(This song reminds me of "Native Son" because of its overall meaning in overcoming life's hardest lessons of coming close to death but not giving up on life. This is also an artist from Chicago)
2. Fix You - Coldplay
(This song reminds me of "House on Mango Street". Esperanza feels trapped in her neighborhood and desperately wants a house of her own away from Mango Street. At the end of the story Esperanza decides that she will write for women all over, but especially for the women on Mango Street. She will try to fix the oppression of women she sees done by men all over.)
3. Wreck of the Day - Anna Nalick
(This is a song about being let down by life and love. It's about trying to not fall to pieces because of the constant effort given but still not being accepted or understanding about yourself through fighting for love. This song reminds me of "Hairstyles of the Damned".
4. The Taste of Ink - The Used
("So here I am, alive at last, and I'll savor every moment of this!" It's a sort of anthom for a younger generation finally finding themselves and feeling acceptance and love in someone else.)
5. Middle of Nowhere - Hot Hot Heat
(This song is about being open to everything and nothing at all. "To give you something to go on, when I go off back to the middle of nowhere." It's about being there for someone else when you are feeling lost yourself.)
