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!
