Forgotten Songs of the '90s: This Picture

Forgotten Songs of the ‘90s: This Picture

This is probably one of the greatest songs that no one has ever heard but thanks to the good people at VH1 Classic, the video has been rediscovered and a new generation of people can hear what marvelous sounds like.

This Picture, a short-lived British rock band broke onto the scene in late 1991 with the driving “Naked Rain,” off of their debut album, A Violent Impression. The song begins with a sleight string-laden intro until the vocals of Symon Bye come in in the best way imaginable, slow and quiet. Then drummer Duncan Forrester counts off and the band comes in at full speed. From there, the song takes off in extremely interesting ways. While it is another song about love lost and trying to regain, it stands out because the music is so dynamic.

When the chorus comes in, the band are at the peak of their power and they know it and they keep driving the song until it reaches its powerful crescendo. I’m basically saying that once this song hits your subconscious, it will never leave and that’s a damn good thing because it’s so uncommon today. So go download or steal this song wherever you can and start listening.
