Here are four unpopular songs that deserve more recognition

Do you ever feel like listening to a song that portrays a deep meaning? A song that isn’t all about money or drugs, and makes you feel strong emotions?

Most popular songs nowadays involve one, if not both, of those themes.

Ones that don’t include foul language and obscure themes are often labeled as unpopular and lame.

Here are four unpopular songs that should definitely have more popularity.

“Save Myself” By Ed Sheeran

“Save Myself” is on the deluxe version of Sheeran’s most recent album “Divide.” Because of this, it isn’t as well known as other songs on the regular version of the album.

The song is about Sheeran giving everything he has to offer to others, but no one seems to do the same for him.

It talks about suppressing the feelings that come from life with “a drink and out-of-date prescription pills.”

As the song continues, Sheeran then talks about how he has to start putting himself first, or he’ll go right back to caring for others who do not care about him.

I feel the most powerful lyric in the song is when Sheeran says, “So before I save someone else, I’ve got to save myself / And before I blame someone else, I’ve got to save myself / And before I love someone else, I’ve got to love myself.”

“Back to Me” By Daya

“Back to Me” is written on Daya’s only album “Sit Still, Look Pretty.”

The song is about a heartbroken girl who understands that she needs to let go of her old feelings for a boy who only wanted to love her when another girl wasn’t entertaining him.

Daya tells the boy that it’s to late for them to be together, seeing as loving him is now “an afterthought.”

She says that she can’t keep allowing him to come back into her life because he broke the best part of her, referring to the heart.

I , hands down, recommend this song to anyone having a hard time dealing with a breakup but knows it was for the best.

“Who Are You” By Fifth Harmony

Although “Who Are You” was released more than four years ago, and when the group still contained all five of the original members, it still has relevance to today’s society.

The girls talk about how the person they’re with sends mixed emotions. The song states that the boy is loving one day and the next he’s not.

Here’s a sample: “Friday, fell back in love / Saturday, we didn’t talk / Sunday, you said you needed space.”

The girls go on about how they need to know whether they’re wanted or not and how the boy will react in different situations.

“Who are you gonna be when I’m lost and I’m scared? / Who are you gonna be when there’s nobody there?

The girls then say how it’s usual how something or someone could make you feel good and then turn around and bring you pain.

The emotion from the vocals alone is enough to make anyone tear up a little.

“Funeral” By Lukas Graham 

Lukas Graham is a band, despite the one-person name. Graham is the band’s lead singer and the other members play the instruments.

The band is mostly know for their most popular “7 years.”

“Funeral” is meant to be an upbeat song, telling loved ones not to be upset over Graham’s death because he’s lived a good life.

Graham says that although time with him was cut short, it doesn’t mean that he won’t still be watching over the ones he cares about.

The chorus of the song says, “Everyone welcome to my funeral / Everyone I know better be wasted / You know I would pour one up / Cause the way I lived was amazing.”

The vocals from this song are very soulful and would surely help anyone having trouble coping with the death of a loved one.
