Do you have (memories of) any songs that you can't find back to, or just straight up don't exist anymore? I have lots of them, and it's all internet stuff. Jihad nasheeds that got removed by youtube, soundcloud albums that just got deleted one day, silly low production edgy songs that were mercilessly swept away by a janny for being offensive once we collectively decided nothing offensive can be allowed to stay online, and most of it is so obscure that there's almost no chance of it turning up again.

The one I miss the most is "Jacking Off to Footage of 911" by Assfuck Gaycore, tragically deleted years ago, it still comes up in my head occasionally. I feel such regret for not archiving it. Some of these songs were so underground, all that comes up when I google them is a thread with yours truly asking what happened to them.
 
There were a lot of underground 90's Brazilian hip-hop and favela funk tracks that I listened to in high school. There were plenty of them on Soundcloud and other corners of the net but I can't really find them anymore, it sucks. I think the people who uploaded them wiped their account and took the songs with them.
 
I have like 1 zillion playlists on YT for every single genre where I can safe music as reminder for later, when I have time to dig into it. But then I forget about the playlists, come back months later and get the message that x videos have been deleted and then I can't remember what I actually safed and what got deleted.
 
A band called My Catalyst did a metal Kiss From a Rose cover that I enjoyed, but it’s been scrubbed from the internet because the band did blackface to look like seal in the music video.
 
There is a lost song that was in walk the line the songs name is called cartoon world it was made by Billy sherwood it can't be found anywhere only munchings of this song are from some websites and on billy's imdb page also in the end credits of walk the line am not to sure if it's lost or not and maybe I'm just a dumbfack who needs to look harder for it
 
Somewhat related, there was a particular AMV (yes, I was a weeb) years and years ago I loved. I still remember the crashing sense of loss I felt when I logged onto YT and discovered that the creator had wiped their channel and when I tried to see if anyone had a copy of the AMV or knew the creator, I just got shrugs.

It turned out that I had saved it at some point, but I had to dig out an old computer and use multiple retrieval programs to scrape the reformatted hard drive in search of it.

Since then, if anything looks interesting, I save it. The amount of random shit I come across buried in old folders is amazing.
 
I was collecting vinyl before it became cool and you could get lps in walmart. Im talking 20 years ago. I found some real gems that were not anywhere near popular songs and didn't exist anywhere on the internet. They might as well have been lost. Now days though someone has made a youtube video of them playing the vinyl recording and some music rights organization has bought the rights to it and claimed said video under copyright. Now days I'm thinking of selling my collection.
 
I don't have any lost music I can think of but I do have a few songs that aren't available on the internet anymore, one is a nightcore song that I can't find an original of. I also got some archives of Johnny Rebel before most of his stuff was scrubbed from the internet. I know that it can still be found on archive sites, but you have to really go searching for it.

Also Is this the band and song? It's a live version in somebody's house so probably doesn't do it justice.

Not really lost music but I remembered there being an “unofficial” music video to Who Gon Stop Me by Jay z & Kanye and it was clips of old f1 racing and racers. Iirc it had a lot of views and was the top result. But it got deleted once YouTube started to block every Kanye and JayZ song for copyright
 
Bit power levelly and spergy, but there was a band who did an acoustic version of 'Stormfuhrer' by Landser called Youth Knives. Can't find any trace of it anywhere.

Edit: thankfully yandex exists, I found it on some obscure russian mp3 site.

I would do anything to get my hands on "The Meaning of Artlife" by The Starving Artists. That might've been the first internet Hip Hop album I laid ears on and instantly fell in love. There have been fragments of it, but never the entire album.
 
Thankfully scrubbed from the Internet is a recording of me singing Skater Boy as a rustic English folk ballad, with amended lyrics to reflect the genre.

I assume that it will resurface and be used to blackmail me, should I ever lock horns with the Bilderberg Group.
 
There's still never been a release of the Death Wish 3 soundtrack that doesn't contain the sound effects from the movie overlaid on it. The legendary Flash Gordon soundtrack has the same problem.

Airwolf's soundtrack was evidently lost. The two albums that I've managed to find are just brand new recordings of each track, most of which sound pretty close to the original but certain tracks sound completely different or are straight up missing altogether.

Its irritating because the music isn't exactly lost, its *right* there, you can still hear it in the movie/show, but there's no way to adequately extract the music alone without access to the audio masters. Sometimes they turn up somewhere, like a few years ago the C.H.U.D. soundtrack masters were used to give it an album release for the first time ever. But if the studio didn't keep them, and the artist didn't keep them, you're just fucked.

There is a rap song called "Fuck Bitches Get Money 420" which was also included in the video "The Best Kidz Bop" where in that video uses a Kidz Bop commercial and replaces them with 2000s and Early 2010s rap music. I can't find it anymore. There is also an Ambient song that played in the 2070s portion of the future prediction video whom even the uploader of the video doesn't even know what the song is. The owner deleted the video probably due to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Lastly, there are still mixtapes with demos from bands before they got famous, one of them being early Depeche Mode works but some of their demos are still lost to this day.

Long time ago before I had any stable internet connection we were exchanging music on CDs or just connected our HDDs to each other PCs. Sadly, a lot of music back then had wrong names and googling it now gives nothing. I was able to find some by lyrics, but a lot of them didn't have any, so no luck here.

You could try loading the nameless tracks onto YT, and see if other people can tell you where it comes from before you get a copyright strike.

If I still had them, I wouldn't bother with looking for them. That HDD is long lost, all I have is my own memories.
 

While a lot of the long defunct MP3.com music has been apparently saved, this song didn't make it onto their barge:

Nocturnal - "Drugs, Beats, Loot & Death"

This is a song I loved as a kid, from 1999 or 2000. It is maybe the only remaining copy left anywhere. It likely wasn't released retail, only on MP3.com. Any information about the artists involved is probably long gone. Not that its particularly good, but there it is.

There is a piece of music I've been wanting to find again a long time. It was hosted on a personal website of some aspiring weird classical-like pop musician. The website was just plain text, the most basic stripped down website you can imagine. It was only online for a couple of years. The hard part is I don't recall the title of the track or the name of the artist, all I have is the music playing in my head. It was very very good. The guy was a virtuoso composer. I think it was something like 10 minutes long. It was pretty unique, never really heard an arrangement like it before.

He might be some huge famous musician now and I'll never even know.
 
I have a few. Something like 14 years ago, a friend of a friend of a friend showed me some music by someone he knew, a guy calling himself Saint Isaiah. It was some kind of electronica, but I'm no expert on the genre. I still have the file somewhere I think. There were quite a few songs, and there's a page on last.fm that has most of them, but I have literally never found anything else about the guy. No social media, no webpage, no reference to the name anywhere else. Nothing. It's like he just dropped the music out of the ether and vanished.

Another one was a mislabeled song from WinMX called Snow Land. It said it was from Dragonforce back when they were brand new, but it definitely wasn't. It was a hauntingly beautiful instrumental that would've fit right into any of the better Final Fantasy games. Unfortunately I no longer have that one, and I can't remember or describe enough of it to search for it.

Now, here's a slightly weirder one. Before the era of Youtube, there was a commercial for a local/regional ISP that played bits and pieces of a song called Complicated Fun. Years later I found out the song itself is fairly obscure but not totally lost to time.


Except it wasn't right. I was sure the vocalist sounded different. After a LOT more looking, I found that there was an even more obscure cover version of it that matched what I remembered.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRUk9ZUURSA (media link isn't working for some reason)

Mystery solved right? Well, yes, except... I am absolutely sure I remember hearing another verse on the commercial. The part I remember was something like "Now's the time to shake it up, we gotta get it done". I can't find any reference to this in any version of the song. There's no way I made it up, I don't have a creative bone in my body. So what was it? A lyric from some ultra-obscure, lost version? Something made years after the rest of the cover, specifically for the commercial? Seepage from an alternate dimension? I honestly have no idea.
