Chrome, I am not typically a twangy country music person (more like the farthest thing from it), but after taking the kids to see "Cars" recently, I picked up the soundtrack as the kids liked the music and wanted to hear the songs as we drove places.
On the Soundtrack is a song that is really twangy.. but I have been captivated by it due to the message and find my self both listening and singing along on a regular basis. It's called "Behind the Clouds" by Brad Paisley and it says this:
Artist: Brad Paisley Lyrics Song: Behind the Clouds Lyrics When you're feeling lonely, lost and let down Seems like those dark skies are following you around And life's just one big shade of gray You wonder if you'll see the light of day
{chorus} Behind the clouds, the sun is shining Believe me even though you can't quite make it out You may not see the silver lining But there's a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds
I've heard it said that this too shall pass Good times or bad times, neither one lasts But thinking that your luck won't ever change Is like thinking it won't ever stop once it starts to rain
{chorus} Behind the clouds, the sun is shining Believe me even though you can't quite make it out You may not see the silver lining But there's a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds Yeah, there's a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds

The song makes a very good point, for those of us struggling with the hard times where we just can't see what is ahead. Thought you may find it interesting..
BTW... Coldplay is a great band... one of my favorites. Oh, and I just happened to see an accoustic Foo Fighters show the other night while on a business trip.. Had no idea they were playing that night, just happened to wander in front of the theater on my way to my hotel after dinner and some guy on the street offered me a ticket for $10. Simply Amazing show! They may have some good stuff for you too!
