Right, the way I'm taking this challenge is something you wish more people heard. Soo, a song that I think deserves more acclaim... Bloody hell, I have tons of those! Quite a few of my favourite artists put in a heck of a lot of work, and deserve more than they get, whilst other artists (no names mentioned!) get to where they are simply by being 'good looking'. Drives me mad!!
Soo, for this challenge I'm going to put a range of answers. Sorry!! :P
Right, obviously something by Amy Macdonald- this one's going to be Human Spirit. It's about the Chilean miner disaster, but fits loads of situations, and is a generally lovely song, full of life! Plus I've listened to it over 100 times... Whoops! Another is From The Clouds (Jack Johnson), because it's really upbeat and pretty, plus the lyrics are typically Jack Johnson- they make you think, they're sweet and deep yet occasionally have a quirky turn.
Also, If Only (KT Tunstall), which I only found recently. I think I heard it on the radio a couple of times many years ago, but I'm currently really into it!! And finally, I Hate Seagulls (Kate Nash)- I love Kate Nash's songs generally, but this one's really nice 'cause the lyrics are so commonplace yet so unusual at the same time.
