Your favorite obscure song


What song in your music inventory do you consider a barely known hidden gem? Like a well kept secret know only to a few that you can listen to over and again.

For me it's 'Roads to Moscow' from Al Stewart's 'Past Present and Future' album.

The music, the lyrics, the story it tells is- to be just slightly hyperbolic- brilliant.

Check it out, especially if your a WW2 history buff.

Thank you for your attention on this matter.😁

@cautionbison: The Morells! Now THERE’S an obscure band, Springfield Missouri’s finest. Here’s a video of "Reds":

Here are The Morells (when they were going by the name The Skeletons) on Art Fein’s Poker Party performing another obscure song, "If You Play With My Mind (You’re Gonna Get Your Hands Dirty)". The song was written by Cornell Hurd, the longtime Austin Texas musical institution (@whart/Bill: Have you taken my advice and gone out to see Hurd live yet?). The Skeletons drummer is Bobby Lloyd Hicks, later a member of Dave Alvin’s band The Guilty Men.

Nope, @bdp24 - he's a regular at the Saxon Pub if I recall. I just have to get my ass in gear.

 

Lori Mckenna's song 'Lorraine'. It is a most beautiful tribute to her mother who died when Lori was a young girl. Everytime I listen, it almost brings me to tears. The melody is beautiful. I cannot praise this song enough.

Melvins 

Interstellar Overdrive

Side B's Tipping the Lion is also excellent
