Before they dominated radio waves, Neon Trees were crafting moody, synth-driven anthems like “1983.”

This deep cut from their debut album is a nostalgic love letter to simplicity, blending Tyler Glenn’s emotive vocals with shimmering guitar riffs.

Fun fact: The song’s title nods to the year Glenn was born, adding a personal touch to its wistful lyrics.

2. “Your Surrender” (From *Picture Show*, 2012)

Sandwiched between bigger hits on *Picture Show*, this track is a masterclass in tension and release.

With its pulsating bassline and explosive chorus, “Your Surrender” proves Neon Trees could balance vulnerability with arena-ready energy.

It’s the kind of song that makes you wonder: How did this not blow up?

3. “Sleeping with a Friend” (From *Pop Psychology*, 2014)

Yes, this one was a single—but it’s often overshadowed by their earlier smashes.

A slick, disco-infused jam, it marked the band’s shift toward glossier production while keeping their signature wit (“It’s just like sleeping with a friend… but cooler”).

Pure ear candy with a side of playful rebellion.

4. “Living in Another World” (From *Pop Psychology* Deluxe Edition, 2014)

B-side? More like *B*-rilliant.

This deluxe-edition bonus track is a synth-pop dream, with Glenn’s falsetto soaring over dreamy, spaced-out production.

It’s proof that even their leftovers were chef’s-kiss quality.

5. “Feel Good” (From *I Can Feel You Forgetting Me*, 2020)

Neon Trees’ comeback album flew under the radar, but “Feel Good” is a standout.

Mixing their classic anthemic style with darker, more introspective lyrics, it’s a testament to their evolution.

Bonus: The chorus is *impossible* not to sing along to.

So, which forgotten Neon Trees track just became your new obsession?

Hit play on these hidden gems—because sometimes the best songs aren’t the ones on the charts, but the ones waiting to be rediscovered.
