Even the younger generation knows Johnny Cash as he has crossed borders in genres, but yet remains classically country. For your title, what about "Sunday Morning Coming Down"? This is a very poingnant, yet dark song written by the great Kris Kristofferson, about a man whose tone is most melancholic; he has been attempting to drown his sorrows on Saturday night. On Sunday, he finds his "cleanest dirty shirt" and "stumbles down to face the day." He catches the
Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken. And, it took me back to somethin/That I lost somehow, somewhere along the way.
It's a lonesome song. So, if you want something more upbeat, perhaps you want to look at Shania Twain, etc. Another great poignant oldie is Willie Nelson. His "Angel Flying too Close to the Ground" is a beautifully tender song:
If you had not fallen/ I would not have found you/Angel flying too close to the ground/I patched up your broken wing/...I knew someday that you would fly away/For love's the greatest healer to be found....
