I’ve been putting off an English project for a long time- I need to write a paper on 3 songs with similar themes. I’m not that great at abstract thinking so it’s difficult for me to understand the messages of songs. If you know of any off the top of your head I would appreciate it if you posted them here.
Hmmm. Well, it would help a bit if we had a little more info on what kind of music you’re looking for, but I some suggestions if any genre is ok.
A lot of artists have come out with WTC tributes, and using three of these might be helpful. Two that I can think of off the top of my head are She Kissed a Hero by Christina Milian and The Innocent by Good Charlotte.
If you want a suicide type theme, one song would be * Four Dead Cheerleaders* by Dropkick Murpheys.
I realize that I didn’t give you three songs in either suggestion, but as they’re rather common I’m sure you’ll be able to find the rest.
If I think of any more, I’ll let you know. Hope I helped!

How about songs about unrealized expectations (i.e “This didn’t go the way I planned it.”)? Lord knows there are a million of 'em out there. If I were doing this paper and chose that theme, two of the songs I’d choose are: “Unanswered Prayers” by Garth Brooks and “Fast Car” by Tracey Chapman.
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
My Generation - The Who
Don’t be Misunderstood - The Animals
There you go, you ought to be able to bang out five pages on that easy.
Damn it! It’s Don’t Let me be Misunderstood
