Johnny Horton was a great friend of Johnny Cash's. When Cash heard that Horton had died, he "locked myself in one of the hotel's barrooms and cried."
Temperament that it hits on: Melancholic
The Mansion You Stole hits on my melancholic because it is slow, sad, and emotional, about a man who was suckered out of love and his own home. Melancholics, usually the most emotional temperament type, usually better appreciate sad songs than the other temperament types.
This song has helped me to appreciate violinists a lot better than I used to. The violin in this song sounds really nice to me.
A suggestion for Melancholic: Solitude is Bliss by Tame Impala. It's a great song about, well, solitude being bliss.
