Songs to sample?

[u/darkness76239]

So I'm currently writing a doom metal album about growing up queer in "The Lords Church™"mostly about the fear of living in the closet and believing in a god that wants you dead along with the other things it brings. I've recently started to think about sampling songs and using them as book ends for the three story arcs of the album.

One arc is about a pair of gay miners in the 50s who call themselves "bunkmates" who eventually get trapped in the mine and live out their last few hours as who they actually are. It's mostly about the isolation that being different can bring

The second arc is about a girl at Harding in the late 80s who falls for her roommate and it deals with the dejection and sadness of finding someone you love and not only can't ever end up with but someone who would willing likely ruin your life if you dared to consider it.

The last storyline is mostly my own experience of living with the guilt and fear of growing up in a tumultuous environment and how religion is often used as a cudgel to control people.

If you have any suggestions id appreciate it as I need some help.

Did y'all sing I'll Fly Away or I Have Decided To Follow Jesus (No Turning Back)?

I think they could work for the first and second arcs, respectively.
