I can tell you from personal experience that we store sometimes photographic memories of our dreams in the subconscious level our our minds, but the brain doesn’t not intend for them to be accessed during conscious cognitive awareness unless in a fleeting, fragmented state (else consequences). In theory that dream could be recalled. Don’t sleep on the subconscious.

I always imagined that when the day comes that this song is found, it would be quite an underwhelming experience. A few proofs provided by one of the band members, to show that this is really their song. Several band members having passed away. No other songs made by the band, no reunion or anything. Just a "Hey... Yeah this is our song! Here is the proof if you need it. Thanks for reaching out." But no... We got a new version that sounds even better! All of the band members are still alive! We got a reunion of the band! We got an accoustic version! We got a few other great songs the band made! Holy shit this is the perfect ending to this mystery!

I mean, they weren't necessarily big and famous, and if you consider the fact that the literal internet was first introduced in 1983. (this song released in 1984.) it would make sense why it doesn't exist anywhere.

[@sodapone]

We tend to think the internet is this infallible hivemind of knowledge-with billions of people being able to communicate with each other in an instant, how could we possibly fail to find the origin of this one obscure song from Germany? But this is living proof that for as many chances as the internet gives us to find these answers, it's still just a roll of the dice whether we'll find them at the end of the day.

[@coldacre]

theyre a garage band from Germany who had 3 or 4 songs that sounded like everything else, in 1983. look at the photo of them, no good looking singer. the ONLY reason why we care is because of "the chase". if they were meant to be, then more than 10 people would have cared in 1984

[@drifter402]

​@sodapone most information is not online.

[@TarquiniusSuperbus]

​@@coldacre Exactly, I don't think people realize just how many other songs/bands/releases like this are floating around out there. The early-to-mid 80s were saturated with music like this. It really says something about the state of modern music that this song -- which is very good, but still very typical for its time -- has captivated so many people, a lot of whom weren't even alive when it was created.

Just what I expected the ending theme of an almost two decade long hunt to sound like. Epic and definitive. The best thing is that it was made two decades before the hunt even started.

[@IllidanZur]

This song has carried me on for the past half of this year. Seeing it get uncovered in the end of year is like a breath of fresh air, like the new hope, *like the wind*

[@trippybunn]

damn thats a great logo

[@MysticMorigan1998]

If I wasn't so totally broke, I'd gladly buy a neon yellow logo shirt of them Logo goes hard, I greatly admire the guys being so chill and humble, and that WE FINALLY FOUND THE FREAKING SONG

[@HaydenHero]

I am so happy that we finally know who made the song and that they're still alive to enjoy the benefits of their work. The song sounds even better now that we have the original cassette digitized.

[@lilysmith4548]

I think the song is about shutting yourself away figuratively or literally because of the stress of life - locking yourself in the "subways of your mind" (which is a nice metaphor, like a labyrinth). I think they're referring to American style subways like a train station because you can check in and out through barriers, but it could also be a subterranean walkway. Any case, I think the first verse is: "Like the wind, you came here running" - you came running into the dark confines of your mind/home to hide from life. "Take the consequence of living, [here] there is no space and no tomorrow, all we need is some 'munication" - I think this is the speaker urging them back out; deal with the insecurities of life and overcome your fears to explore the world around you. In here there is no future or room for you to grow. All you need is to relate to people, to understand, and everything becomes less frightening/stressful/depressing when you have people to help. "Check it in, check it out But the sun will never shine Paranoid anyway in the subways of your mind" - this one I'm torn, it could be A) check IT (a reference to the "symptoms" or "excuse" in the last segment of the song) or B) IT is the sun that "can never shine" in the subways because they're too dark and complex to be lit by fleeting happiness, or C) IT could just exist for rhythm and they could mean "check in and out as you please but things won't get better". "There's no place For any sorrow Time for young and restless dreamin'" - this line is both reassuring and daunting: in life there is no place made for sadness, as life goes by too fast (it's why the person retreated to wallow their mind), but it's also positive - there's no place to wallow here, and WE DON'T WANT YOU TO! move on! It is time for "restless dreaming" again an oxymoron: life is a struggle, but it's for something worth it and something fun. Life is meant to be a bit rough and restless, but it brings us hope for tomorrow, don't be afraid. Then it's the chorus again. So ... The last bit: "Check it in check it out It's the summer blues Tear it in, tear it out It's the good excuse" This is quite easy, check the summer blues in through the barriers of your mind subway but this time, instead of letting them get to you, and causing you to wallow in the darkness, chuck them straight back out. 'check it' kind of works like a pun here - let it in so you can literally check it out, and then "check it out" of your mind. Same with the "excuse", peel the corner in and tear it out like a poster - rip out the propaganda in the subway you hide in that tell you to stay here. Get rid of any excuses you make to stay in this state, to not take the first step to recovery, confront them for what they are. TLDR: The overall message of the song is "you're hiding away again, scared of your own failures and fears, but you cannot ever make a single success like that. You'll have to come out of your hiding spot, face reality, and deal with being a failure half of the time if you also want to enjoy that half of success. You can do it, the voices of yours loved ones believe in you."

This should NOT be forgotten again

[@Ishin69]

oh it absolutely won't. it's part of history now

[@mongol-jan]

Not even taking into account all the mystery and the hunt surrounding it, this song kicks ass.

[@intruder69lol]

This is legendary

[@marsman01_]

the song used to sound like it's lyrics were dark, like the lyric "Like the wind, you're gonna suffer" which was a popular interperatation. but now, since we have the full song, we can hear that the lyric is much lighter, being "Like the wind, blowing from somewhere"

[@LaylaSpellwind]

I check by every now and then to see if there's ever any resolution to this song. Oh my god, I can't believe it finally got one! Glad we finally know! I hope the band know about how many people wanted to know who made their music!

[@mystressm8719]

3 of them already had a live performance on NDR1 radio. Now also the drummer is found and they will meet!😊

[@LaylaSpellwind]

@@mystressm8719 I saw not long after I commented. Super awesome. I imagine they were extremely happy to see so many people care about their music!

[@cameron1077]

I have had this on repeat. Cannot believe the song and band were found. For so many years, this was lost and for years people were searching for it and I followed along. Great journey!

[@rapozavp1987]

nothing can escape the internet, no matter how long it takes, someone will find it

[@blacknike8123]

I still can't believe they found this song.

[@Romanungernvonsternberg8]

And it is from the country of black white and red 😊 schwarz und weiß wie das preußische Land, weiß und rot wie der Reichs und Hansestadt Verband 🎉

[@baron5446]

I remember this search hitting the mainstream internet when I was in middle school. Whole ass high school graduate workin nights for the railroad and finally, it's here. Never followed it too closely but I'm blown away. Proud of yall.

[@GingerNorseman]

Glad people worked so hard to find this song, it's bloody awesome.

[@junejulyandaugust]

it feels so unusual to listen to a clear version of this song after so long

[@mcch1cken473]

This song feels more rewarding as it sounds good and happier while the mysterious version sounded very demo and kinda sad. I still don’t know how it got into the radio station and I remember hearing the creators saying they don’t know either. Whatever it is, we solved the unsolvable.

[@excrono]

They sent an earlier demo take to the radio station (which they further edited down for airplay) The song was polished for this demo tape later on.

[@VTH223]

Wow, we literally found this damn song by making something out of nothing. Congrats internet

[@Valiant_aura]

It feels good being able to see this

[@TheWeirdcoreMan]

I am so glad we found this song. Let it never be forgotten again!

[@RavenStarMedia]

Honestly I hope we hear some more songs from FEX now that they're reunited. The three songs we've heard from them so far are pretty good. So glad TMS was finally found! This, Everyone Knows That, the original Backrooms location, what a year for lost media!

[@aseheavyindustries798]

even removed from the mystery, this song is such a banger

[@hollowrussian9318]

I feel a tear rolling down my cheek....this moment will be forever remembered

[@ThunderspearNZ]

How did they not make it big at the time with such a banger of a song is the real mystery. I know competition was high back then but come on this rocks !

[@LucaStuch-m4z]

Scheiße, der Song ist so wunderschön. Ich muss heulen.😥😥😥😥

[@Liliout]

I’m really surprised about to think I thought we would never have an update on it and here I am listening to it having no words only feelings I can’t describe

[@wizarI7]

this is just... wow. 41 years of unknowledge and it happened

[@Realpersonfrongod]

I never thought they were gonna find this song. It's so clear now

[@JustinAutry]

This song is so old yet sounds so fresh
