I've got one from last year. I wanted songs to convey faith and struggle with sadness or sin. Here's a sample of that playlist.

(Don't Worry) If There's A Hell Below . . . Curtis Mayfield
The Last Supper -- Orig. Broadway Cast, Jesus Christ Superstar
It's A Long Way Down -- Art Blakey
Stand! -- Sly & The Family Stone
Solitude -- Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington
I Am I Be == De La Soul
Lithium -- Nirvana
When The World Is Running Down . . . -- The Police
The Lowest 1 of My Desires -- Van Hunt
Loose Leaves (Broken Remix) -- Nova Scotia
In Dayz 2 Come -- The Jungle Brothers
Missing -- Beck
Passion -- Peter Gabriel

Do any of y'all do this?

I'm not Catholic and I don't understand the whole spiel, but everybody's going around looking like eastern Indians with gray dots on their forehead.

Well, they're artistic renditions. Depending on the priest, deacon or minister, you can get a cross, a thumbprint, a number, it all depends!

Got To Give It Up - Thin Lizzy

I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
That stuff

Tell my mama and tell my pa
That their fine young son didn't get far
He made it to the end of a bottle
Sitting in a sleazy bar

He tried hard but his spirit broke
He tried until he nearly choked
In the end he lost his
Bottle drinking alcohol

I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
That stuff


Tell my brother I tried to write and
Put pen to paper but I was frightened
I couldn't seem to get the words out right
Right quite right

Tell my sister I'm sinking slow
Now and again I powder my nose
In the end I lost my bottle
It smashed in a casbah

I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
That stuff


I've been messing with the heavy stuff
For a time I couldn't get enough
But I'm waking up and it's wearing off
Junk don't take you far

Tell my mama I'm coming home
In my youth I'm getting older
And I think it's lost control
Mama I'm coming home

I've got to give it up I've got to give it up
That stuff




Tragic song because, of course, Phil Lynott who wrote the song never managed to give up the drugs that killed him way before his time.




It's an upbeat rock song, but with such a twinge of sadness to it.
