Pretty Good Day by Loudon Wainwright III
The title sounds happy, doesn’t it? But listen to the lyrics and let the melancholic melody take you to its end. Pretty good day so far…

(From his new album, Washington Square Serenade)
Steve Earle (born January 17, 1955) is an American singer-songwriter, well known for his rock and country music, as well as for his many political views. He is also a published writer, a political activist and has written and directed a play. In his early career, he was seen as a saviour of country music and labeled by some as the “new Bruce Springsteen”. In the later part of his career, after troubles with the law and drug addiction and due to his uncompromising viewpoints, he has become known as “the hardcore troubadour”.
