Imagine having a song go viral for 17 years -- without even knowing it. That's exactly what happened to the German 1980s band FEX. And this isn't just any song -- it's "The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet," a track that puzzled music detectives for decades before finally being identified in November 2024. Now, it has been officially released. The Story in Brief: Sometime around 1984, a song was broadcasted on NDR Radio. The name of the song was "Subways Of Your Mind" -- only found out 40 years later in November 2024. Back then, a listener recorded the NDR show on cassette, a common practice at the time. Decades later, the tape resurfaced, but while most songs from the recording were identified, one remained an enigma. On March 18, 2007, the track was uploaded to the internet in an attempt to uncover its origins. Due to its now-iconic opening lyric, it was tentatively titled "Like The Wind." Over time, the mystery deepened, and the song was given a nickname: "The Most Mysterious Song" -- or simply "TMMS." Then, in 2024, the breakthrough: Reddit user marjin1412 reached out to musician Michael Hädrich after discovering a reference to his band FEX in an old newspaper article. Hädrich, FEX's keyboardist, provided a recording from an old demo cassette which included an alternative version of the song. On November 4, 2024, the mystery was officially solved: FEX was the band, "Subways Of Your Mind" was the title. A higher-quality version of the NDR radio recording was rediscovered in late December, 2024, remastered, and now sent for a second vinyl pressing: the "TMMS Version." This new vinyl 7" is backed with "Talking Hands," another great and unissued song that was found on the demo cassette.
