Decades-Old Mystery Song Identified as 'Subways of Your Mind' by German Band FEX

After 17 years of online searching, the elusive 1980s track has been traced back to the Kiel-based band, surprising its long-disbanded members.

The song, initially recorded from a German radio broadcast in the 1980s, was uploaded online in 2007 by siblings Darius and Lydia, sparking widespread intrigue.
Dubbed 'The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet', it gained a significant following on platforms like Reddit, where a dedicated community sought to uncover its origins.
The breakthrough came when a Reddit user linked the song to FEX, a band that had performed at the Hörfest music festival and recorded the track 'Subways of Your Mind'.
FEX band members, unaware of the online search, have now confirmed their authorship and plan to reunite to re-record the song with improved quality.
The song's newfound popularity has prompted the band to register it with GEMA, although they acknowledge it is unlikely to result in significant financial gain.
