As is tradition with every single Silent Hill release (except the couple of really bad ones) @inhalermoon.bsky.social and I will be doing an all-night marathon of Silent Hill f as soon as the sun starts to go down on Sunday night.

We haven't done this since Origins came out so this is a real treat!

He has a cameo at the end of the video seen listening to music in a little recording booth.

Anyway, the entire mystery behind this song is just my favorite little internet rabbit hole and I just am so happy it had a nice resolution :>

Fun additional lore is that I'm not 100% sure if it's the *exact* same tape, but the one from the original Youtube video is a photo of the mixtape the song was originally found on!

yeah there's always that voice in the back of my head like "which trashbag person reposted something of mine just to their pen of chuds"

most charming is that their video starts with them putting a casette tape into a boombox, which emulates the static image used on the youtube video that once hosted the (then) unknown song

A screenshot from the official music video of "Subways of Your Mind" showing a BASF cassette tape marked with a "4" in Sharpie, paying homage to a youtube video that hosted the (then unknown) song.

Seeing this song's true origin discovered, finding out that all the band members were still alive, and then seeing them make an official music video that plays homage to the endearing mystery of the song is just heartwarming
