I can hear how you may think it's that but it does not make sense. "It's along way away in the subways of your mind" makes sense. I can also hear how some may think it says "your gonna suffer" but since when does wind suffer. Like the wind, your goin' somewhere, let a smile be your companion. I can also hear "let this song be your companion, or let a song be your companion" but I am going to go with let a smile for now. I have seen many other interpretations of the lyrics as well. Yu has a good version. This is typical of rock and roll and its predecessor rhythm and blues. It is often difficult to make out the words. It was even worse when I was a kid, listening to music on an AM transistor radio that faded in and out as you moved and had a speaker about the size of a quarter. PS: Randal Turner looks too young to be involved in this, and he seems a bit unhinged.
@@frankfielder Now that I think about it, I believe that it’s “They’re a long dirty way.” But yeah, I agree with the “You’re gonna suffer” part, because I hear it as “You’re gone in summer/somwhere.”

Von Claus's drums. You can hear more of his on the 1985 Forward Music Quintet Album. He and Alvin Dean were in the short lived Greek band 'Homicide' before this and there is a picture of Von Claus in full on New Wave regalia on a bus in Greece during the '80's floating around on the internet!
Thanks! I worked with a friend to digitally separate the tracks and then cleaned them up individually, worked EQ on them, and then cleaned up and boosted bass tones for bass track and drums. Also leveled out some of the guitar and the synth tracks!
@@thephalkon6140 Hey did you notice if the first half of the song seemed to be spliced together with the second part, especially how there is no guitar in the second part of the song and Alvin Dean's voice seems younger, despite the over lay of a more modern Synthesizer. Let me know when you can!
@@thephalkon6140 The guitar is actually really twangy and recorded in a lo fi way. If you listen to Yannis Beltekis guitar in the song "Know your game" it will sound just like this. It is an older sounding riff reminiscent of the 70's more than the '80's. Also, there is a Reggai Ska Bassline in the background of 'Like the Wind", something most Ska bands of the early '80's used to play. The greek band Sharp Ties has a hit song 'Get that beat' from the early '80's and it has that ska bass beat to it just like "Like The wind." The Greek Group 'Homicide', which had Alvin Dean on Vocals, Kostas Pouthalakis on Guitar, Yannis (Johnny) Beltekis on bass, and Von Claus on Drums has been considered a "Ska" band even though we have no copy of any song they made in the small time they were together. "Like the wind" seems like it would absolutely be a "Homicide" song. This band broke up quickly, but within a matter of days, Pouthalakis had a new band "The Reporters" making Greek Dark Wave english songs as did Alvin dean with Statues in motion and Von Claus with Forward Music Quintet. I think those guys each got a share of "Homicide's" Music and it was put out by each band within the next couple of years. It reminds me of how Curt Cobains wife and Drummer form Nirvana were able to have a few good nirvana sounding hits after Curt Cobain passed away. yeah Cobain's music was promptly taken by others in my opinion. I think "Homicide" Broke up because they couldn't figure out whether to be New Wave or Rock.
Excellent remaster! really nearly perfect! there is that dip in volume though when the second half begins which feels like its from an older tape spliced with a newer one. Great Work and hey let people know who you think sang this song! what's you theory?
the jury is still out on that one! i'm part of the reddit group trying to find out who it is. personally, i think it was a three person band, who just disappeared...
Similar guitar. In fact the Canadian Guitarist from Cutting crew possibly hear this song while on tour in Europe and went looking on vacation in Greece for the Band and the Guitarist who made it.
I like it, reminds me the 80s germany band First Aircrash In Nevada , maybe are related. Check P.A.P. independent tape label founded by Jens-Markus Wegener (or ask him if possible, he might know this band.)
Music, text and style sounds like, or maybe influenced by Russian singer Viktor Tsoi and his band Kino, if the band was from East Germany. Very similar. But maybe I am wrong. Just my feeling.
YOU CAN REALLY TELL IT NOW! THAT IS CHRISTIAN BRANDL WITHOUT A DOUBT!! RONNIE URINI CLAIM TO HAVE COLLABORATED WITH CHRISTIAN BRANDL ON THE SONG. I DO BELIEVE MAYBE CHRISTIAN BRANDL WANTED TO DO A SOLO SONG OR MAYBE A FEW. SOME ARTISTS ARE IN BANDS WANT TO REMAIN BUT DO A SOLO PROJECT ON THE SIDE. THERE ARE ALOT OF ARTISTS WHO HAVE DONE THAT. I DON'T THINK THAT RONNIE URINI IS LYING ABOUT IT. HE COULD CLAIM HE DID THE SONG BUT HE IS NOT DOING THAT. HE IS ACTUALLY SAYING WHO DONE THE SONG. HE IS ONLY CONFIRMING THAT HE COLLABORATED WITH CHRISTIAN BRANDL. HE IS NOT CLAIMING HE DID THE WHOLE SONG AND SUNG IT. IN MY MIND IT IS CHRISTIAN BRANDL. THAT IS MY OPINION.
Alvin dean sounds the same way in the beginning of This song as he does in 1984 on the Song GHOST, BUT he sounds younger in the second half of the song, I think Yannis Beltakis helped him to splice the two versions together adding his (or Kostas Pouthalakis's original Greek 'Homicide') guitar riff at the beginning and letting Forward Music Quintet copy Billy Knight's synth work for the final half.
it's The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet. it's been an ongoing search for almost 20 years trying to find the band... or even the actual name of the song.
Doubt it. If it was, this was before they were famous, but the search has been going on for 20 years. Surely some famous band would have definitively claimed it as theirs by now, but nobody who has has proven to have been telling the truth, though I doubt they were intentionally lying. Far more likely, it was either some East German band who got their music smuggled out of the USSR and broke up for whatever reason, not the least of which being Soviet oppression, before the Berlin Wall came down, or they were West German, but either way, sadly, it's possible none of them are with us anymore, or, more optimistically, at least one of them is still alive today, but they're unaware for various reasons of the internet and the search for the song.
It is funny because they were popular in Germany around this time. I thought it might be them so I listened to some old tapes and thought it was close but no cigar. My dad thought it was Depeche Mode but I highly doubt it.
0:50 After hearing this a lot clearer, I can say for certain that he’s saying “Paranoid anyway.” Good job!
i think the next lyric is "the sunwaves of your mind" because of the themes of the sun and summer in the song
It's Subways in reference to East Germans using old subway tunnels to escape the East.
he's also definitely saying "Blues" at 2:34
I can hear how you may think it's that but it does not make sense. "It's along way away in the subways of your mind" makes sense. I can also hear how some may think it says "your gonna suffer" but since when does wind suffer. Like the wind, your goin' somewhere, let a smile be your companion.

Paranoid anyway in the subways of your mind

You're goin' somewhere
Let a smile be your companion
There's no place
And there's no sorrow
Hear the young and restless dreamer
Check it in, check it out or the sun will never shine
Paranoid anyway in the subways of your mind
Check it in, check it out or 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

Better long dirty way in the subways of your mind

It would be amazing if this case is solved this year, this is the definitive lost media
it is apparently by a band called "Statues in Motion" and was never released
@@rickandmortyfan649 this is not a credible lead. Highly doubted
@@rickandmortyfan649 dawg we're not sure, there's like 3 possible theories but we don't know the reality
@@rickandmortyfan649they said that it’s not by them and they confirmed that it’s not theirs

At this rate we'll have a custom-made studio version by the time it's found
Nope, it's going to happen after it's found ;-)

@@johngarcia1340 So is this in fact an Alvin Dean solo song?
@@scottlapointe1505 don't believe him, he just really believes that alvin made the song.
@@Nickmakesmusickinda Not sure... he might have... might have not... we never know :3
The drums really pop on this version!
Sounds better than the original. A bit brighter and less muddy.

@@johngarcia1340my theory is that the guitarist is the singer. And thats why he's only playing rhythm the whole time.

I must say this is the best remaster so far.
Holuo chec out my remaster and tell me what you think
@@Nehemiah64pettIt's decent
Damn. I love this
The secret becomes evident😊
When we finally break this riddle, it will be like the last scene from The Ninth Gate

I have dreams about a garage band singing this song and I'm usually the guy on the mic.
Weird dreams I'm having, I tell you
Nice chord sequences! 🙂 And bass line.
music sound bit like '' I just died in your arms tonight''
Similar guitar. In fact the Canadian Guitarist from Cutting crew possibly hear this song while on tour in Europe and went looking on vacation in Greece for the Band and the Guitarist who made it.
@@johngarcia1340Cutting Crew actually has been looked into and reached out. Doesn't look like they are the peeps, or know who they are

Banging.. This song some hoe feels like the Missing Link.
Is the search for this still going?

@@JoshuaRWorkman or, super optimistically, they are all alive and going to make a new recording of it soon
@@RennieAsh Turns out they are and do want to, if they haven't already. They did record an acoustic version the other day.
Super re ok
Outro is too short
that's just how the song ends :/
Sounds like the singer from the greek band statues in motion....they made one album in 1983.
It’s really the song of rythm os Depeche mode perhaeps first song no-official????
@@jordyvdb23 Depeche Mode was already known about 3-4 years before this song was recorded.
It is funny because they were popular in Germany around this time. I thought it might be them so I listened to some old tapes and thought it was close but no cigar. My dad thought it was Depeche Mode but I highly doubt it.
it isn't depeche mode, the vocal delivery is similar to a few dm songs around 82 - 84.
Definitely Depeche Mode inspired.
Dave Gahan???
From what we've gathered so far, probably not. Also, Depeche Mode didn't start incorporating guitar until their Violator album
Clickbait.
You got me good.
how is it clickbait
This song is awesome 😎👍
You don't make sense
Comment bug guys
AI going retro?
It's the Most Mysterious Song on the Internet... have you not looked into this?
Conclusively not AI as it can be traced back to the early 2000s if not older
Definitely not. The song was recorded on German radio in the 1980's from a program called in English Music For Young People.
1983- 1984
Yes, that's right the show. Was named Musik für Leute von heute
