Beautiful songs that deserved to be bigger

Only from last year, but no idea how this wasn’t a bigger hit.

Just checked this out on Spotify. Nearly a billion streams would suggest it's been a pretty big hit!!!

Of more concern is how out of touch I can be that I've never heard of a song that is hitting that many streams!!
 
Seeing these posted earlier reminded of this my favourite song by I Am Kloot. It wasn't originally on an album but on the 3 Feet Tall single. Later it was on the B compilation of b-sides which is better than albums by many bands. John Bramwell need to appreciate it more. I always ask him to play it and he always promises to learn it for next time but never does. He does say its a cracking little song though so he his correct in that. The lyrics are superb.

I Am Kloot - Big Tears

Love John Bramwell but hadn't heard this before. Great song, cheers for posting
 
I heard this on a Finnish tv series called All The Sins and thought it sounded really good. I like songs like this that start slowly and build up to a crescendo. Oh, and the tv show is good, too.

Peaked at 16 in UK charts, 23 in US charts. Not a great commercial hit and definitely should have been bigger. It's a great song.
 
And from my favourite German Lady

Have added the lyric in English

And now you're lying here in the rain
Who washes and rinses the wounds
But you can't move
Even if you don't feel the pain anymore
And you know it happened
You see the smoke on the horizon
You wanted to stand like a rock
But you couldn't
Because where there's smoke, there's fire
And where there is fire, there is death
There blood will flow in streams
And the earth turns red
And where blood-soaked earth burns
Many do not return home
And those who stayed
can never be happy again
Your bones are shattered
But your mind rests still and clear
In the echo distant screams of victory
Your weary heart does not perceive them
'Cause you know it's gonna happen
You see the smoke on the horizon
They will all go down
When the last storm comes
Because where there's smoke, there's fire
And where there is fire, there is death
There blood will flow in streams
And the earth turns red
And where blood-soaked earth burns
Hope will flourish after all
And those who were once lost
Will then be immortal
And that's how I know we'll live (oh)
No darkness can last forever (yeah)
Because where there's smoke, there's fire
And where there is fire, there is death
There blood will flow in streams
And the earth turns red
And where blood-soaked earth burns
Many do not return home
And those who stayed
Will be our future
And those who stayed
Will be our future
