Canary in a Coal Mine by The Crane Wives
It was released on September 22, 2012
Fun Fact: Canaries were historically brought into coal mines in cages by miners, because if there were toxic gases such as carbon monoxide in the mines, they would kill off the canaries first and allow the miners to leave. A “canary in a coal mine” is thus a warning sign of danger. In this song, the singer shoulders the danger and pain faced by her partner, and suffers as a result.

Wellerman by Nathan Evans
It was released on January 21, 2021
Fun Fact: Known as “Soon May the Wellerman Come” or “The Wellerman,” the sea shanty from New Zealand dates back to 1860. A long song with lots of lyrics, the song likely provided a great deal of meaning and accompaniment to long days in the country as shore whalers hunted their giant sea mammals for flesh and oil. The title of the song is a reference to supply ships owned by the Weller brothers, who were some of the earliest European settlers of the Otago region of New Zealand. In 2021, Nathan Evans earned a viral hit on TikTok for his cover of this song.

Soldier, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos
It was released on October 16, 2015
Fun Fact: The soldier embodies an undying fight for justice and truth, while the poet epitomizes the beauty of emotions, words and sentiments. The king is the embodiment of righteousness, leader of all the virtues, and defender of integrity. The song’s lyrics come directly from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. It speaks of how faith gives us strength, reminding us that we don't have to choose between being soldiers for justice or being poets. Instead, it is a call to be both. With faith and moral courage we can do hard things, bringing justice and beauty into this world. (this isn't a confirmed meaning but best I could find- Mod Secret)
