Simon Whistler just covered it on his "Decoding the Unknown" channel, so had to search it out. Sounds like a lot of music I'd have heard when I was in high school; got that familiarity, though I know I haven't heard this specific one before. Makes me think of Sisters of Mercy, just based on the singer's voice and tempo of the song.
@@YaR0MyR Maybe Whoever Originally made this Song is in Heaven that could be why all of these Years Later in 2020 that They still haven't come out to tell Us why They made this Song and what The Lyrics are and what The Meaning of The Song is
@@GryphonBrokewing Well Wang and plenty of Other People have already looked into Sisters of Mercy and They didn't make this Song actually Nobody knows Who made why They made it
The fastest way to find out who made the song is to use it in a commercial product and see who sues you.
They'd have to sue from the grave.
maybe, but that may not even work, hell you can't even get copyright striked for using it in a video or game
The song has been blasted to death on radio and CZcams and also all over the internet. If there was a copyright on it people would have been sued already.
The best part of this entire song is that you can’t get a copyright strike because nobody knows who the fuck made it

Yes
I heard its a short romans demo. I heard some songs by them and they have almost the same style of music. Just pitch this song up and listen to short romans. Youll b surprised
@@jamesfawbush1437 holy shit, you may be onto something! I just listened to their song "37 Guitars", which was released the same year this recording was made, and it does sound like it could very well have come from the same band who recorded this. I know that looking through their Discogs page it lists the band as having released one album and one EP in 1984, so this could have come from a demo tape the band shopped around the year before. I know producers will often make alterations to songs musical artists compose, including speeding up the tempo and pace of songs to make them sound poppier, easier to dance to, and/or more radio friendly, so if the rest of the band's 1984 recordings are like "37 Guitars" I could see how one of them would've started off life as this song.
This song is gonna be everywhere in the Doom community from now on.
true
@@Flinch9000 myhouse.pk3
This song shure makes a kickass background track to the cyber demon boss or the two barons at the end of the first chapter after repeatedly dieing and respawning
@@gabrielc7861 I’m guessing it’s either or
@@Flinch9000 i got chills when this was being played over the montage footage during the video essay about that wad when the demons were sieging the gas station and the protagonist had to kill them all to get to the true ending to find happiness. (and it is striking me just how insane this sounds to someone who doesn't know what we're talking about.)
In an alternate universe, Like the Wind was revealed to be from a movie from 1986 about a similar plot to The Interlopers, featuring two vengeful people trying to murder each other. People have a hard time trying to isolate the shouting and swearing from the film. Ulterior Motives is clean and complete, but no one knows the name.
The saddest part is that this song captures the time period so well, it really just nails it. I can only imagine how good it would have been if the group had been able to record it properly in a good studio with a talented engineer to make it shine. And that guitar, it just takes you somewhere all on its own.
This griddy aesthetic only adds atmosphere to this song for me at least. I think it's perfect as it is. It truly fits with it's style
It is SO 80s!
I wonder if there’s some indie filmmakers who have no budget deciding to put this song in one of their films/shortfilms. Literally no one can sue them lol

That could be how we find it!
Untill the artist is found, then you're gonna have some big problems
I literally put this song in the credits of a couple of my short films as a joke
and if they find the artist yay mystery solved
I'm starting to think this song kinda embodies the phrase "you are not ready for this yet, but your kids are gonna love it"
Holy shit true
to be fair, if this came out when it was created itd still be some kind of hit. this is absolutely peak 80s
@@yorgiP it did...
@@aliveslice my bad, i heard it was an unreleased demo
@@yorgiP Nope, the whole start of this meme was some dude remembered hearing it on the radio.

He probably recorded the song and left the studio never to come back, thinking how memory of the recording will fade away. But now all of us share that memory.
Who knows, maybe one day we will find artist who made that song
One thing's for sure: This song was a work of LOVE by whoever made it. This shit HITS. I hope someone can find the OG artist soon.

Tbh it still kinda feels a little eerie
Even if we end up never ever finding the truth about this song, I'm just glad that the one song that gets to hold the title of the "Most Mysterious" is one that evokes such an overwhelming wave of nostalgia
"Somewhere, in another dream. The version of myself that winked back is sitting on the real beach, happy and content. Knowing that life is finite, there is no afterlife, and happiness is found in the small things we can control. Happiness has to be fought for."

Unless you are a girl, then for some fucking reason you get infinite rights.
this song is unironically catchy, and has that feeling of a movie end credit and everything is coming to an grand ending, and it has a pretty nice groove too and not just a bland completely on time song
agreed, it's main motif also kinda sounds a bit sad somehow
@@davisdf3064 it sounds sad because of the minor chords that are nicely blended in, i believe they are minor 7 chords or 9 chords instead of just minor, so it doesn’t sound completely sad, and it’s only a small part of the progression, so it’s like we start off with happy, then we get sentimental then we get lifted back up again and repeat. it’s a very common progression and that’s because it works so well, and this song utilises that nicely
i could be wrong tho my ears aren’t really that good but it sounds like it
Agreed. This is why I understood why one of the theories about the song and why it's so hard to identify it says that it was made for the soundtrack of some obscure B movie that got lost in time, some early '70s-late '80s B movies I saw definitely had the kind of theme songs that could've easily been hits if released on their own.
Yes. It feels like the credits are rolling after you solved a mystery inside a tribute made by a friend to another.
“You did write our band name when you sent off that song, right? RIGHT?”
I don't remember
😂😂
I got my dad listening to this (he's a musical digger born in 68 (& we're French) who loved the punk/new wave style back then) without telling him anything else than "do you know who this is?"(He's my shazam fr) .. His first reaction was "I dont really like german songs... but this also sounds like Depeche Mode, its probably from 1985". Really blown my mind that he was able to say "german" as his english is worse than mine and that I didn't noticed the "german accent" everyone is talking about on this song and he replied "its not about the accent but the style!"

Who knew that a mysterious song with an unknown artist would make it's way into a reality warping doom mod
This song fits the mysterious and confusing liminal existentialism of My House. Its a song of unknown origin that sounds so familiar to so many people yet, we will likely never find out the missing information of this track. Its perfect.
@@relser187 Yknow what? That's true.
This song paired with that quote bodies me every time
The lyrics are even somewhat fitting: "Check it in, check it out, or the sun will never shine! Paranoid anyway in the subways of your mind!"
A lot of people can interpret the house as being his inner monologue, like his inner thoughts, not knowing how to fully grieve the loss of his best friend, and love of his life, with some dark and twisted memories, and after literally battling his inner demons, he finally finds peace and acceptance.
“ I had a dream once”
Fun fact. This song is actually from the future. In 2063, there's going to be yet another 1980s revival. That's why the accent sounds weird.

Why do people describe this as creepy and eerie? It’s genuinely a great song
I don't know who says it's creepy. I think it's cool
its eerie cause nobody knows who created the song
Because no one knows who made it, you can only barely make out the lyrics due to the singer's unidentifiable accent, and it has a melancholy, otherworldly feel to it.
@@ElFreakinCid”Melancholy, otherworldly feel” 😂 Man y’all are trippin this sounds like some Tears for Fears classic, just the fact that nobody knows who made it makes it even slightly creepy, but even then it’s just a catchy new wave song.
I think people say that because nobody knows where it’s from or who made it
Despite the lack of clarity due to the tape deterioration, you can tell this band could actually play and really put some effort into this. The drummer and bassist were killing it on the rhythm, and the guitar and synth lines, though simple, were clean and direct. It pretty much sounds like a mid to late 80s song that should have been a hit.
Yeah, watch it be like their only song or something and we'll get no more, theyre probably all old now and dont know about it becoming famous, everyone ask their granddads for this song
Go check KISS - Strutter, this song is a just rip off 😂
@rudhimediastara how?
Yes, it is. You can clearly hear the similarity.
after Ulterior Motives, Stop Making Me Cry, La Cancion de Alicia, Kenya Song, and all the other lost songs that have been found /proven fake (r.i.p Digital Girl) i really hope that this will be next.
So, this is the final boss of Lost Music.
Fantastic track that sounds so familiar. Has a touch of that "Depeche Mode" sound in it. As a station operator i'd put it in rotation.
Yes. Especially vocals
My thoughts too, it sound like Depeche Mode. The night it was registered by the man who first asked who the band was it was played among many other famous English-speaking bands on a German radio station, and Depeche Mode had been active for four years already... I wouldn't exclude the possibility it's a song Depeche Mode later scrapped and never released as a single or in an album (as dumb and impossible the possibility sounds)
I've listened to a ton of Depeche Mode, and other than this definitely sounding 80s, it didn't make me think of Depeche Mode at all.
The voice is similar to David Gahan's of Depeche Mode, because it's deep, but the recording clarity is not as clear on the vocals as Depeche Mode vocals are. A song where the singer sounds exactly like David Gahan to me is Mothers Talk by Tears for Fears. The Great Commandment by Camouflage sounds a ton like Depeche Mode, as well as the more modern band/singer, And One.
I don't know, the accent of the singer seems distinctly German to me. I think this is likely an English song made by a German band, much like Peter Schilling's Major Tom had an English version as well.
This version really makes the song shine. It shows how professional the musicians are. This is not a half-baked demo tape by some amateurs, like many suggest. Could have been a massive hit in the 80s.
How can you tell ?
@@holbeincrane4130 I would be surprised if amateurs could sing like that. Even the instruments seem to be played by professionals
@@rouisly3910 But what specific details makes this professional for you ? I don't know much about music so to me, this could be anything

this is the Liminal Space of music, so close to familiar yet still foreign enough, its so bizarre and intriguing
And it's origins, sometimes unknown
Liminal space heh
Irony always strikes twice...
that is a genuine thing! it's called liminal music, and usually it's not so blaring and loud, like music you'd hear in a calming department store, now sounding a little distorted and messed up, as if it is just dilapidated as the place you're exploring now.
Or the music version of Goncharov.
It wild, that’s someone’s voice. Someone who lived, who laughed, who cried, who’d loved. We don’t have any idea who it is. He could’ve died in the 80’s leaving the identity of this song behind. And we have no idea.
We live, we love, we lie
I saw a comment saying it’s from a demo recorded in the 80’s and the guy has passed already.
@@saraiinez8790it’s not confirmed
It's probably someone we used to know
The singer is most likely Alvin Dean aka George Dalambira, formerly the singer of Statues in Motion. He's still alive, though he doesnt seem to want anything to do with his past life in music. Look him up if you're interested.
This song is such an enigma to me. Not because of the mystery. It feels all over the place. So joyful, so melancholy. It's lyrics understandable yet incomprehensible. It's like aliens found a series of songs from the 80's and tried their very best to replicate it.
Now that everyone knows that has been found I’m getting kinda worried about this one

LYRICS:
Like the wind
You came here running
Face the consequence of leavin'
There's no space
There's no tomorrow
There's no sent communication
Check it in, check it out
Or the sun won't ever shine
A very long dirty way
Hits the subway of your mind
Like the wind
You're going somewhere
Let a smile be your companion
There's no place
And there's no sorrow
Here's the young and restless dreaming
Check it in, check it out
Or the sun will never shine
A very long dirty way
Hits the subway of your mind
Check it in, check it out
Or the sun will never shine
A very long dirty way
Hits the subway 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
At one point I thought I heard the line “beauty is not a sin here”
Like The Wind,
You Came here running,
Change the consequences of leaving,
There's no space, There's no tommorow,
There's no sents of communication,
Check it in check it out, Or the sun won't ever shine.
And there's a long dirtway when ur stuck with up your mind.
Like The Wind,
You're going somewhere, let a smile be a compagnion,
There's no places, and there's no sorrow
In the young and restless dream,
Check it in Check it out or the sun won't ever shine,
and there's a long dirtway when ur stuck with up ur mind,
Check it in Check it out or the sun won't ever shine,
And there a long dirtway when ur stuck with up ur mind,
Check it in Check it out cuz it's summer blues,
Tear in it Tear it out cuz it's the real you,
Check it in Check it out cuz it's summer blues,
Tear in it Tear it out, cuz it's the real you..
Those lyrics are the wrong ones
By my ear, that's very close. I'm hearing "Take the consequence of leaving" as "take the consequence of living" and "There's no sent communication" as "There's no sense for new division"
I heared a quiet z at "Hear the young and restless dreaming", so it could be "Here's the young and restless dreaming"
8 billion people on the planet and none know who made this brilliant song, and we might never know.
I don’t think even 10 million people know this song exists, or know that people are trying to figure out who made it.
There are probably a lot of people who know who made the song, but just doesn’t know others are looking for it.
At least 3 people do know... And you can bet they're taking their secret into their graves sadly.
This song sucks.
I remember hearing about this song years ago, and I read in a comment that it was apparently a band from Germany
Christian Brandl from the austrian band Chuzpe recording a demo for a song that never came to fruition, with the lyrics eerily foreshadowing his death in 1987.
So catchy. I love the 80’s.
The song seems to be transparently about escapees crossing from east to west Germany during the Cold War. “Like the wind you came running”, “take the consequence of leaving”, “there’s no sent communication”, “check-it-in check-it-out” (a weird lyric until you realise it’s a reference to Checkpoint Charlie). This would have been a number one preoccupation of west Berliners in the mid-80s. Since it’s “you came running” it should be a west European song, and it’s presumably West German since it seems to have been recorded from West German radio. Since it doesn’t seem to have been professionally mixed it’s probably a demo tape that got sent to the DJ which they gave airtime to because - you know - it’s quite good..
Lyrically it’s almost a precursor to Scorpions’ Wind of Change, which was about the fall of the iron curtain a few years later (although the songs don’t sound alike)
that's a good one. I saw the song first paired with snippets of fighter aircraft and i myself can't rid myself from thinking it's about nuclear war - that could also explain the chorus, "checkin' in, checkin' out" as sort of military jargon, the sun would never shine cause well... it'd be all over and the subway would be where people would be going to hide, perhaps to never see that sun again. The first verse i think would really fit that, the second, not so much probably.
The oddest thing is this sounds so fucking familiar yet so foreign! I feel like I've listened to this song before but I don't think I have! It's an odd sense of deja vu, I don't know how else to put it!
Because it sounds like a Depeche Mode demo or Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms"
its the general timing and the guitar fill 0:26
to me it sounds like one of those generic sounding songs that movies and video games use to fill the environment, although this one is perfectly done

@@MillenniaPoductions Because even _if_ someone tried to "whip" something from history, physical evidence would still remain. The Soviet Union made significant, government-wide efforts to wipe things and people from history, and even then evidence remained because they just couldn't wipe away everything. Just look up Censorship of images in the Soviet Union on Wikipedia. But if you're talking about something magical or paranormal wiping something from history than nevermind because that is just BS.
You made it sound more haunting, it feels like I'm in an abandoned garage and am hearing this echo through the garage like some sort of ghost performance. Other than that it's a good remaster.
If they were old enough to make this good of a song in the early 80's, there's a very good chance they could be dead by now. There's a chance you *are* listening to just that
@@ApexOceanPredator They were probably in their early 20s, possibly even teenagers. They'd only be in their 60s now. Even if they were in their 30s, they'd still just be 70ish. The 80s wasn't as long ago as you're letting yourself believe lol.

This song is now truly the most mysterious song on the internet now that EKT was found
The hilarious thing of it is that this music is mysterious completely by accident. What's most likely is some no-name indie band from the 80s submitted their track to a radio station and forgot about it completely. The band never took off, and its members probably found jobs, probably wives and families.
Fast forward 40 years or so, and it becomes an internet meme. It makes me wonder if the guys who made the song remember it, are aware of its internet fame, or are even still alive. (If you were 30 in 1983, you'd be in your 70s now, and a lot of people don't even make it that far.)
Of course they do remember it! They refuse to come forward because they love people wondering who made it.
I think you're right on this one, just a hidden gem re-discovered
Yep, especially since it's originated in Germany, where in the 80s bands like that were popping up in ludicrous amounts. Some grew into fairly familiar names like Alphaville, most... not so much.
I'm musician and recorded some stuff of mine and the files were on my laptop. The laptop was stolen. Files are gone... Imagine I'm die and the dude uploads the songs on CZcams :-D. NOBODY will know who the singing guy is^^

Why is this actually fire tho
what if these "unknown" songs are from a parallel universe that crossed over to this one, and the nostalgia of listening to it is us having listened to it in that parallel universe

That's not possible, and if it were it's probably pretty high on the bulletin of earth's best minds. Being able to send items between universes means it'd also be possible to send people, which would be unprecedented for obvious reasons.

This fits MyHouse so well. A seemingly normal and inconspicuous piece of media, only to find out that it's harboring a deep mystery. I also like how the upbeat sound of the music contrasts with the depressing nature of the wad. It's a beacon of uneasy hope in a map of despair. It feels like it was always meant to be, that it's telling you to fight for happiness because happiness has to be fought for.
What if happiness is in the fight itself?
Because, having finally reached the last fight, thinking it would be impossible for some one like me, as I actually started to win, I felt that "twinge" of enjoyment, and in a way, I was kinda sad when it was over.
Especially with how beautiful the battle itself was, running around and in and out of the Gas Station, watching all the colors of the attacks, and I played this song in the background as I weaved in and around all the attacks.
A great gaming experience all around. Highly recommend MyHouse.wad

@@sammytimgaming2947 If the original was recorded on used tape, or the head in machine was bit out oaf alignment, it could be part of another song.
Out of curiosity, would you be able to get 50, 60, 100, 120 Hz bands out of this recording? Some people in discussion had suggested that it could be some AI generated stuff, that would me most likely be missing those frequencies as those are artefacts caused by electric grid and rectifiers in electronics.
1:16 If you listen to this song through a pseudo-surround-sound filter, there's this very sweet-sounding flute melodic line in the mix! I've listened to this tune dozens of times and never heard it before!
you shouldn't need a filter to hear it, pretty sure it's a synth as well
@@vincenzozurzolo2184 Yes but using surround amplifies that sweet flute like countermelody.
@@am74343 not really, whatever surround option you are using would just exacerbate the reverb of each instrument. stereo still provides the most audio quality

Cancion de Alicia was FOUND, is Like the Wind next? 😱
The MyHouse mod has given this song a new meaning for me. It used to be a slightly eerie song that no one knows the origins of, but now it’s a song of hope, a song of freedom, a song about a sunrise beach. Now it’s a song that is here to remind us…
*that happiness has to be fought for.*
But we all still wanna RIP AND TEAR inside said small house.
Yeah, same. The song really takes on a new life in light of the mod’s themes imo
Here because of MyHouse.wad
I don't feel enchanted or creeped out AT ALL....
The words happiness has to be fought for while this song is playing will never cease to give me chills
We know the origin - it was writen by Ronnie Rocket - an Austrian Rockstar - He never got a penny for it.
My interpretation of the lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Like the wind, you came here running
Take the consequence of living
There's no space, there's no tomorrow
There's no sense, communication
[Chorus]
Check it in, check it out 'cause the sun will never shine
A long dirty way in the subways of your mind
[Verse 2]
Like the wind, you're going somewhere
Let a smile be your companion
There's no place, and there's no sorrow
In the young and restless dreamer
[Chorus]
Check it in, check it out 'cause the sun will never shine
A long dirty way in the subways of your mind
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Check it in, check it out 'cause the sun will never shine
A long dirty way in the subways of your mind
[Outro]
Check it in, check it out with the Sun or Moon
Tear it in, tear it out is it really you
Check it in, check it out with the Sun or Moon
Tear it in, tear it outis it really you
Check it in, check it out with the Sun or Moon
Tear it in, tear it outis it really you
Check it in, check it out with the Sun or Moon
Tear it in, tear it out is it really you
Check it in, check it out
It sounds more like "Blind the Wind" to me

I think the lyrics of this song are about people escaping from east to west Germany during the Cold War. Like the wind you came running.. take the consequence of leaving.. there’s no sent communication.. check it in check it out (a reference to checkpoint Charlie). Maybe it’s about a specific incident, if so that may help to date it. Since it’s about someone who came running, it’s probably from Western Europe, if not from west Germany itself.
There's nothing like hearing this around an empty gas station surrounded by demons to remind you that *Happiness has to be fought for.*

From an alternate universe, where the music crossed into ours but the band didn't.
@@0Nelus0wrong, the person who found it was named darius.
I honestly have a feeling the artist/band is unlikely to ever be found. EKT was found within 3 years with just a 17 second snippet of unknown origin and misleading information. We have the full TMS song and know the source of the TMS recording yet we still haven’t been able to find a good lead since the search started back in the mid 2000s. The recording is 40 years old. Realistically there’s a high chance that the artist/band and everyone else involved are now deceased.
Да, возможно вы правы, что исполнители мертвы, но песня то не могла появиться из неоткуда...
The common theory (read: speculation) is this was probably a demo song recorded by a band trying to get a record label. It was probably shopped to some small radio stations to get some airplay, but the band was never picked up. Then probably disbanded. This very well might have been their one and only song.
The chances that everyone involved are deceased is probably not that high, at least not of age-related causes. Judging by the lead’s voice they’d probably be anywhere between 65-75 atm.
considering "ulterior motives" (that song everybody knows) was found recently i have hope that this mystery will one day be solved
Crazy how one of the best songs I've ever heard is from a completely anonymous band. Genuinely such a banger.

Very early 80's. Almost like a song you would hear in a movie soundtrack. Or even on an old episode of Miami Vice.
...or pretty much like EVERY Song you hear on a GHOST concert. Fck GHOST. :-D
I'm no music experts, but many people have pointed out DX7 sound of the synths, and the fact DX7 came out in 1983 and it became more viable by 1984 actually. That doesn't sound like very early 80's to me. Very early 80's could be 1980, 1981, 1982 at max. So I guess that song may have been made in 1983 if we were talking about early access to DX7, but more probably in 1984 or later.
@@CZghost Example Split enz, 1980, and the cars had synth in the late 70's, bye bye love. czcams.com/video/YmQlBfxh4Us/video.html

@@ksharpe10 Synths as in general was even in 60's, that doesn't matter. I was talking specifically about a specific synth, which is DX7. As many people pointed out, DX7 was made in 1983, and later in 1984 it spread out to masses. That doesn't add up with the theory of very early 80's as this is more like around the mid 80's.

It's incredibly disappointing that nobody has carefully followed up with Billy Knight of Statues In Motion for more on the Alvin Dean lead.
The last thing Knight said about all of this before communication ended was... "Alvin made it."
Not saying that *he* made it.
Not saying that Statues In Motion made it.
He credited Alvin Dean.
It's an Alvin Dean song.
Knight maybe fibbed a little when he previously said he had played keyboards on the track, with earlier synthesizers that didn't sound the same.
But when all was said and done, after the discussion about the DX7, Knight still credited Alvin Dean for the song in the last thing he wrote on this topic.
He's giving credit to a guy he (apparently) had a falling out with years ago which caused the band to break up. Someone he didn't even necessarily get along with at the end. He's still telling us it's his song. Knight is not going to profit from that. There is no reason to doubt him at this stage.
It seems like the real truth is that it's Dean's song, recorded after SIM broke up. Maybe SIM played it, but never recorded it. Thus the Knight association with the song.
I think if the right people ask the right questions at this point, the answer is waiting to be found/confirmed. Someone just has to take the initiative to have that conversation. Offer to buy the guy dinner to have a detailed 20 minute conversation about everyone's known whereabouts associated with both Alvin Dean's music career and whomever he may have been in touch with after the band broke up.
There has been speculation that Alvin Dean died years ago. But nobody seems to have confirmed that, or found a death record, or anything of that nature. If you search hard enough, you either find him, or you find a record that he passed away. His real name was unique enough.
(Yes, I saw the video from the guy who claimed he tracked down Alvin Dean and then just "decided not to ask" about the song. Right. I mean someone should ACTUALLY find the guy. And ask him. Whether it's sitting down with Billy Knight or Alvin Dean, finally having the answer/confirmation is probably just a matter of buying one of them dinner and asking for 20 minutes of in depth conversation about their music career.)

Nobody can remember it anymore. It's kinda running gag when talking today about old times. 😅
