Hi, I was just wondering what a good song to annotate for english. We have to annotate and discover the purpose of the song, the audience, and the speaker.


Inb4 Dubstep.

im pretty biased about music i like personally, but if youve ever listened to every time i die, keith buckley (the lead singer) is one of my favorite lyricists ever. you can find meanings to their songs on songmeanings.com if you cant figure out the meaning behind it. id check out ebolarama, the new black, or buffalo 666 if you wanted to check them out. good luck.

Try anything by bright eyes or connor oberst. Very depressing lyrics and general awesomeness. Try one called ship in a bottle.

If you wanna challenge yourself, try this song. (clicky cause video probably doesn't work) If you can understand what they say half the time.


I think these might be the lyrics

Sorry about the dub post but the songs about Slugs son, his father, and then about himself.

Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon.    So fucking easy.  It's about the Vietnam war, so just go from there.

Strawberry Fields is great.

No one i think is in my tree. I mean it must be high or low. That is you can't, you know, tune it but it's alright, that as I think it's not too bad.

Always, no, sometimes think it's me. But you know I know when it's a dream. I mean I think i know ah yes, but it's all wrong...that as I think I disagree.

Why easy? Go with something where you can be creative and put some effort into it.

Here's my pick:
