Why can't I find old songs when they are made by legit artists that have newer material published and on Spotify!? "All Things (the **bleep** Eye theme)" is one of those songs, and it's only from 2003. I can find other popular songs from the 1920's, 30's 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, and so on... However no mainstream original song from 2003? That specific song was on television way more than it should have been, and is on Youtube. I'm tryna' make playlists here! I see the remakes, that need to be taken off because of tempo and key issues. The producing artist, and the featured artist are both legit with recent popular releases. If you are reading this, I encourage you to comment further, with more songs that are not on this beloved platform! The Exec's and editors may not listen to just me but with the strength in numbers, they will. Not finding song that throw you back in time can be heartbreaking, please  help with this urgent cause.

Dear Spotify, Q-u-e-e-r should not appear as a "bleep", that's discrimination against a recognized group. It makes you seem ingnorant and distant. Thank you.

everyone, please listen to this band. Every now and then an album grabs you, slowly at first, then it becomes a total master piece. I get goosebumps when Im listening to it
