afaik right now we have - "subways of your mind", - its live performance version, - "heart in danger", - "talking hands", - "jenny", - and a 32 second long clip from a currently unidentified song uploaded by scott la pointe to youtube
It's crazy how they performed this live in front of hundreds of people, sold cassettes containing this song, won contests and yet people still couldn't tell who made it.
The only explanation for this is that the group was local, performing within the region where the participants lived. Well, as already noted, all the concert visitors are now well over 60, apparently few of them followed this topic on the Internet.
It’s definitley that this was local to a specific part of germany, 40 years ago, with a band that didn’t get any major in store releases. A majority of the search team was also mainly english, so there’s not only a country border but a language border as well. Trying to find 60-somethings to ask “do you recognise this song” is hard, when many 60-somethings aren’t active online outside of their own family groups.
Back in the 90s, my friends had a band that played in local pubs. I'll bet no one from the audience remembers who they were 30+ years later. There would be thousands of local bands that are gone and exist only in the memories and demo tapes of their old members and friends.
A couple of years I read a comment und a MMSOTI video: "Somewhere out there is a band that doesn"t know anything about this search." Funny how spot on it was.
I feel bad for saying it, but looking at these pictures, I felt a little animosity towards the audience. Like "Where were all you people this whole time?!?" It's not their fault. And I'm a hypocrite because I'm sure I've seen songs at music festivals that I've completely forgotten. I was just surprised by the emotion.
@@MrThomasC22 They are all in their 60 and 70s now. Plus they heard this song once by an amateur band at a festival in 1985. Most would not even get internet for another 15 years or more and even when they did, they would not find anything about this band just like we didn't until now.
To be honest, I felt the same way. However, most people go to concerts for a specific performer or band, so they probably weren't all paying attention to FEX.@@MrThomasC22
I am currently 16 years old, and the truth is that I have followed this case since I was 6 and it gives me a feeling of joy that they have found the band, not only for me but for the people who They actively contributed for so many years, the truth is that it makes me happy and listening to this song is like watching the final credits in a beautiful movie, which will go down in history as a mystery solved, but as the greatest musical mystery in history, long live the most mysterious song on the internet and FEX❤
If FEX ever decides to do merch, I will pay good money for a shirt with the star logo on it!

Thanks to everyone who has done a lot of work so that we can listen to this music now🫡👏 Fex- I want to tell you that you are obliged to give the world many more hits, you are an outstanding band, thousands of people admire your work
this is unironically the coolest bit of 2024, we find the band that did the Most Mysterious Song on the Internet and not only do we get the title and a live version of the song itself but we get like 4 additional bangers from the same band, almost equally unknown.
The bass line is so much hookier and greasier and more ornate on this than the studio tape and it RIPS SO HARD. Seriously this live versions has one of the tastiest rock bass lines I've ever heard.
Thank you FEX, you deserve all the fame and benefit you can get, you are all legends! All of you people who helped with the search and now FEX fans and FEX themselves... You all deserve what you dream! ❤
i just realized - this is definitely close to the release of the original studio version. in the "communication" line, the live version is closer to "there's no sent communication" [studio] rather than "what we needs communication" [demo], although theres also subtle differences such as the use of place instead of space in the first verse, and you came here running rather than you're blowing somewhere [studio] or blowing from somewhere [demo]
To me, the communication line sounds more like "there's nonsense communication" than "there's no sent communication", but either interpretation could potentially be correct.
It's interesting to hear the lyrics develop over time, as in this live performance "there's no place" is said twice rather than "there's no space" being said once and "there's no place" on the 2nd verse. So cool we're getting multiple versions of Subways. Can't wait to see what else you bring us! Rock on, FEX!
I'm still awestruck. After so many years. In a matter of days, we went from a single off-air copy to multiple official versions released to the public.
so glad my phone ringtone finally has another name than "eh i don't know, some people call it blind the wind, and some others call it like the wind, but overall it's the most mysterious song on the internet"
This is such a treasure to have all of these released to us. The photos and multiple versions of the song. Thank you guys for giving us these. It is greatly appreciated.
Wow......me pasé AÑOS intentando encontrar a los autores originales, desde el primer momento que la escuché adoré esta canción. Y me da una sensación muy extraña saber que al fin se resolvió el misterio. Me encanta, gracias por todo
Absolute legends, i love this song it's stuck in my head even before it was found, but after when it was found i loved this song much more than before.
Was thinking the same thing. Granted, they weren't the headliner so most weren't there to see them specifically, but you'd think ONE person in that crowd would have put the puzzle pieces together. Who knows. My dad went to high school with Iggy Pop, and didn't realize it until decades later. Life is crazy.
@@dontrockwobble Another thing to consider is that the search for the song never really went mainstream. As far as internet movements it got fairly large but in the grand scheme of things, it remained pretty obscure. If it were to reach the point of Facebook virality maybe at least one person in the concert would’ve stepped forward.
Man, it's so nice seeing you guys get the recognition you deserve. Thanks for coming together and sharing more with us. Hopefully you guys continue having fun playing and hanging out again.
From Canada here! So happy you finally found out about the search. Looking forwards to the Spotify release and any other stuff you guys put out! Thanks a lot for posting these alternate versions for us to enjoy FEX, you guys ROCK! :)
this search had the best ending ever

still sounds perfect for end credits

Me gusta mucho más está versión original de 1985 🎵🎼🎼🎼🎼
Yo imagino un vídeo de toda la música de calidad de los 80,s y está Rola de fondo en los créditos con FEX Band. 🎵🎼.
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it."

I said that about "someone's dad", idk if that was what you read :)
@@ashkandi1337I just found your comment under Systemicas video. Could have been the one.
Haha, funny enough someone’s answer under that comment is the reason i found out the song was discovered
All the people who went to this concert are like 60-70 years old now .wow
You will be there soon too. Time flies!
If you went to Kiel and talked to enough 60-70 year old music fans, you'd probably find some who remember FEX.
@@TonyMontanaDS yeah, you are right!

i love this version - i love the demo version - i love the unplugged version - i love the fact, that there are so many versions!!
Radio version still to be found.
@@carloscollomps1552 I also like the radio version, the ending is so smooth and final. I wish I could find it in studio quality.

my man was here before it was popular!
I love how every version is slightly unique
I love the final "CHECK IT IN" and the "check it in, chRck it out, its the SUMmer BLUES, TEAR it in, tear it our, its the REAL exCUSE"
Awesome version
"FEX" will definitely become a legendary rock band :D
Not will, have
Band FEX debería hace una gira tour que se llame "Like the wind" 1984 .
That bass really slaps at the end.
Going from an unknown band to performing a very popular song in a matter of DAYS is amazing. I love you, FEX 💛🖤💛
Looking forward to more content with this band! :D
If FEX ever decides to do merch, I will pay good money for a shirt with the star logo on it!
EDITED TO INCLUDE LYRICS:
Like the wind
You came here runnin'
Take the consequence of livin'
There's no place
There's no tomorrow
There's no sense communication
Check it in, check it out
But the Sun will never shine
Paranoid, anyway
In the subways of your mind
Like the wind
You came here runnin'
Let a smile be your companion
There's no place
For any sorrow
Time for young & restless dreamin'
Check it in, check it out
But the Sun will never shine
Paranoid, anyway
In the subways of your mind
Check it in, check it out
But the Sun will never shine
Paranoid, anyway
In the subways of your mind
Check it in, check it out
It's the summer blues
Tear it in, tear it out
It's the real excuse
Check it in, check it out
It's the summer blues
Tear it in, tear it out
It's the real excuse
Check it in, check it out
It's the summer blues
Tear it in, tear it out
It's the real excuse
Check it in, check it out
It's the summer blues
Tear it in, tear it out
It's the real excuse
Check it in!
I will print a T-shirt with a logo on a sublimation printer myself and I will be the only one in Russia)

They said they are working on it.
A merch collab with @JustinWhangYt would be sooo cool
No one remembers cause every person in the audience time traveled there to see Fex live!
there should be a documentary about both FEX & the search for Subways of Your Mind with this as the opening theme
Never been so happy to be alive before.
I'd go to a Fex Show.
i would pay good money too!
@@WingsandBlades257 i'd pay double

the way he stares is terrifying
I love the lead synth here, we could only imagine how hard this song slapped there on the concert
What a time to be alive!
Ive got a favourite band. Its the kind of rock I like.
You'll like Depeche Mode's Speak and Spell album then, it's pretty similar
Also band "METRO DECAY" has an album with some similar songs
Thank you FEX, you deserve all the fame and benefit you can get, you are all legends! All of you people who helped with the search and now FEX fans and FEX themselves... You all deserve what you dream! ❤
if they release a physical record id pay top dollar for it
I wonder what those cassettes sold at the concert are worth nowadays.🤔
previously worthless, now $1,000 at least
@@GreenOnion62 They haven’t appeared on eBay yet, but if they do appear, they will cost quite a bit anyway.

What a journey... I feel nostalgic although I was born in 1992 but somehow feel a connection to that song.
Should cover it...

I'm so happy for this band. They've got to be overwhelmed in a good way.
This "check it in, check it out" line kicks so hard for me. Can listen it on repeat over and over again.
The story of this song is my favourite story from the Rock-n-roll industry as a whole.
God I love this, is so good, keyboards are amazing, very nice vocals, drums, bass, all of it. FEX was and is a good band!
I'm still awestruck. After so many years. In a matter of days, we went from a single off-air copy to multiple official versions released to the public.
