My Sad Captains - resolutions, 2012

“Resolutions” is a bittersweet New Year’s/reflection song about failed attempts to change, holding on to small moments of warmth amid loneliness"

Neil Young - i am a child live at massey hall, 1971

"This concert was filmed and recorded with such care that Neil later called it one of his favorite live documents. The version of "I Am a Child" here is considered by many fans to be definitive."

The National - rylan, 2019

“Rylan” sat around for nearly a decade before it finally was recorded on The National’s 2019 album I Am Easy to Find. Matt Berninger wrote the song some time around the band’s 2010 album High Violet was made. They started playing it live, and it immediately became a favorite of many concertgoers who heard it. Why then wouldn’t the band put the song on a record? Well, for one thing, they couldn’t quite settle on an arrangement that felt just right. On top of that, The National are sticklers for having the songs on each album contribute to an overall sense of thematic unity. For whatever reason, “Rylan” was the odd song out each time they settled in to make a new one."

New Order - round and round ninety-four, 1994

"New Order's first compilation album, Substance (1987), finally broke the group through to commercial success in the U.S. Its second one, The Best of New Order, isn't exactly Substance II. The previous set was a singles collection, and Best Of does pick up that story, including a series of songs - "True Faith" (in a new remix), "Touched by the Hand of God," "Blue Monday 88," "Fine Time," "Round & Round" (in a new remix), "Run," and "World in Motion" - that were bigger hits in the U.K. than in the U.S. (Also included is the group's biggest U.S. hit, "Regret" as well as its charting follow-up, "World [The Price of Love].") But in addition, the compilers have included one song each from the group's albums - "Dreams Never End" from Movement, "Age of Consent" from Power, Corruption & Lies, "Love Vigilantes" from Low-Life, "Vanishing Point" from Technique, and "Ruined in a Day" from Republic."

The Moody Blues - ride my see-saw live at the royal albert hall, 2000

"Ride My See-Saw" (from their 1968 album In Search of the Lost Chord) served as the explosive encore closer, ramping up the energy after hits like "Nights in White Satin" and "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)." Reviewers called it a "metal melting point" high, with the orchestra amplifying the song's playful psychedelia into something triumphant and crowd-pleasing. The full concert runs about 90 minutes, capturing the band in fine form for an audience heavy on longtime fans."

Club 8 - working on the next life, 2025

"Club 8, the Swedish indie pop duo of Karolina Komstedt and Johan Angergård, released "Working on the Next Life" as a single on March 7, 2025. It's their third single of the year, following "Stay Together" and "Sneaky Feelings," and serves as a key track on their 12th studio album, Seasonal Echoes. The album dropped on October 10, 2025, via Shelflife Records and Labrador, blending their signature dreamy, melancholic pop with influences from 60s British and Francophone pop, layered in shimmering dreampop production."

My Sad Captains - round and back again, 2011

"There’s no better way describe Fight Less Win More than to say that it is the perfect album for a fall afternoon. The acoustic guitar is finger-picked superbly (as on the excellent Heavy Lifting) while the bass and drums establish a sort of coffeehouse laid-back groove and the keyboard launches subtle but affecting atmospherics."

Pale - dreaming, 2025

"Pale delivers melodic alt-pop with winding guitar lines, dreamy shoegaze textures, and introspective vibes reminiscent of Soccer Mommy or early Alvvays—think hazy, cathartic soundscapes perfect for late-night introspection."

The Moody Blues - question live at the royal albert hall, 2000

"The Moody Blues performed "Question" live during their concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London on May 1, 2000, backed by the World Festival Orchestra. This performance was part of a special Hall of Fame induction celebration and was captured for both audio and video releases. "Question" (from their 1970 album A Question of Balance) was the penultimate song in the 14-track setlist, delivering an energetic, orchestral rendition that highlighted Justin Hayward's soaring vocals and guitar work."

Pet Shop Boys - you only tell me you love me when you're drunk live at the mermaid theatre, 2006

"The live version of "You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk" (the third track on the album) captures the song's poignant, synth-pop melancholy with lush orchestral swells, emphasizing its themes of conditional love and emotional vulnerability."

Lunar Isles - dust, 2025

"Lunar Isles - Dust (2025)Lunar Isles is a hazy indie-pop project based in Seoul, South Korea, led by musician David Skimming. Known for their motorik dream pop sound—often compared to The Sundays with Slowdive influences—their music features ethereal, reverb-drenched guitars, introspective lyrics, and a nostalgic, summery vibe."

My Morning Jacket - i can’t wait, 2015

"I Can't Wait" is a standout track from My Morning Jacket's seventh studio album, The Waterfall, recorded at a cliffside house in Stinson Beach, California. The song captures the band’s signature blend of psychedelic rock, soulful melodies, and Jim James’ soaring falsetto. It’s a dreamy, mid-tempo love song with lush reverb, shimmering guitars, and a heartbeat-like rhythm section."

Nada Surf - what is your secret, 2005

"Nada Surf have composed fine songs for free-thinking, analytical, and pensive individuals, without being overly complex. The result of all this experience and reflection is that Nada Surf and producer Chris Walla have made a great pop/rock record. It's more of an emotive affair, with soft-hued guitar layers, hushed harmonies, and frontman Matthew Caws' signature aching, bittersweet vocals."

The Moody Blues - legend of a mind live at the royal albert hall, 2000

"The Psychedelic Experience (1964) was the inspiration for John Lennon's song "Tomorrow Never Knows", on The Beatles' album Revolver (1966). The Moody Blues recorded two songs about Leary. "Legend of a Mind", written and sung by Ray Thomas on their album In Search of the Lost Chord (1968), begins: "Timothy Leary's dead. No, no, no, no, he's outside looking in". The second was "When You're a Free Man" on the Seventh Sojourn album."

Neil Young - la, 1973

"Young's is a pain-dominated, rather Old Testament sensibility, and nowhere is all this more obvious than in 'L.A.' Young's self-righteousness becomes absolute, and he depicts himself as some neo-Israelite prophet warning the unhearing masses of the inevitable apocalypse."

Nada Surf - always love, 2005

"The album was produced by Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Chris Walla and mixed by Geoff Sanoff, John Goodmanson, John Agnello and Ed Stasium. Tom Beaujour did some guitar overdubs. The album features vocals from the Long Winters frontman John Roderick."

Pet Shop Boys - left to my own devices live at the mermaid theatre, 2006

"Recorded at London's Mermaid Theatre for Radio 2 in May 2006, Concrete offers grandiose orchestral arrangements not just of songs from current studio album Fundamental but many of the duo's most memorable hits from their quarter-century spanning career too. The album's most striking characteristic is evident at the close of the first track. Tennant, already comfortable with the dual role of lyricist and vocalist, becomes narrator of his own career too with a range of plummy vignettes about each of the songs."

The Moody Blues - ride my see-saw live at red rocks, 1993

"Ride My See-Saw," originally written by bassist John Lodge and released as a single from the band's 1968 album In Search of the Lost Chord, closes the concert as the explosive encore. The song's themes of life's ups and downs (using the see-saw metaphor) blend psychedelic rock with driving rhythms and the Moody Blues' signature spoken-word intro."
