"The most mysterious song on the internet"—called so because it was, well, mysterious—is no longer a mystery. A backrooms-tier secret, the song, now apparently ID'd as Subways Of the Mind by FEX, saw consistent use across the information highway precisely because of its enigmatic nature.
So enigmatic, in fact, that it had a whole article written about it in music mag Rolling Stone, which claims that a German by the name of "Darius S." recorded it back in the '80s from a radio program called Musik für junge Leute (Music for Young People) on Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR). "It was just one of many songs I recorded and didn’t know the artist," he told magazine back in 2019: "I believe I didn’t hear an announcement. Maybe I heard it partially and missed the artist’s name. Everything is possible."
