Telethon - Positively Clark Street - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SS8Hvx30A8 - It's 39C here, so this song about how sunshine and summer kinda sucks a bit sometimes and it'd be really nice if it just rained a bit, really resonates.

This track, off the 1997 compilation album of songs written for films, definitely falls into that more experimental side of music.
