Dedicated to my mom.

You’re so Vain by Carly Simon You walked into the party Like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye in the mirror As you watched yourself gavotte And all the girls dreamed That they'd be your partner They'd be your partner, and.... You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? You had me several years ago When I was still quite naive Well you said that we made such a pretty pair And that you would never leave But you gave away the things you loved And one of them was me I had some dreams They were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee and.... You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? Well I hear you went up to Saratoga And your horse naturally won Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun Well, you're where you should be all of the time And when you're not you're with Some underworld spy Or the wife of a close friend Wife of a close friend, and.... You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? I chose this song because in the song there is a guy who cares about him self more than anybody else. That is how Frankenstein was with his experiments. When he made the monster he didn’t care who he hurt or what lives would be taken as long as he got his work done which led to his downfall. Vain Frankenstein

Ebony And Ivory Live Together In Perfect Harmony Side By Side On My Piano Keyboard, Oh Lord Why Don't We? Ebony, Ivory Living In Perfect Harmony (Repeat And Fade) I chose this song because its about how white and blacks are the same we both have feelings and fears and stuff like that. That is why we should live together in harmony as the song states. Glory Prejudice

Nickelback & Josey Scott Hero I am so high, I can hear heaven I am so high, I can hear heaven Whoa, but heaven...no, heaven don't hear me And they say That a hero could save us I'm not gonna stand here and wait I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles Watch as we all fly away Someone told me Love would all save us But, how can that be Look what love gave us A world full of killing And blood spilling That world never came And they say That a hero could save us I'm not gonna stand here and wait I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles Watch as we all fly away Now that the world isn't ending It's love that I'm sending to you It isn't the love of a hero And that's why I fear it won't do And they say That a hero could save us I'm not gonna stand here and wait I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles Watch as we all fly away And they're watching us They're watching us As we all fly away And they're watching us They're watching us As we all fly away And they're watching us They're watching us As we all fly away The song is about spider-man and how he loves Mary-Jane and wants to be with her but he cant because his responsibility for being spider-man wont allow him to. What I’ve learned about the American Hero is that they always know what right and think of others before themselves. American Hero Last of the Mohicans

Right now by Fort Minor Someone right now, Is leaving their apartment, Lookin' down at the street, And wonderin' where their car went. Someone in a car, Sittin' at a signal, In front of a restaraunt, Starin' through the window at, Someone right now with, Their finger in their teeth, Who could use a little floss Right across the street, There's somebody on the curb, Who really needs a jacket. Spent half the rent at a bar getting plastered. Now hes gotta walk fourteen blocks, To work at a shop where he's about to get fired. Someone right now, Is looking pretty tired, Starin' at a laptop, Tryin' to get inspired. Somebody, Livin' right across the street, Just wrote the best thing that shes written all week, But her best friend's coughin' up blood in the sink, He can't even think what happened, Feeling so confused, And he knows it looks bad but, There's nothing he can do, I wonder what its like to be right there in his shoes. The song is about poverty and how everyone there is suffering especially the main character in the song because he is an inspiring rap artists but no one cares and all he wants is acknowledgement. It relates to Frankenstein is because all the monster wanted was to acknowledged as a person not just a monster. Frankenstein Man vs. Society

Time Traveling by Common What what, we do this time Rock rock.... Yes, let this music travel through you Talk about feelings, yeah yo Yo wassup world? Yo what's happening? It's the C-double-O and I'm back again Take this back and then, tell a friend Spaces and places you been, time travelin *echoes* Time travelin *echoes* Yo, I was a piano player in my last lifetime Now I write rhymes, sip white wine and let my light shine Out the dark space, with the world on my mind like Scarface though my sex drive like a car chase More than a uhh, it's the piece of mind I chase Stakes are high, like my uncle is We both got problems, he never confronted his Under the bridge I wrote, some shit to stay afloat And paint a picture, raw like the first coat Send my old man a note to keep his phone on My little cuz'll know cheap tricks are homegrown Travel to a place sweeter than home, listenin to Nina Simone Repeat this psalm, to the sky I'm keepin my palms Facin the east, actions macin the beast Embracin the streets, my god caught a case cuz he beat His lady down, it's two-thou That ain't the way we lay it down Souls get, found and lost at the roads they cross Many paid dues, but few knew the costs I ran through the Moss like Randy Touchindown wit God, close friends, and family Recognize the voice in the wilderness Com Sense, '92 and I'm still in this Time travelin, took my time in hand My rhyme learn and plan Jealousy, money and pride can burn a man Some walk but never learn to stand Still, afraid to expand what they feel I'm dealin wit, wakes, marriages ATM's, Ericsson's Loud niggas that whisper carelessness If we livin in Revelation Why should the people of the sun have to run? Come to Esau in a year, he'll have freedom He ask why I hadn't been to see him Really, I ain't have a good reason He said, "Rah, give back what you receivin" In a race against time, I was caught In the same game as you, but long live the sport It's time travelin It's the C-double-O and I'm back again Take this back and then, tell a friend Spaces and places you been Time travelin *fades out* time travelin.... ` The song is about how hip-hop has changed into something negative from the art it used to be and how we should time Travel back in time to when rap was a good thing not something negative. In 12 Monkeys they wanted to travel back and make there future positive not negative when 5 billion people died Time Travel 12 Monkeys

Chains of Slavery by Strom Warrior Trod as slaves by the tyrant canes Laid in chains, scars and bloode All the years I've suffered in paine Forced by the guards to serve their lordes Pride they can't afforde Trapped in hell, the master's hande Signes of justice, broken men Fighte, stande proude, gather to strike Rebellion of slaves, ye shall arise Freedom in thy eyes, a hearte fill'd withe pride We're breaking the chains of slavery The tyrant falles tonighte I won't cringe to the false I hear the cries of my brothers Heede the call of the fighte Won't kneele again, rather die Fighte, stande proude, gather to strike Rebellion of slaves, ye shall arise Freedom in thy eyes, a hearte fill'd with pride We're breaking the chains of slavery The tyrant falles tonighte [Kai:] Freedom, the cry in my bloode I hear the calle of my gods Brothers oute in the fieldes Remember the whips that forced us to kneele Raise your fists to the skye Hail the gods up high Swear the oathe of revenge, free our clans And break the chains forever Slavery in the Piano Lesson was about how the piano was created and what it represented in there family.

FarWe've been traveling farWithout a homeBut not without a starFreeOnly want to be freeWe huddle closeHang on to a dreamOn the boats and on the planesThey're coming to AmericaNever looking back againThey're coming to AmericaHome,Don't it seem so far awayOh, we're traveling light todayIn the eye of the stormIn the eye of the stormHome,to a new and a shiny placeMake our bed, and we'll say our graceFreedom's light burning warmFreedom's light burning warmEverywhere around the worldThey're coming to AmericaEvery time that flag's unfurledThey're coming to AmericaGot a dream to take them thereThey're coming to AmericaGot a dream they've come to shareThey're coming to America The song relates to migrant worker because migrant workers go through a lot of hardships and dream to have a better life here but are almost always treated badly and never have a place called home.

Friendship the fox and the hound When you're the best of friends, Having so much fun together, You're not even aware you're such a funny pair, You're the best of friends. Life's a happy game, You could clown around for ever, Neither one of you sees your natural boundaries, Life's one happy game. If only the world wouldn't get in your way, If only people would just let you play, They'd say you're both being fools, You're breaking all the rules, They can't understand, The magic of your wonderland. When you're the best of friends, Sharing all that you discover, When these moments have passed, Will that friendship last? Who can't say there's a way? Oh I hope, I hope it never ends, Cause you're the best of friends The song is about the fox and the hound and how they are best friends and depend on each other just like Lennie and George are. Also how important friendship is life. Friendship Mice & Men
