I forgot to post earlier. Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners, by the Foo Fighters.

There's a fun story behind this track. During the Beaconsfield mine collapse a couple of years ago, the two trapped miners asked for an ipod with Foo Fighters songs on it. Dave sent down a message with the ipod that he'd dedicate a track on the next album to them and that when they got out they could have free tickets to a show. Ballad is the song that he wrote for them.
