In 1984, a child recorded a beautiful song he heard on the radio on tape. However, the question about the name of this song and who it belonged to remained unanswered for 17 years. Over the years, this song has become a mystery. A discussion on Reddit in 2007 deepened this mystery even further. The secret of the song has finally been revealed!
A Child and the Song on the Radio
40 years ago, a little boy loved the melody he heard on the radio. While music had become a passion for young people at that time, the child wanted to immortalize this melody by pressing the record button on his cassette player. He wrote the name of the song “Like a Wind” on the tape. However, over time, this tape was buried deep in the music archive. Imagine, years later, this little boy grows up and rediscovers this recording in his music archive! Unfortunately, since he did not know the owner of the song or its real name, this led him to deep curiosity.
The Mystery That Started on Reddit
In 2007, the man heard this song again while listening to his old tapes and began to wonder who wrote the song. He started a discussion on Reddit asking music lovers about the song. However, this question remained unanswered for 17 years. The song gained a lot of attention among Reddit users, but no one could find the name of the song. Applications that recognize songs with modern technology, such as Shazam, were insufficient to find this work. Because this was a very old recording and was not in Shazam’s database.
Music Lovers Trying to Solve the Mystery of the Song
Music lovers tried to gain information by making other music lovers around them listen to the song. However, these efforts did not yield results. The mystery of the song was growing more and more each day. The famous music magazine Rolling Stone even published an article about the mystery of this song. A copy of this song was uploaded to YouTube and from there it attracted more people’s attention.
Source of the Song and FEX Group
The fact that the song sounded like a demo recording of an amateur band led many music lovers to this topic. The band probably gave the song they recorded to a radio DJ they knew to play. However, over time, the band disbanded, the song was forgotten and was never officially released. A few years ago, in September 1984, a music lover who found an article about a band called FEX from Kiel, Germany, reached out to the band and asked about the song. This was an important step in solving the mystery.
Discovery of FEX Group
When he asked the band members about the song, he was very happy to learn that this song belonged to them. Additionally, he discovered that other studio recordings of the same song existed. The real name of the song was determined as “Subways of Your Mind”, which was released by FEX in 1984. The band was unaware that their music was being searched on the internet. However, they did approve the Reddit user to post the new recording and reveal the song title. Thus, a 40-year search has finally come to an end.
Finding a Hidden Musical Treasure
This story, which started with a child not writing down the song names carefully enough, turned into a journey that excites music lovers. Reddit users finally had the peace of mind of finding the song they were looking for. You can listen to the full 4-minute version of the song via the Vacroo link.
