OMG! I did it again.
Sorry folks.
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
OMG! I did it again.
Sorry folks.
None. I think the closest I come to having one is "Goodnight Moon" by Shivaree.
Oh come on! Not even Johnny Cash covering "Hurt"?

Nope. Because while I think it's a brilliant cover, I've not gotten around to buying it because I don't actually know how often I would want to listen to it. I like my emotionally-wrecking music a bit less ... what's the word I want here? Gut-wrenchingly depressing?
Gut-wrenchingly depressing?
How about "El Paso" by Marty Robbins? Pretty and ballady and gothily tragic without the gut-wrenching? Plus, Marty wears black.
How about "El Paso" by Marty Robbins?
Er, I haven't heard it?
How about "The Grand Tour" by George Jones, which somehow turns the lines "as you leave, you'll see the nursery/oh, she left me without mercy" into two of the most fraught-with-emotion lines ever recorded?

My country song of the day is "Honky Tonk Heroes" by Waylon. iTunes informs me that my other one is "Willie, Waylon and Me" by David Allan Coe.
Much like Lee, I can't narrow it to one.
Er, I haven't heard it?
"Out in the west Texas town of El Paso / I fell in love with a Mexican girl..."
Strangely, upon asking my iPod again for a country song of the day, it served up Boris's "Akuma No Uta." So my country song of the day is mislabeled Japanese metal.
You know Johnny Cash also covered "The Mercy Seat" right?
