In "The Wednesday Wars" by Gary D. Schmidt, the protagonist Holling Hoodhood experiences a variety of events throughout the school year of 1967-1968. Some songs that could go along with these events include "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum for moments of introspection and melancholy, "Respect" by Aretha Franklin for themes of empowerment and self-discovery, and "Mrs. Robinson" by Simon & Garfunkel for a nostalgic look at the changing times and relationships. Each of these songs could complement the emotional depth and historical context of the novel's events.

Bob Marley based many of his songs on Africa and Peace in the world and ending the wars, also another big part of his songs were based on his childhood struggles in Trench Town Jamaica also the poverty of Jamaicans and the unfair treatment of the Black man.

What are some songs like 'The One That Got Away' by The Civil Wars?

In my opinion, if you like the song "The One That Got Away," you might also like many of the songs by Alison Krauss and Union Station. In particular, you might want to try songs from their albums So Long, So Wrong or New Favorite. You might also want to seek out songs by the Avett Brothers (such as "November Blue") or the Head and the Heart.


When was the Star Wars theme made?

It was made when Star Wars (later called Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope) was released in 1977, and continued through the rest of the films through 2005. The next Star Wars trilogy (set in events after Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi) will use the same theme music.


Is every song a love song?

No, of course not. There are songs dealing with people in Dire straits such as ( It Must be Him) where the girl is almost suicidally depressed and is awaiting a phone call from somebody and this is GRAVE. My Dad thought the song was about either and Abortionist , a dope pusher, or a psychiatrist, presumably one with the anti-suicide bent. Very depressive song. Then there are songs about wars, personality conflicts, you name it, not all songs are about love.
