The song was finished and released as a standalone single in October 2019. The single version removes the introduction and first verse that are still included when performed live.
"Broad-Shouldered Beasts" Wilder Mind 2015
"Broken Crown" Babel 2012 New version of previous B-side to "Little Lion Man", "To Darkness".
"Chaos" Song title pictured on a whiteboard in the studio for Delta. The song has never been heard.
"Cold Arms" Wilder Mind 2015 The track features vocals from Marcus Mumford and lone electric guitar from Winston Marshall. The band experimented with extra instrumentation in the recording process but decided to keep the song's stripped-back nature. Marshall said of the track, "We may never play this one live" but in June 2015 the band began performing the song acoustically with Ted Dwane, Ben Lovett and Marshall providing backing vocals.
"Crimson" Song title pictured on a whiteboard in the studio for Delta. The song has never been heard.
"Darkness Visible" Delta 2018 A near-instrumental track, it is band's first to feature spoken word lyrics, which are provided by Gill Landry.
"Delta" Delta 2018 The song began as two separate demos, the first titled "Walk With Me", that were later combined.
"Ditmas" Wilder Mind / Ditmas - Single 2015 Released as third single from Wilder Mind.
"Drunk" Song title pictured on a whiteboard in the studio for Delta. The song has never been heard.
"Dust Bowl Dance" Sigh No More 2009 When played live, an instrumental interlude opens the song.
"Feel The Tide" Love Your Ground 2008 Written before SNM release, didn't make album but still played live.
"Fool You've Landed" Johannesburg 2016 Collaboration with The Very Best and Beatenberg. One of only two songs with lead vocals provided by Marshall. Originally a demo for Wilder Mind that did not make the cut, Mumford said of the track, "It became a whole different thing to what it was before. There was like a verse idea and a chorus idea that feature on this song, but then Esau from the Very Best really embraced the verse, and wrote it basically in the studio."
"Forever" Delta / Forever (Garage Version) - Single 2018 The first electric song that the band laid to tape for Wilder Mind; Mumford described the song as "the gateway drug to the rest of the record ...We took what Forever had done and worked with that". The song did not make the cut for Wilder Mind as it was technically a road-written song and "didn’t quite fit sound-wise, style-wise". The song was first heard when played live in May 2016, printed on the setlist as FOREVER (THE PARACHUTE SONG). The song was revisited in the recording of Delta and realised as a piano-led ballad. A third 'acoustic version' was performed on the Delta Tour. The original 'garage version' from 2014 was released as a standalone single in May 2020.
"For Those Below" Babel 2012 Released as bonus-track on Deluxe Edition of Babel. One of only two songs with lead vocals provided by Marshall.
