It Took The Internet 7 Years to Find This Song

[@TheDefendedOfficial]

Great video Kahli, very well produced - Your channel deserves to be much bigger and I'm sure it will be - David, The Defended

[@pepperoniislices]

oh damn the official? That's crazy will there be other released songs too?

[@aceandalexh9]

Yeah it is! On the there is a man reddit there's a post with all their official social media accounts linked. They are gonna release their old songs soon if they find them. David said weekenders is coming out soon!!!

[@kahli.]

wow! i am honoured! thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! i’ll be anxiously awaiting the future of The Defended (:

[@pepperoniislices]

@@aceandalexh9 that's great! I'll be looking forward to it

[@MissingGamer]

OMG YOOO I actually LOVE this song

[@laketoriver]

The band has said they’re 90% sure 2 of their old songs are salvageable.. considering they’ve already uploaded man on a hill on spotify, we may get more songs soon. The panchiko effect strikes again. However, they have said that they’re all in their thirties with families and don’t exactly live next door to each other anymore. Still happy for them getting recognition.

[@kahli.]

they definitely deserve it! i hope they find a way to write more music (:

[@briancrawford8751]

Panchiko was almost certainly a hoax.

​@laketoriver that reply deserved a yawn, child

[@laketoriver]

@@foolishly7366 I’m so sick of everyone accusing lostwave songs of being hoaxes or made by AI left and right. And it’s so frustrating to argue against as well because they just deny everything, even though the proof is literally the search itself. Maybe, if they done a bit of research maybe they’d come to that realisation. So, I didn’t even bother

[@shad0wchateau]

MAN UPON A HILL i love this song this is literally my favorite ever lostwave song

[@kahli.]

i know, they’re absolutely amazing!

[@prodsbyea]

It's weird how this video popped up after watching that EKT (Everybody knows that) song that's still lost to this day, I think you should make a video about it too!

[@kahli.]

wow what a coincidence! i also watched a bunch of videos about that song, that’s a great suggestion maybe i will!

[@ChiragSonne]

@@kahli. yeah!

[@RealStudiø-n5s]

@@kahli. and if you can, later make a video of JMIL (just make it louder), how it was searched like 16 years and nobody knows nothing about this song

[@kahli.]

@@RealStudiø-n5sthat’s a great suggestion! thank you!

[@Screwye]

I think EKT made more people get into lost songs due to the popularity it got on TikTok and that made the search for Man on a Hill end a lot quicker

[@kalakrutifurniture]

i'mm so glad internet found this!!! now we gotta searchh "everybody knows that " asap because this song is alsoo superbb..

[@martin0499]

It has been found!

[@trippydrew8492]

This video is so good! A very good summary of all that has happened! Glad to have solved this one for everyone and the cherry on top is the band members are awesome guys and are also searching for any music they still have from the time to upload for us! Potentially even some new recordings too! But that is only potentially at this moment!!

[@kahli.]

HEY!! ya great work! i was so impressed when i saw your comment on that video! thanks for watching (:

[@trippydrew8492]

[@JoeySchmidt74]

What's mad is I used to be involved with a band with Fraser's brother (the bassist of the band in the video). Not looking for clout, just the facts. The band I was involved with was Lucky 38 and the band the song is from is the Defended. we're mostly from the suburban Glasgow area.

[@kahli.]

woooa thats insane! this must be surreal for you to have watched them become lost and found, then!

[@JoeySchmidt74]

@kahli. I have his wee sis on Facebook, and she's been sharing every article/post about it.

[@kahli.]

daaamn that’s actually crazy to hear! must be insane for them!

[@NightmareRex6]

it seems the 90s commercial is lost where ash ketchum ended up in a pocket dimention inside one his pokeballs, and all his missing socks were there.

[@kahli.]

oh my god no way! there’s no shot nintendo doesn’t have a version of that tho right?

[@nicole890890]

I was so invested in this search and seeing a video of its timeline is so cool. Great video!

thank you, i’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@UnfunnyFigs]

it's funny coming across this song after I naturally found the Defended on my own. Took me for a loop when I realized I just listened to Man Upon a Hill and then heard it was the lost media in this vid lol

[@Asteriskwaschosen]

I remember hearing this on a lost media search 7 or 6 years ago, I’m glad to see that it was found

THEY FOUND IT!??????? AAAAAAAA

Hey bro, just stumbled upon your channel while on a lostwave binge. This video had me glued to the screen the whole time, your narration style is engaging and the video production quality reminds me of some of the biggest channels in the scene. Keep it up, you do well with this kind of content! Forgotten genre vid slaps too

[@kahli.]

i’m honoured, thank you so much!

[@Gabriel_from_ultrakill_]

I was hoping we would get closure on "everyone knows that" But damn this was good too

i’m working on a video updating about the recent discoveries relating to EKT, but ya from what i know it seems to still be very much so a mystery.

i thought we finally found TMMS, but very interesting story on its own great video

[@briancrawford8751]

Thanks for making a good video about this in under ten minutes. Too many KZbinrs are making videos that exceed even the length of feature films, clearly for the ad revenue, since they don't need to be that long. There are some things that look interesting, but I don't want to spend an hour to see what it is.

[@kahli.]

thank you for that, Brian. i normally try to aim for 10 minutes but i’m just not good enough to make a 10 minute video that’s interesting the entire way through yet ahaha! so i acknowledge that and shorten it as needed, i appreciate you noticing (:

Congratulations 🎉 Must have been a grand feeling of relief and victory! That's what I'm hoping to conquer when or if the artist and actual title for "Everyone Knows That" unlocks someday soon hopefully❣️😆🙌 Yes you're totally right when you said that when searching for a lost media song would be like a treasure hunt and that's an amazing thought🤗 The more people committed to this hunt, the better possibilities of getting warmer to the artist and song title or at least give it a shot to see where we stand, lol Man On the Hill is an amazing and memorable song!

A crazy detail not mentioned in the video is how the band actually found out about this search. Once drew found the live video, and all of us started flooding the comments of it excitedly, the creator of the video actually started replying to people, despite the video being over a decade old. Turns out he was a friend of one of the band members, and he was able to shoot them an email!

Damn, I was hoping this would tell me they finally discovered the identity of "the most mysterious song on the internet" (that post-punk/new wave sounding one) - I've never heard of this lost song. It's pretty good, but nowhere near as good as the one I thought you were talking about lol

From the title of this video, I thought it would be that "Like the wind" song that is also called "the most mysterious song on the internet." Also, it's weird that mid-2000's can be considered "a long time ago" but I guess that's how it always is: what was new is eventually old.
