Your favourite songs which you're sure no-one else here will have ever heard of.

This thread encourages us to embrace our inner hipster and share songs which speak volumes to you, but which are neglected by a wider audience. They could be obscure B-sides or album tracks. They could belong to bands who never became successful. They could be by friends of yours...

I'll start. This is a song by my tremendously talented mate Ross, I personally think it's one of the best songs I've ever heard, but has thus far reached a very limited audience:

"Was it the end - the end that kept you up till the morning? Was it the boy - the boy who stole your heart?
Summer goes on and then dies quick without much warning.

All things ordinary.

Will you stay near me now? Don't leave this town until we've figured out."

"deep inside a song a thousand miles away..,every moment the start of a greater day"

Jon Cooksey.

^ These are all the details needed for me to cover this underrated song.

I don't know what happened...

I heard this VR song, it never got released, I couldn't find it anywhere but my big database of music that I'm privileged to for work...

Now... Looking for it today, it's no longer on the database, and now the internet seems to have heard of it.

Sweet idea for a thread! I find that when I think someone else hasn't heard of a song and I play it for them, they always end up saying "Of course I know that song!" and I end up feeling dumb haha.

It happened to me just the other night with this tune:

Not many people will know this. It's from the final album Solomon Burke made. A compilation album with the Dutch band De Dijk.

They were English re-makes of (originally Dutch) De Dijk's songs, with Solomon on vocals. For reference, this is one of their regular songs:

The Beyond if youre bored of Therapy?, metallica or RATM.

Manic Sound Panic and No Excuse eps and Crawl album.

Prog, thrash, jazz. California uber alles and Break on through covers.

Definitely worth checking. Tommy Vance said "this band is tight"
