One of the longest MYSTERIOUS MUSIC searches comes to an end! 

Its insane how close we are to finding EKT and TMS, the true final bosses of Lostwave

Also, I feel like "Like the Wind" would benefit from exposure on Eurovision during the voting period during the Grand Final. Millions watch every year, so, it might sound silly, but it could be one way.

Now that EKT has been found, it's time to find Like The Wind/the most mysterious sing on the internet

I honestly thought it was like the wind...

It's kind of funny that the answer to the mystery was one of the most biggest pop composers in Estonia. Sven Lõhmus is the man who created the girl group Vanilla Ninja. His songs have won awards, ended up on Eurovision, and he was the member in the band Black Velvet which was huge in the mid to late 90s in Estonia.

Fun Fact: Everyone Knows That, is found, it's real name is Ulterior Motives by Christopher Saint Booth & Phillip Adrian Booth, but, this song was actually from an Adult Movie!

this might be a great year for lost media UPDATE: I retract my statement, this IS a great year for lost media!

I saw the name Sven Lõhmus and even though I'm not Estonian, I recognised the name. I looked him up and he went on to do *a lot* of composing and producing for Estonian Eurovision entries. Probably his most famous production work is Rockefeller Street, the nightcore version of which went on to become one of the god-tier songs of early 2010s RU-vid. Such a wild connection.

Funny because I’ve been searching for a song for years that seems to be ungoogleable. All I have is the lyric, “if i wake up in the night will you set me right”. I wrote it down years ago but never got the name of the song. These things eternally haunt you.

I have been hoping to start a RU-vid channel for songs I have on old mixtapes that I cannot find on the internet. Some were recorded off the radio, others were old vinyl I had. I must do this, I didn't realise there was an internet community dedicated to finding lost tunes. Love it.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="457">7:37</a> - Hey, thats my post! The one with 215 upvotes!

Also, a funny thing that wasnt mentioned is that Sven Lohmus WROTE ROCKEFELLER STREET.

I was never THAT into this song, however I still followed it with some fascination, and I'm so glad it's another one that we can cross off our (long) list!

I thought it was gonna be Like The Wind 😭

This is not even a Golden Age, we are living in the Diamond Age of Lostwave! Thanks CWS for making these videos years ago, one of the things that got me into Lost Music. I also love the fact that you upload videos about the search of found songs, not just the song. Few youtubers do that. I also recommend Abstract2k's channel who is currently posting about the songs found in this Diamond Age of Lostwave we are living.

Pretty interesting to see how peoples perspectives on the world are so different. As an Estonian, the name Marek already rung bells in my head at the beginning of the video, not to mention the song sounding familiar, or at least for the 90s style. My respect and kudos to everyone who worked on solving the mistery! (and having to deal with our language haha)

I have many more unknown songs from the 80's that I collected from a various forums and blogs from 2002 to 2015. Most of them are not on the internet since then. Konstantinos is my friend. We were obsessed with finding and solving unknown 80's songs back then, and community was unfortunately very small. I suggested Touzent - Lost And Found as a possibillity and Konstantinos bought the record to check it. Marek was actually never interested in this song, he only wanted to help.

Didn't expect to see Estonia being mentioned, I know there is probs lots of lost media and music in my country, but I never thought I will stumble onto a video mentioning one. Ahh I am so happy now :D

never underestimate the power of soulseek. its survived the napsters and kaazas of the time and still wields great results for myself, and unlike the 2 mentioned, never gave my computers back in the day viruses. I even found a album i made on there for music college that i lost in harddrive crash years ago and someone had it archived. its a beaut of a program.

I Imagine all of those lost cartoons from those small European countries just because they aren't in English

This was the lostwave song that I had wanted found the most, even more than EKT or Like the Wind. I remember back in November I would endlessly loop the short segment and dying for it be found because I really loved the way it sounded and made me feel! I’m so glad it was finally found!

Wow! I am really glad I found this video. I have been searching for a song I heard back in July of 2002 while I was on a tour bus heading into Amsterdam,. I was recording video from the front of the bus and my camera picked up the song in the background. This video gave me a lot of hope in finding it someday.

I'll never forget a song I heard twice in the late 2000s, specifically 2009. I had a classic style vinyl record player with a radio component. I was browsing through stations and all of a sudden I came across a song playing on a station I can't remember that went like "This little man, this little man" with almost big band style drums with the vocalist sounding very similar to Colin Hay from men at work. I heard the song again at a Carnival I went to later that year briefly, then after it stopped I never heard it again. I can't find it anywhere on the internet or even a sign it existed. I'm convinced it was something local that eventually became 100% lost media.

Oh my god. I am Estonian and I never knew that this lost song was from Estonia. It's just so interesting and amazing!

Ride This Wave Forever also just got solved

Sad that it wasn't one I've heard of, but it's very nice that a mystery got solved!

This demonstrates the power of the internet. Diffuse collaboration. Bits and pieces from people all over the world can be assembled to answer questions that would otherwise be unsolvable.

Due to personal issues which I won’t be discussing here, February 27th was one of the most devastating days I’ve had in recent memory. All I can remember is just collapsing and crying, realising that something that was a big part of my life had just been completely erased. I wish I had actually known about this find on the day it happened, because it would have definitely cheered me up. It’s such a charming and beautiful little tune. I’m still struggling to comprehend what happened on that day and how it will affect me, but all these new Lostwave discoveries are giving me hope that maybe the future isn’t as scary as I think.

Hopefully we find a higher quality version, the one we have has a glitch in the middle that makes the song play at the right for the rest of the song.

the Too long didn't watch: they DIDN"T find "like the wind" but another old lost song

This video is encouraging because I recorded a song off the radio with my phone back on May 30, 2017. It was an old phone and loading SoundHound would have lasted about as long as the song, which would have made it for nothing. SoundHound couldn't identify the music from my recording so I uploaded it to my RU-vid channel. No person and no app has identified the song so far. It sucks because I really like the song. It sounds like a more aggressive version of New Order in the Power, Corruption, and Lies era. All the DJ had to do was say the artist's name and song title. I also like finding rare and obscure new wave/synth-pop. I never heard of this specific mystery song until this video. I like this Beat Boy stuff.

-- UPDATE -- ETK (Everyone Knows That) has been found! ....but make sure to listen to the clean version💀

Clicked immediately. Very excited.

Great to see a video covering the full search for TTSA. Btw I actually made the lost media wiki article at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="76">1:16</a>, glad to have contributed.

Thank you for documenting this!! The journeys people take to uncover the mysteries behind “lost” music (and lost media in general) are always fascinating. Keep up the good work!

soulseek, nice. I've found some rare tracks/versions of tracks there before that couldn't be found otherwise on the web. As far as general music downloading goes, it makes the idea of music torrenting laughable, and other methods, such as ripping RU-vid or other services in trash quality seem flat out disgusting. P2P music is ancient at this point, but still king.

Clicked on this thinking that we finally found out who made “Like the wind” 😒

Estonia mentioned!

So i watched this and thought I’d ask a polish friend that had travelled a lot of east Europe. First thing they said was “sound like beatboy”. You cant make this shit up 🤣🤣 if only me or her heard about this it would have been a bit of a shorter mystery 😂. She said she said lots of people didn’t like his music so maybe thats why it was so hard to find

super informative. thank you, OP.

I remember Toronto's CFNY The Spirit of Radio in the mid 1980's when the station peaked, I never heard CFNY myself living on the west coast of British Columbia. but I do recall many word of mouth comments on The Spirit and its unconventional alterative music format. This was the inspiration for the 1980 song Spirit of Radio by Rush. there was a Vancouver west coast version of the Spirit Of Radio in Vancouver called CKST, aka Coast 800 AM Later Coast 1040 riding the wave of the 1990's alternative/ grunge explosion. I became a regular listener for the brief 3 years that they existed. Sadly Like the Toronto's original Spirit of Radio which ended in 1988, Vancouver's Coast 1040 went silent in September of 1993.

Love to see some lost media come from my own small country! Great content!!

Now it's been found it's likely to get forgotten like many other songs have in the past that were never lost. It's only the search for it that kept it alive.

Kind of amazing that the original musicians never came across this search

I love being aware I’m living through these incredible breakthroughs!! :))

CFNY was THE radio station for any of us living in Toronto during the '80s. Dave Marsden, spinning under the name "The Mars Bar" filled the air with music no other station would play. Punk to New Wave to New Romantics to Chris Sheppard's Dance Party - Club 102. Could definitely see Bravely being played on CFNY.

amazing, you are back.

Imagine all these lost songs media, set this up 20 years ago… to be discovered and they stay silent to be all mysterious then boom.

The fastest click I have done in a while

if this year keeps going like it is then it won't be long till we find the more popular stuff like EKT and TMMS

Like the Wind is cool but I'm more in to EKT and also the other one thats called like 'Its Just a Game' or whtvr bc those full versions are yet to be found

I'm from Estonia and grew up in the 90s but I have never heard this song :) This is very interesting

I had no idea about this. I knew I’d like the wind and the band Status in Motion, but I didn’t know of other discovered unknown material like this. The song sounds so iconic and melodic by Beatboy.

amazing how so many song snippets sound so fugging amazing and most times those songs are either lost or just not real and i hate it lol. the real songs we get are never are fire as these lost ones. when we finally do find the lost ones or are able to get full versions of em, ugh its sooooo nice.

All of the people helping in finding a lost song is nice. When I was a child, I once listened to a song on a relative's radio thst goes: "Take me to the dance floor, Take me to the moon. I'll take you anywhere and boom, boom, boom." Every now and then I remember the lyrics and the tune but I can't seem to find it online. I get this feeling of sadness thinking that I will never find the song again. Edit: RadicoolJatt told me the song. It is "Happy Group - Boom Boom".

Folks will still say "UMM IT'S OBVIOUSLY AI". For some stupid reason.

its funny how EKT was a background song for a P*rno, maybe TMS is also a background p*rno song?

This music is timeless. I enjoyed this.

I have two songs stuck in my head from like a car ride with my dad 20 years ago when I was like 8, and he has passed since, and nobody has any idea what the hell I am talking about when I embarrassingly sing the songs with likely-incorrect lyrics for them, so I am glad one song mystery is solved, now I must solve my own.

That eye backroom background is hilarious... and fitting

I love the activity that's been going on lately.

Nice to see you again, have you been working on other lost wave songs?

This reminds me of a RU-vid mistery on a guy from Poland called Jexus. He reviewed and played synthesizers with really cool yet weird videos.

That's cool. I always thought this was just another internet prank. Glad lots of folks are feeling relief over this.

This is like musical Cold Case Files.

C I A is my favorite lost wave track. I hope it gets found soon.... I've spent so much time trying to find it...

And here's me thinking the world had lost it's way, nope, just a cheesy 90s song by a post Soviet bloc boy band. All's still well then, whew!

Soulseek... AHHHH I remember using that back in the early 00s whilst everyone else used Limewire :')

When they released the complete and quality music, I really thought it would be music from the 80's, but it's from the 90's, which surprised me. You can see the inspiration that the artist had from the last decade...

I search for a song since the 80’s, it goes like “…all flowers in the rain let their spirit go flying in the sky….”.

what a strange things to have something from within my lifetime gone and nearly forgotten. that being written i have bunch of songs i remember so little of that i just can not find them... infuriatingly. They are most likely not mysteries or anything just a nuisances. Glad that several songs were found out.

I'm trying to find a music video. I don't know the band or the song name. The video is the band in a van heading to the beach. There is a girl waiting outside to get picked up. But the band drives right past her and she acts upset. This repeats for a few days until the band finally picks her up and they're all playing around on the beach. There is a large rock sticking out of the water. It was on tv around the time Vampire Weekend did an unplugged set. It would play on Paladia all the time. I used to have it saved on my dvr a long time ago, but I don't have it anymore. I have had zero success trying to search on my own. Thanks for reading this. 🍻

I have another lost song to mention. Unfortunately, I have no audio to upload. The song came out most likely in late 1992. I heard it on the radio show called U.K. Chart Attack. The song sampled the notorious "squidgy" tapes of Princes Diana with her alleged lover. Male vocals in the beginning in a rap style. He repeated " You'll always be a princess to me, you'll always be a princess". It goes on with the rapper alongside the Diana samples until the chorus is sung by a female vocalist singing the word "Princess" about 4 times in repetition. The dj on UK chart attack said the name of the track was "Princess" by an artist called Blue. I once had this song on tape from that show, but it has been lost to time. I have searched for years to locate this song with no success. It's as if the song never existed. Has anyone out there heard, or heard of this song ??? #squidgy #princessdiana #ukchartattack #lostsong #lostsongs

"Everyone knows that" needs to be found before I convince myself I'm Insane for hearing It several times In my youth

That is so cool.

Them Sony WH-XB900N's are great aren't they. I love mine. Great video. I'm just a random viewer, I didn't know anything about this. Awesome when you find an earworm, especially after decades.

Holy ****ing spit! This is a heroic ending to an amazing story.

So it seems like this song was actually solved early on, but prolonged due to inadvertent negligence. Glad the search persisted and the song was found though!

I get so mad when I find a dope song somewhere and I can’t identify it. It always comes up at random times and no matter what I’m doing, I give it another go 😂 never heard of this one, but it’s happened with a lot of others that would be considered album cuts or underground demos.

I’ve also been looking for a song from the late 90s / early 00s thad was all synths, with vocals with that robot effect, but with amazing organic drum parts - the contrast between the organic drums and the electronic everything else was awesome. Unfortunately all I remember is hearing it in clubs and the lyrics that said (I think) something like “deep under glass” and “buried in the sea”. I’ve never been able to find it.

I was thinking Ulteririor motives is solved but oh well. Congrats on this one too.

Is it just me or is Lostwave 80's pop rock like 50% of the time

Soulseek is the shit. I got so many rare Dwarves cuts I uploaded (lots of Blag Dahlia’s solo stuff)

Well done!

That is sick :) I knew nothing about the search of this song and heard it here first time. My first thought at the beginning of the video when song is played was it sounds like Estonian dude singing. Probably Sven Lõhmus or somebody like him. Damn that was easy :)

Never knew this was missing, if someone told me earlier it wouldnt last 20 years.

i didn't know i was looking for this song until now.

I have a recording of a demo (I believe) that was played on a local college radio station back in the early nineties. I saved that one tape for thirty years because I liked the song. Sometimes I wonder though, if they never released the song, do they even want it to be found?

I honestly missed you.

Never heard of it, but what a cool story.

I hope he gets access to the song again for a better quality version. Because this Version we have now isn't the best quality

OK, here's a short novelty song I've seen decades ago, but have never been able to find. It said "woke up this morning, gone straight to bed" or something very similar, somewhat like a 12-bar blues style. I remember it being from one of the Carter USM members - but as I said, never been able to find it.

2024 must be the golden year of lost songs

Poor christmas is my favorite. Great song.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="67">1:07</a> this made me laugh more then it should have.

EKT WAS FOUND WOO. Soon, we will find TMS

I’ve been looking for a specific Costa Rican song for 16 years. Maybe one day 🤞🏻

Anyone else think this was going to be Check It In Check It Out? Edit: nvm, I see it's more commonly called Like the Wind, and has for sure been brought up.

Now if we can just find the "I know you have ulterior motives" source

Funny cause I also found a song in feb this year after a 25-year search which happened to be sung by an artist called beat boy ("the roof is on fire")...
