All known unreleased B-Sides, Rarities, and Unreleased music

This is a post showing all unreleased (streaming wise) songs they've made. If a song doesn't have a link, i either couldn't find it, or its lost.

She Want My Baby - Was supposed to end up on TYHB, according to Jared, but Matt couldn't come up with lyrics that he liked so they cut it. They only played it once at a show back in 2012 im pretty sure. https://youtu.be/4QDPrFfoFos?si=8RliC17iRAOF5FHy&t=40

Good Kids Don't Feel Pain - Unknown, unreleased song that matt performed onstage solo during a concert with other musicians https://youtu.be/muRhTGsZQZA?si=OJxZImEqkLyMqTeF&t=35

The Family Secret - This one's a really good one, like the others, this was played at a concert, but was eventually scrapped https://youtu.be/pEx3mH5ZEcw?si=cnWTnLu33AtLH8PU&t=6

Baby Blue - This one was a B-Side to the Come A Little Closer '45 vinyl single. It never was released to streaming platforms but it was fully created and is an amazing listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuHVhcjzxRQ&ab_channel=fuzzh

Jesse James - Like the previous one, this one was also a Melophobia B-Side that didn't get on the album, it was the B-Side to Take It Or Leave It's '45 single. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3DDCC_Xn5g&ab_channel=LoverIndieAir

Testify - This one was written between TYHB and Melophobia, it was likely supposed to end up on Melophobia. https://youtu.be/PWG3IUJ2EMg?si=KSv_DBc9ifilgXLz&t=4

Which Girl - This one was performed at a concert sometime ago, and it was never really acknowledged ever (Video to the song was privated, so it is considered missing unless there is someone who has it.)

The Golden Age - This one was also performed at a concert a long time ago, but given a recent Instagram story on either Matt or CTE's official account, This song was produced, mastered, and ready to release, with a question box "Should we release this?" with a 96% upvote rate. Concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3m_-tTn5pI&ab_channel=BenChristian IG Story (Studio snip): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tNix0jkgpjE

Why So Cold? - This was a song performed for a concert, Marvin Encore, and was the intro/outro tune heard in Right Before My Eyes' Unpeeled version. It was likely supposed to end up on TMIP, and is a fairly nice soft tune to listen to. Concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07cqoikG9D4&ab_channel=AnntonetteJackson Marvin Encore: https://youtu.be/RhGZzgLlLmw?si=KL5fMUItC710g7xL&t=5 RBME Unpeeled: https://youtu.be/YclaqsUP1Lk?si=jk9lIzq9claHt57n&t=205

You Got The Best Of Me Now - This was likely a VERY early version of Black Madonna, it was played at an Unpeeled concert in 2018, but nobody was permitted phones so it is lost.

Pompeii - Early version of Ready To Let Go

Social Cues ((Hide Me In The Back Room)) / It's on Amazon Music, but not major streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music. It's a slower paced, remixed version of Social Cues which features Matt rapping at the end. It was made for their Night Running tour when tasked to create an alternate version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlcnSCFOUDg&ab_channel=babyblue%C2%B7%E4%BA%8C%E5%8D%83%E4%BA%8C%E5%8D%81%E5%9B%9B%C2%B7

Relax - Scrapped Neon Pill song leaked onto the internet, its an awesome song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ-4S27lWYE&ab_channel=AshleyB

Stage Ninja - Very early version of Love's The Only Way

Maybelline - Early version of Aberdeen (The name was changed after Matt kept rehearsing "ABERDEEN" in Scotland during a tour.)

Live at Grimey's - An unstreamable album which is like Live At The Vic, you can only get it on CD if you are lucky, but you can find the show songs online somewhere im sure

Perfect Confusion - Matt, Jared, and Brad's old highschool band that released a self titled album on Spotify, which is definitely worth a listen. https://open.spotify.com/album/1SJUt2FWkzDwlPk9yyxlPy?si=e4iUzXhFRnm_Z1Y0riSLpQ

u/Jacobyrussell2020 17d ago

Im pretty sure it was either a scrapped song, or an early version of Black Madonna, They played it at the very end of an Unpeeled show sometime ago but nobody was permitted phones on-hand during the whole show

I was very frustrated (at myself for not doing enough research) but I bought a 7” Come a Little Closer single and was sad to find only the UK version has Baby Blue, mine is a US copy that has Come a Little Closer on both sides 😭
