[@CraftySouthpaw]

I often see people questioning why this song never took off as a hit, or claiming to have heard this song in '80s clubs but not remembering any names. While the song may seem quite novel compared to today's music (and to be clear, I love the song myself), it would've been a dime-a-dozen among other new wave fare from the early '80s. IMO, the most likely scenario is that an unsigned band cut this as a demo, distributed it directly to radio stations, and then disbanded after the song failed to attract interest, possibly without ever releasing another single or cutting a full-length album. Since the band may have had no label or even management, the only way we'll ever find out its name is if one of the ex-members happens to hear it today and come forward. (However, I wouldn't completely rule out that the whole thing is a hoax, either.)

[@richardfan7157]

I discovered such an unknown band called Ruby Faith by chance, via an old TV series that got its original soundtrack replaced due to copyright. Whoever did the replacement soundtrack just took some unknown or failed bands and just threw them in.

So sad the singer is unknown but thanks to yt, this song got listening by millions of peoples.

[@jaketheman091]

I'm SO glad you're covering this topic. Ever since I've heard this song and its story, I've made a habit of finding other songs (and even albums if lucky) from similarly forgotten bands, many of them from the 80s and 90s. In fact, there was a Canadian band in the early 90s named All Good Children with a song called "Ammunition", and for decades, people couldn't figure out the song or the band, until one day they came forward and clarified everything. It was amazing and it turns out they have two full albums - self titled from '91, and Fetish Fetish from '94, where the song is from!

[@nothingiswritten1]

Since the Internet has solved mysterious songs before (as well as other lost media), it would be interesting to see this get solved. It is crazy, as much attention as the song has gotten, that there's still no definitive answer to the song. Maybe one day it'll be solved.

[@JimJWalker]

The song is almost certainly authentic early to mid 1980s. Probably recorded in a typical small studio from that time. The vocal accent to me sounds eastern European. The staccato style guitar rhythms were trending post-1982. My guess is that the song is probably a good sounding demo from a forgotten eastern European garage band from that time. They may have never even played a show.

[@baneverything5580]

And people were so wasted on drugs and alcohol back then that they may not even remember recording this.

[@the_desert_dweller]

we also might consider that the song was made as a Radio jingle, used for various reasons, for commercials spots, background fill music, story telling ect ect.

[@RandomDude19868]

I'm just grateful there is a full version of this.

[@mordaciousfilms]

That ending fade-out with the sustained synth note gives me chills. SO GOOD. Why is it noteworthy he asks? I dunno - I love my new wave/post-punk bands and hunt down the most obscure stuff... it's a cool vibe! I dunno - some songs just hit right.

[@fiaschampion3379]

Has anyone looked into And Also The Trees? They're an european post-punk/goth rock band from the early 80's. Their debut was even produced by one of the members of The Cure and it has a sound similar to their Seventeen Seconds/Faith records. To me this songs sounds like a AATT demo.

[@chiffrygaming]

Damn, the voices sounds pretty identical 😮

[@sashaantidot2444]

A lot of post punk bands of that era sounds like this or vice versa.

[@CosminNeagu]

They sound quite similar but Like The Wind is a lot more compressed, because it's punk rock, the drums and guitars are massive and the track is uptempo. The voices are quite similar, maybe there were some influences.

[@seonpollock5576]

It's an east German song written and performed by the Hoff David Hasselhoff

[@AizaBreathe]

sounds like it. the voice. the mastering. could be something possibly unreleased

[@Tarquin23]

The interesting thing is the lyrics and tone. It’s bleak, somewhat romantic and angst-driven lyrics (at least, what’s audible) and attitude portray a world of potential stalemate and a need to move on from the moment, though the outcome would be uncertain. It’s certainly, if not directly stated, a song of the struggles of young people and their place in the world at that time and location. I really do think that, in line with the likely year (1984), the likely geography (Germany), along with the aforementioned places it as a song of the time during the Cold War and German split.

[@majicdude88]

What’s crazy is the song is a cover of another obscure song that is also unknown lol.

[@mercedesvelasquez8781]

Found out about this song about a year ago.... it is now on my playlist as a favourite! Love it! I reckon it should be pitched up slightly though... ***Edit*** Just watched to the end of your video.. great to see you mentioned the pitch issue! Hopefully we get to find out where it is from some day!!!

[@georgeprice4212]

There's two heavy metal /rock songs I heard in the 80'S I've been searching for...taped them on cassette from a radio show..lost the tapes after lending them out....don't know the bands name ....one song had the words /chorus:' I'm having nightmares..I wake up screaming in the night...must be a nightmare..got me reaching for the light...this can't be real'....and the other song's chorus was : 'I know, an eagle always flies alone'...for decades l always have them in my mind, but can't find them or any info about them...I still keep the first one alive by playing it on guitar for myself, as i still remember all the guitar parts. I was 19 when I first heard them, now I'm 65....wish I could hear them again before I go to the great heavy metal arena in the sky...❤💀

The Most Mysterious Song on The Internet could possibly be a demo by Alvin Dean of Statues in Motion with another band, which seems likely. Though, he never gave a band name. There's no irrefutable proof and that's as close as we've gotten with an answer. So, the mystery remains unofficialy solved.

[@ZapperRS]

SIM is a Greek band

[@Jacksabbath44]

this is a big part of the thread

[@LowQualityCheese]

His voice is similar and it's possibly a side project. Whether he's greek or whatever I don't think matters. It's the most rational answer at this point. If I remember correctly, he claimed both it's his song outside of SiM and it's an unreleased SiM song. There's argument against it being SiM due to the synthesiser. Though, again, he hasn't given irrefutable proof.

[@stevenstice6683]

I can't shake the feeling that "Like The Wind" might actually be more recent than its backstory claims; that it was actually recorded in the 2000s, but made to sound like something out of the 80s; that this isn't the work of an obscure and forgotten band, but of a dedicated troll.

[@almostcensoredconservative3512]

It's Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode. Compare the song to Masters and Servants you can hear the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer that cost 2000 US 1984, highly unlikely that a mysterious band would invest that much and then disappear.

[@TheDeadEndFriendsSound]

The closest I found people turn up is the vocalist sounds just like the Australian/Greek singer from Statues in Motion. He's missing, his band mates don't know about the song,and the music sounds nothing like thier's, so it might of been a side project while Statues in Motion's debut was held up by their label for 18 months.

[@baneverything5580]

My shrink said the same thing!

[@jaketheman091]

As much as I'm still engrossed in this story, I'm with you. Some of its allure also comes from the simple fact that it's a product of the 80s. I'm not sure who's interested in an EP some band uploaded to Soundclick in 2003. Even if they were, and the artist coincidentally deletes it at one point, it's likely lost to time for good. That's one of the reasons why I don't like modern music doing away with physical media. If there's a prolonged internet outage, let's say, then a band can hardly exist except for in a live setting.

[@therealf.b.i9468]

[@tapanipaul]

I think this song is interesting only to a very exclusive group of young folks that haven’t listened to a lot of 80s-era DIY music or goth rock in general. It probably sounds super novel to some 19yo gamer from Kansas or RUSSIA. There’s LOADS of stuff like this (BETTER than this) on cassette tape floating around the world just waiting to be discovered. I’m actually not very keen on this track. Is kinda whack, actually! The vocals are standout (cool goth-rock baritone), but the song is just kind of a power-pop earworm, nothing else…
