Partially solved

Placeholder name	Image	OP	Possible year	Note
Eastern Wind		MellieTerry	1986
Foxes In Boxes		Mike Bise	2004	From a GapBody CD, likely Lamya - Foxes In Boxes. Both artists sound identical in style and voice, and both songs released in 2004. Lamya passed away in 2009, so contact with the writer is the only way to confirm the song's identity.
Fur Rugs		Bootsnfurrugs	1970s or 80s	Was very likely composed by Andre Mayeux, but Mayeux could not remember the name of the song at all.
I Can Only Be Me		flamingaznboi	2000s	Produced by Stargate, written by Ne-Yo
Imagination Lives		KatePevensie	2003	This song was verifiably aired on the channel Sci-Fi in 2003, as a bumper presenting the films that would air in 2004. Some of the searchers think this song is a mashup of samples created by Sci-Fi, while others believe it is an original song. Likely made by Sci-Fi channel itself.
Kyrgyz Car Song		SuperJoe89	c. 2010s or 2020
So Long		My Mixed Salad	1987
Soda Pop		Metrowax Records	1970s	Comes from an acetate disc labeled "Allied".
Subways Of Your Mind		Darius S	1983	On November 4th, 2024, exactly 40 years after it was produced, the song was allegedly identified as Subways Of Your Mind by the German group FEX, from Kiel. The discovery was made by a Reddit user named "marijn1412", who stumbled upon it completely by chance while reading an old archive of Nordwest Zeitung, a German newspaper. The journal mentioned a band that had won a music contest in the city of Bremen, describing their music as "Rock with Wave and Pop influences." This band was in fact FEX. marijn1412 was researching information about old German bands when he happened to uncover the mystery. He then contacted the band’s leader, an artist named 'Michael Hädrich', who had no idea that the song had become an online legend. After the whole situation was explained, Phret and FEX finally gave permission for the revelation to be openly discussed online, bringing the search to an end.
Such a Pity		Eva99	1999	On March 22nd, 2024, user leerose found "Laila Samuels - Such A Pity" through an ASCAP search. After contacting her, she confirmed being the artist behind the song, but she didn't have the full recording of the song. On June 2024, Laila was sent the full recording of the song by a family friend who has it recorded on a CD. She claimed that she might be able to release it "this summer", but this has yet to happen. She later said in September that she would release it in a few months.
The Endless Longing of Sea Doves		Alfredo Brvxias Fanzine	1988	Most likely the band Dead Can Dance (without Brendan and Lisa)
