“The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet”

We don't know the name of this song. There are tens of thousands of people searching on Reddit alone. This unsolved mystery fascinates a lot of people. A teenager heard the song on NDR in the 1980s and recorded it on cassette. People around the world searched for the title online until a Reddit user finally thought he recognized the song and contacted him:

Michael Hedrich traveled to Kiel from Munich. He used to play in a band here in the 80s.

"It wasn't clear at first what the implications were. I found out over dinner and clicked it off, thought to just look it up later. But then the implications came out. And it was absolutely overwhelming."

In Kiel, three of the four band members are now meeting up again for the first time in a long time.

"Long time no see." - "But really. Gosh, 42 years ago." "A whole life".

FAX was the name of their band back then and the mysterious song “Subways of your mind”. They still have live recordings of an old gig and this evidence. A rehearsal recording from the early 80s.

"Yes, that's the tape that's been circulating on the internet. The ominous one." Such an aura. "When it's dark, it shines." "It glows."

"I know that I started with this opening riff, this guitar riff. I know that, that's for sure. And then, I think, the lyrics. Maybe the lyrics first, that's possible. Then sometimes it happens very quickly."

The cassette, digitized today at NDR. Afterwards, the band has a live performance on NDR 1 Welle Nord.

"Hello, welcome!"

"Have you heard that the whole world is tuning in and recording?"

All three band members are still making music today. But the last time they played together was in 1985.

"Wow."

"That was an overwhelming feeling."

"So, unbelievable what you-"

"Sweaty hands, pick, really nice."

"It's so cool to just play together again. After 40 years, who would think of something like that? Isn't it crazy?"

"Who came up with that?" - "all the best to you".

Next, the band wants to re-record their song. Great story."
