I need help REALLY badly...!!!
 

I'm doing a Catcher In The Rye project, and I have to make a cd of songs that relate to Holden's moods throughout the book, at different parts. Does anyone have any songs that can help?

If you've read the book and remember it, I need songs that relate to main points that reflect his moods and stuff. If you know of any ideas, it'd be much appreciated.

If you haven't read it, I need some song ideas for:

Depression
dropping out of school
worried about the future
turning down a whore (and getting beaten up for it)
death of a loved one
^Coping with it
jealousy over a girl
Reminiscing about a past crush
etc...

Only thing is> No metal/screaming nonstop/ rap/ etc.

Rock/ r-b, blues, jazz, etc, are fine.

Rotten Apple - Alice In Chains (It's metal, but a really mellow song)

For which topic?

Depression :(

I had Mad World, but Days Go By is PERFECT! Thanks a bunch dude, i'll check some of the others.

This is cheating! I'll have nothing to do with it!

I have just under 10,000

my list is mainly from the 70's /80's era if any of these help

I love making random playlists, so I'll give 'er a go



Depression:
"All Alone" by Mad Season

dropping out of school:
"Schools are Prisons" by The Sexless Pistols
"Stay Free" by The Clash

worried about the future:
"This Is Your Life" by Switchfoot
"Brave Awakening" by Terry Reid

turning down a whore (and getting beaten up for it):
"Smiley Faces" by Gnarles Barkley

death of a loved one:
"Natasha" by Rufus Wainwright

^Coping with it:
"Don't Panic" by Coldplay
"Angel's Son" by Sevendust
"Death Is Not The End" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

jealousy over a girl:
"Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeah's

Reminiscing about a past crush:
"Tuesday's Gone" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Time" by Alan Parsons Project
"World Keeps Turning" by Tom Waits

these are good !!!! :)

I'll probably add more later. I've got mp3s of these if you need 'em

I'll look into all of these, but i found most of my own. Thanks everyone who helped, except dominion:p .

My List is:

Runaway- Cartel (running from problems)

The Scientist-Coldplay (death *possibly)

Parachutes-coldplay (Jane Gallagher ((he likes her))

Vindicated- Dashboard confessional (end of story, he's.... vindicatedish)

Mad World- Jules (depression)

2 Points for Honesty- Guster (slacker attitude)

All these things that i've done-killers (nostalgia)

Bent- Matchbox 20 (his mind is in pieces and scattered)

What to do -OKGO (he doesn't know what to do with himself, he has no place)

This will be our year-okgo (end of the story, he has a change of mind and is going back to school, etc)

I need a few more, still don't have a whore one, gonna look at some of you guys'.

So far:

Depression - Mad World .. Gary Jules (gotta agree with this one)
Worried about the future - Eighteen - Alice Cooper http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpP38...elated&search=

I'll think about the rest and post if I get ideas. :)

Add another one to your list, Posh...

In the End - Linkin Park. One of my absolute favs.



for the "turning down a whore"...I d recommend some songs, but you dont want death metal stuff in your project, so I wont.
