What’s your favorite deep cut from an album?

I'm not sure this track fits the usual definition of a deep cut, but I'm choosing Y Teimlad by Datblygu anyway. I first heard it as a cover by Super Furry Animals on their album Mwng—notable for being entirely in the Welsh language. It's a lovely song even if you don't understand the words, though that's not really a problem nowadays. Perhaps a better frame of reference for this choice is: a song that opened the door to something overlooked by the mainstream.
