Here are two. The first I stumbled upon on YouTube, the second I first heard on the Muzak in a local pizza place. It wasn't until I looked up the lyrics to find the song and discovered that both were by the same group, The Decemberists.
Both songs are enjoyable. The first, whose actual title is "Summersong", has a machinima story called "Summer in City 17" done using Half-Life 2 that was apparently designed around the song, including an interesting trick that when the scene focuses on a radio the audio is downgraded to sound like something played on AM radio.

The second apparently is about a hardscrabble pan miner called "Rox in the Box". This one shows the lyrics.

I just discovered something which is why I left the broken reference there. YouTube video id references containing a - are broken as a hyphenated word and not translated correctly. This is the same as the "https bug."
Here's a different link.

You're right, sorry.Flack wrote:You didn't put a "/" in front of your closing YouTube link. Video links with dashes work just fine.
Here's one I found by accident when Amazon Music on my Fire TV device presented this song, I had never heard of this artist. I'm trying to remember who she reminds me of.
Rachel Platten, "Fight Song"

I had quite a bit of trouble getting into Peter Gabriel - every one of his songs sounded derivative from countless parodies and later tonal tributes that played off his motifs. But then I realized that he had done alot of this first and had started a couple trends:
*Experimental pop music.
*Tone deaf / neutral sounding lyrics
Both of which is personified in this song (especially with the minimal instruments and vocalization that I can imagine was ahead of its time.)
I thoroughly enjoyed this song and am glad to add it to my list of songs I can't believe I haven't heard.

Re: Music I can't believe I'm just discovering
Described to me as sounding "oriental," Septic Flesh manages to infuse a smooth, drum and cymbal driven beat into heavy metal. Stored behind a few marvelous sounding guitar solos, its amazing that I didn't know about this band any earlier. Overall, the sound is wide, lush, and doesn't fall to the normal tropes of heavy metal music.
