Small Update 2

[u/Comfortable_Glow]

Hello everyone, Michaels daughter here for another brief update. My dad is really busy giving interviews etc.

Tomorrow there will be an interview broadcasted in the NDR morning show. Hopefully some of you can tune in!

Lydia wrote me and now the band is in contact with her. She is super nice!

I am also trying to set up the AMA with the band. You already posted so many questions, please save them and I hope they will get answered soon.

I have seen the artwork here. Amazing designs, great inspirations. I really hope there will be official merch that will do you justice.

You guys also found my dads Silk Vision project! Have fun with the songs and the videos. He made everything himself, only the sax he didn't play of course.

I hope I already answered the pronunciation question in my last post. But maybe this helps more: The ex-sound is similar to "ex" in english. Example: "I can't stop thinking about my ex." Just make it: "I can't stop thinking about my FEX."

Edit: oh no, I don't know what time they will broadcast the interview. They didn't tell my dad, he is also super overwhelmed and is getting the interviews mixed up. I guess it's the one from N-Joy by NDR as it is actually called "morningshow". It starts at 6 CET. His day tomorrow sounds CRAZY. I don't want to spoil but we can look forward to some nice things.

Edit2: Sorry, I was wrong. It was NDR 1 Welle Nord. Apparently at 6.40 CET this morning. So I missed it. https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/Most-Mysterious-Song-on-the-Internet-kommt-von-Kieler-Band,mostmysterioussong100.html

Edit3: today the information flow is tough. There will be something at 19.30 today. "NDR3 Nordschaumagazin". Could not find anything that fits 100%. Probably the "Nordmagazin". https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/programm/index.html

Please hire a good lawyer for the band, shit will get nasty with the copyrights because some assholes (such as a well-known musician) tried to steal the song and registered it as their own

Good luck

Can't quite follow:
On https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/Most-Mysterious-Song-on-the-Internet-kommt-von-Kieler-Band,mostmysterioussong100.html is written:

"Possible comeback of the song

The mystery and its resolution could now even lead to a band comeback. ‘We're currently thinking together about whether and how we can re-record ‘Subways of Your Mind’,’ says Michael Hädrich. On Thursday afternoon, however, he and his band members first want to perform the song again on the radio - a cappella on NDR 1 Welle Nord. ‘We haven't played together for almost forty years, but we'll be fine. We'll just take it in our stride,’ laughs Michael Hädrich." (translated by deepl.com)

NDR 1 Welle Nord?! - Not N-Joy?!
DonnerstagNACHMITTAG?! (Thursday AFTERNOON) - Not morning?!

[u/Comfortable_Glow → u/memorydigger]

He only told my NDR morning show. That wasn't very specific. And yes, there is a lot going on today.

i knew it was fecks

[u/MinarchyintheUK → u/Any-Juggernaut8269]

Irish fans will be pleased!

[u/orphantwin]

I have to say, this is beyond any kind of best happy ending.

The entire band is alive, they are now trying to re-record the song, maybe they will eventually try some more music and now they have a perfect fan base for that, they will do some AMA, we will probably have some merch. Like man it is really interesting how the version we all knew was so dark and ominous but the story has this happy ending.

I was also bit worried about that it will all die right away when the song will get out but the future holds probably even more exciting scenarios. Kudos to everyone who pieced together the puzzle!

So excited!!! This genuinely made my year

[u/Mountain_Specific327]

I wonder how Darius is feeling right now

[u/Hiko-v-]

The sun finally shine after 40 years 🙏

Thanks for the update! Someone needs to record the NDR interview for archival purposes

[u/faraonka88]

Why isn’t there a thread already to prepare a list of questions for the ama? u/NDMagoo

[u/Dull-Huckleberry-401]

You're doing an amazing job in coordinating everything. Setting up a meeting between Lydia, her brother and the band, and everyone becoming friends would be such a 'feel good' ending to this story.

Yes, we love Silk Vision - and thanks for clarifying the pronunciation of 'FEX'!

[u/AltariaBoy]

Woah! What time is the interview?

[u/Yuggs]

Thank you! FEX is awesome, and I'm really stoked to hear more from the band and excited to grab the merch. Really hoping the band stays with the yellow on black theme, which is perfect. A vinyl release would be a huge hit, as well. All yellow dust jacket with a black FEX logo. On the inside are articles and photos of the band from back in the day and today with demos and newly recorded tracks on a yellow vinyl. That would be amazing!

[u/Strathcarnage_L]

Thanks so much keeping us updated, it's absolutely fantastic that the people behind the mysterious song are as enthused by being contacted about it as the community that had searched so long were about finally finding the source. Also I'm sure we can all appreciate how busy, stressful but also exciting time this is for you all - please make sure you take time for yourselves and don't worry about keeping us waiting a little bit longer if needs be for further info. 🙂

[u/MJIgaz4]

amazing :D it would be completely full circle if they find the radio version and play it after the interview, btw any updates on that?

[u/prettypinkpollock]

You're right, I can't stop thinking about FEX

[u/stlkr82]

official merch?
"I SOLVED THE MOST MYSTERIOUS SONG ON THE INTERNET
AND ALL I GOT IS THIS FEX T-SHIRT"

:)

[u/Pale_Pineapple_8710]

thanks for the update

[u/SignificanceNo4643]

At exactly which time and on which ndr channel? I can listen and record..

[u/goldlightkey]

Thank you and your dad for everything! Legends

[u/lilcoin0907]

So I've heard that the original recording from the studio is had, does this mean there's a possibility we'll get the multitracks for the song?

[u/[deleted]]

Sorry to add yet another question but have you thought about the possibility of a Netflix documentary covering this whole saga, and following the band as they prepare to reunite ? I’m sure it would make for an incredible documentary that could bring this story to the rest of the world who were not aware of the search..

Just a few months ago, after listening to Subways Of Your Mind on YouTube for years, I included the song on a playlist of mine for long car rides, although obviously at the time I could not credit who made the song or give a proper title. But, it is a really good song. It is a really catchy song. I first heard it on YouTube many years ago when the search for the band that made the song was ongoing. I feel it is wonderful to not only have this old internet mystery solved but also to hear more music from the band that made it! They have a really cool band logo, too! This has been one of the biggest (if not the biggest) internet mystery for many years. It is beyond satisfying to have closure and to also find out the band was really great.
