Also I think "In Heaven (everything is fine)" is a underrated song, pure, untamed,ferocious joy.

I think Blown Away is underrated. It's quite a beautiful song actually.

And I'll go with Santo being underrated, great song for a B-side.

"Ana" from Bossanova is a very underrated song. Its a short song that on first listening to it you'd probably think its filler, but its actually a very beautiful, haunting song.

Hi uriah! Yeah, I love Ana. Eerie surf....sounds like a James Bond theme a bit!

Oh yeah, and Blown Away is indeed beautiful. Maybe it's the production or something, but I think maybe it doesn't have the punch it could have had, though. As Black says on the Dream Is Over boot, "I take it that, eh....everybody hates this song!" Definitely under-rated.

"I hate how the reptile dreams it's a mammal. Scaley monster: be what you are!!" - Erebus.

I don't know what it is about Blown Away, but I always feel the studio version doesn't do justice to what a great song it is, so yeah, maybe it is the production.

I think it would be benefit if it were more stripped down, which is why I love the Dream Is Over version. Also the production of the vocals on the Bossanova version gives it a 'spacey' feel. I think if the vocals sounded more 'real' and 'intimate' it would be better. After all, it is a "love song".

I've Been Waiting For You. It's an absolute classic. It's a B-Side that kills.

lovely day

EDIT: one of Frank's best vocal performances. When he says, "but i'll send you money, i'll send you lots of money so you can buy a ticket", you believe him.

In Lovely Day I always thought he was singing "I remember your red dress, like a pimple a poppin'". The 'red' being blood from a bursted pimple.

I know, eeeww.
