A melancholy/ nostalgic/ contemporary song?

Song for contemporary dance that has a very dark side but also a happy side?

  • Im choreographing a contemporary/lyrical dance for a group of girls college aged, there are about twenty of them. I want to split them up into two groups of ten and one group will be dancing in a very dark contemporary style, probably wearing black. The other group will be dancing in a lighter lyrical style to contrast the other group, probably wearing white. So i'm looking for a song that would fit this type of dance, maybe something that has dark heavy music at times and light lifting music at other times, I don't want it to be a really slow song though, and I would rather it be a more modern song as well. Kind of like a comparison between life and death as an example, but it doesn't have to be that specific or obvious, just any two things that contrast each other in that way. Thanks!
