I just hope the band still get a few quid in royalties! Despite supporting Coldplay in 2005, they split up in 2007 after only releasing the one album. This song is also famous for being the soundtrack to The Inbetweeners, which young James can relate to a lot! But it appeared on FIFA 07 beforehand. Gone Up In Flames – Morning Runner (FIFA 07)
However this song has a great chorus and it will live on by featuring on FIFA 07. Their second would end up on the Indie Landfill and this Canadian band would break up in 2011. Never even released as a single, New York Minute featured on Mobile’s first album. But given it was on two of the biggest footballing games of the mid-00s and an iPod commercial, this song will probably be remembered a bit more than some other songs on this list! These guys have been on hiatus since 2012, so that means they’re getting back together soon, right?
I guess we’ll never find out!Īlso to feature on LMA Manager 2005, which young James would enjoy playing, not to manage a football team but to rebuild the stadium (which you couldn’t do on Champ Man, ok?) this song’s lyrics is somewhat questionable when you listen to them. They, like so many acts on this list, would break up a little while after the song came out but I’m still unsure as to how “love’s like a kaleidoscope”. However Kaleidoscope made it onto FIFA 07 and it’s an indie banger. This French band are so obscure there isn’t even a Wikipedia page for them. However, the memory of this song remains. But I’d be curious to know which songs you remember? Let me know which ones you’d recommend!īut in the meantime, here are my picks which I’ve linked to their music videos on YouTube:Ī song very much trapped in its time, mainly by the use of the phrase “me and my crew” Discotheque speaks of nights out and would feature on FIFA 07, before young James had much idea of what that was like! Young Love would be a band for only four years, so much like many other young loves, they burn out all too quickly. This is purely subjective and I still sometimes listen to these songs as I’d downloaded them at the time and I still have them on playlists now. Most of these I’ve picked because the bands who performed them didn’t really go on to have much mainstream success, which is a shame, but they will be immortalised by getting a song onto one of these soundtracks.
FIFA 09 SOUNDTRACK SONGS PLUS
Plus there are so many other great songs on these soundtracks, many of which also take me back to those days, which I’ve sadly have to leave out as they’re by artists who did have more success (such as Foals who had Olympic Airways feature in FIFA 09 and Kings of Leon whose song Red Morning Light was a staple of FIFA 2004). My list is mainly from the era in which I played FIFA the most, the mid to late 00s. But there are also songs by artists which sadly didn’t go on to success and this blog aims to celebrate and remember them a little. It can often be a great platform for artists to get their music out there. The soundtrack is often what makes a FIFA game so great, a carefully curated mix of genres, new and established artists plus some classics (Town Called Malice by The Jam and Fools Gold by The Stone Roses on FIFA 2004 being good examples). So for this blog I’m going back to my teenage years to dig out my favourite obscure songs which featured in a FIFA soundtrack, which I think it pretty obscure in itself!
