It's a Sin to Tell a Lie - by Fats Waller (a Jazz standard from 1936...)

Try:

Old College Try - by The Mountain Goats (simple and sweet ...)

Don't Try So Hard - by Queen (a very atmospheric song... it makes me feel so cold...)

Die:

I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight - by Cutting Crew (a number one hit from the 80s...)

Never Say Die - by Black Sabbath (a real Hard-Rock anthem!...)

answer to BQ: I'm So Tired - by The Beatles (it's somehow sung and played in a tired manner...)

answer to BQ2: Italy vs. Helsinki - by Laakso (Laakso is a swiddish indie band, sure they aren't mentioned anywhere around here... but please check this song out it's worth a listen...)

PS. I would have given the links if I could, at least for "Italy vs. Helsinki", but as you can see I'm level 1 so I'm not allowed to post clickable links ... boring rules!...
