check it out
It's the summer blues
Tear it in, tear it out
It's a good excuse
Check it in, check it out
It's the summer blues
Tear it in, tear it out
It's a good excuse
Check it in, check it out
It's the summer blues
Tear it in, tear it out
It's a good excuse
Check it in, check it out
It's the summer blues
Tear it in, tear it out
It's a good excuse
you copy pasted this, the live version has a few changes from the newly found one
This live version is amazing! The drums remind me to A Flock of Seagulls with song "Nightmares", I mean the drum's style into new wave. I love it!
we fought for our happiness.
This year, is the year of lostwave 👏✌️
The end of an era
Or the beginning! The band will reunite.
The beginning of a new era of FEX band
This song is finally found. What a relief.
After all these years... ❤
I really love this version!
Finally we find the song, I will defenitely do a cover as I love it so much, love the 80s❤❤❤❤
It's fenomenal ❤
It's very great ❤
40 years later, the like the wind is solved, it's very very crazy, but is real, well, now, the journey is over, my friends
So crazy it’s finally been found, I’m speechless
Crazy none of those people present realized the search initiated in 2019.
it actually started in 2007 chat rooms
@@alexanderlawrence6895 Yeah, it just picked up traction in 2019.
It went back further than that! Lydia set up the search in 2007!

Wow this sounds like it was hoot to be at. I'm so glad we've figured it out
I can't believe German parents let this flop. It's such a goth banger.
10 mio. views on YT, tv reports, radio reports, internet news, communities and those guys were hiding the whole time....)) Well, the mystery is over, isn't it? Congratulations to everyone) 🎉
I like how this mystery has brought this time period in music back to life.
Not to be overdramatic, but if they were a British band or if they were noticed by a big label, no doubt they would've be crazy famous. This is Depeche Mode level, even better live!
Tbh it really sounds like something that Depeche mode would record. Maybe in Black Celebration era
Its a very very nice song and we are all delighted it was found but let's stay realistic: its nowhere near Depeche Mode level and I think it was just not unique or special enough to make a really big impact at that time ... But I'm also glad it exists - its a great story and I think the song is good
Thats sooooooo adorable, finally we know this song!!!!!
Just wow! What next? A live video?
Oh man, I really hope so
Happyness has been fought for.
Good.
Que loco, ya lo encontraron
it was only just a few days ago when a live version was thought to be impossible
Saw the story on Professor of Rock, it was fascinating and to hear the full version is just so cool…
"this part/song is also on our cassette its subways of your mind" incase you where wondering what was said in german.
WE ARE BLINDING THE WIND WITH THIS ONE!!!
German talk in the beginning says:
„Stimmen muss auch mal sein. Obwohl wir kein Jazz machen. Dieses Stück ist auch auf unserer Kassette. Es heißt: Subways Of Your Mind.“
Which translates to:
„Tuning is also sometimes necessary. Although we don't do jazz. This piece is also on our cassette. It's called Subways Of Your Mind.“
This just keeps on giving
Live version withing 24 hours is crazy
It's surreal to finally have this. Especially since there were these dudes Ronnie Urini and Christian Brandl who stated that it was their song and many believed it. They even claimed ownership of this song legally...
I think that Brandl died a long time ago
@@NilsonSeiza yeah Brandl has been dead for 37 years. So unless you're breaking out the Ouija board I don't think anyone is talking to him any time soon.
It was Ronnie Urini, Brandl is dead.
This is actually my favorite version. More upbeat with unique synth and guitar harmonies.
INCREIBLE
I'M OBSESSED WITH THE 3:02 VOCALS THE WAY HE SINGS IT
THE YEAR OF LOSTWAVE
LETS GOOOOOO
Hey its the radio recorded version lyrics.
Wow I can't believe it😱😱 there is even a live version and how the people who attended that concert couldn't recognize this song before it was identified
Probably there was noone attending the concert who ever heard of the search. And if so, they would have had to remember one specific song for almost 40 years.
Wow can't believe this has been found this is a great year for lost media indeed
The final boss of the lost wave has been officially defeated...
If only that only (or two) people who were clapping knew about this search...we would have found out earlier about it
They should do a World Tour now
Great song, sounds like it could have been a bond movie song with that bridge/chorus. Is that a framus bass in the pic with two humbuckers like a gnl fender bass? Nice edgy stingray type sound. Go the dx7! Jm
Good song. The final part reminds me of Twelfth Night.
I wonder if there’s anyone who went to this concert who we can interview who remembers them!
WE BEAT LAST BOSS AND LOSTWAVE
Nice!
The song almost sounds like a world where it really was never found
Ooo Nice!!!!!!!!! Great!!!
It’s so satisfying omg
Es un alivio que ya haya aparecido
It's strange to hear the singer refer to the song as "Subways of Your Mind" in the beginning. I'm still used to it being called "Like the Wind".
Anyone else here that Yamaha DX7 preset Syn-lead 5 in the chorus?
Sounds like a victory song in this difficult 20-year game. A strange feeling of gladness and emptiness inside...
Nice find! Thanks cam!
The most famous version of all has yet to be identified. Part of the mystery continues, and that's formidable!
Might just be a early demo
They have that version in high quality, too. It’s coming by the weekend, apparently.
it is not that scary anymore T.T but this version is so good, love those drums! and the outro kicks ass!!!
We're finally here....
This isn't live. It's actually a rehearsal take. The live recording is separate and IIRC coming soon.
Its such a good song
love this faster tempo
We've just discovered the *most mysterious song in the internet* mystery, now we have whole demo, and now even live version. Slow down pls
It’s interesting that this version seems to have the same lyrics as the radio version. The Demo version that also just came out has some minor differences.
Ok, I missed some really big news.
these guitar wow sounds are very resemblant to Lostwave August 2019 IMO...
August 2019 Its a hoax
both songs have guitar
@BobHarley but the riff...
@@lotuwei lostwave19 is unlistenable, that's better for a story like raspberry guy's
Crazy!
bassline is killer!
Das stimmen muss auch mal sein, obwohl wir kein Jazz machen, dieses Stück ist auch auf unserer Kassette, es heißt Subways of your mind...
Well... at least we will see the names of a lot of unsolved internet stuff as these credits roll.....
Always wondered who the dolly grip was..
"It's a real excuse" again? ... Was that old recording actually a newer version? O_o
Yes, the daughter of the band member said the new found one was the first version
heck yea
We got Like the Wind solved before GTA VI
Insert GTA San Andreas "here we go again" meme
Dang, the bass line on the live version fucking rips.
For years people have been talking about the mysterious origins of this son g then suddenly, all on the same ay, these recordings coincidentally appear on RUclips all a t the same time from different sources.
I'm sure t's nothing more than a massive coincidence.
I mean yeah, the original song and this live recording were provided by the band themselves...
