#englishasignment

When I was in high school, I had an English project where I had to pick out 5 songs and write an essay on how those relate to me, and also put the said 5 songs onto a compact disc. I figured nearly 13yrs later, I’d actually do it again; however, this time, I’m not writing an entire essay to explain. I’m going to do reverse ordering to show which song is of most importance to me right now. 

5.  The Calling “Stigmatized”-This song counteracts my song below. Stigmatized is when you’re not supposed to be with someone in a relationship due to some kind of a major difference(my simple definition). Anyway, I relate to the song how you ask? I am currently single and have just always felt this way as it pertains to girls. 

4. Daughtry “Over You”-This song’s title is enough said. It took me several years(about 4 to 5) to get over my first breakup...and not to mention, she did it over the phone. I see a lot of relief in my life since I got over her. She’s now married to some guy from marching band. If you’re currently reading this, thanks for the memories, but I don’t miss you anymore. 

3. Submersed “Complicated”-This is basically just the story of life. Life is and gets so complicated that it’s not even funny. Sadly to say, some can’t take it and it often leads to suicide, but my message is this: life does and will get better; hang in there. 

2.Scott Stapp “Dying to Live”-This is absolutely one of the best “feels” song out there right now if you ask me. I still am living life, but there’s still some things I need/want to do yet but haven’t, hence “I’m Dying to Live.” 

1. Goo Goo Dolls “Iris”-This would not be a surprise to anyone who knows me. I have been obsessed with this song the past 3yrs or so, and I did my own acoustic cover of it on my Youtube channel. The song’s catchy chorus describes how I’ve felt for the longest time: “And I don’t want the world to see me, ‘cause  I don’t think that they’d understand.” My reasons: I don’t want  the world to see me because I am absolutely not perfect, and have made 10.000,000 tons of mistakes during my lifetime; also, I don’t think that the world understands me in general. I’m naturally a shy person until you actually know me.
