>Original song was finally found 2 months ago
I know it's not really Vaporwave from a musical sense, but as Lostwave and the feelings it evoked during this 17 year old mystery definitely makes me think of vapor.>>5783650
Never heard it before, what's the story?>>5783686
>German guy listens to radio on his free time, decides to record and make playlists
>All the song names and authors are given by the radio DJ, except one (the one I posted)
>Guy tries to figure out who is responsible for the song, nobody in the radio seems to know, nobody in his near circle knows either, eventually the cassette is stored and kind of forgotten until her daughter(?) finds it and takes it to the internet
>Dubbed "Blind/Like the Wind", the lyrics are very hard to parse, the singer isn't a native english speaker
>Slowly but surely people from all over the world start finding little things about the song
>A lot of them end up being false leads, including some dudes copyrighting the song and claiming ownership
>This goes on for years, still nothing found
>A couple months ago a guy finds a random german newspaper from 1984 in an archive talking about a band named FEX winning a contest with their song "Subways of your mind", person manages to contact the band and they confirm that the song is theirs, release their demo recordings and live performances, they never knew their song has been a mystery for decades
That's the abridged version more or less. Helps that the song does indeed sound really mysterious and cool.>>5783705
Interesting, I assume the band was German too? I would not have guessed they were non-native English speakers from that song, I just figured the singing style was intentionally kinda droney>>5783870
Yeah, Bad was German. European New wave basically only wrote songs in semi-broken english, same thing that happened with Italo Disco, so figuring out the lyrics was a mystery in and out of itself.
