I picked Soundtrack to my life by Kid Cudi as one of the songs that I could connect to Holden's life. The song is about how people around him don't realize the problems that he is facing.
He says, "I have got some issues, that nobody can see. And all of these emotions are pouring outta me, I bring em to the light for you it's only right", I can really relate this verse with Holden's life. Holden has obviously went through a lot of stuff and nobody seems to understand him. Moreover, Holden gets depressed whenever he starts thinking about Allie or Jane Gallagher.
He says, "Or even explain the troubles that haunted my mom," Holden understands his mom. He knows how she felt after Allie's death. Holden also knows that he is a trouble in my family. He is not meeting their expectations and certainly being a trouble to his mom. He doesn't care about school.
The song says, "So now I'm in the cut, alcohol in the wound. My heart's an open sore that I hope heals soon," this line really shows my perspective on Holden. I believe Holden wants to recover from whatever he is suffering from and try to move on in his life. He wants to forget about the tragedies he had in his past life. He wants to be a better happy person but the only he can be is only if he moves on in his life.
good song and good analysis of Holden through the song. Holden defintily has issues and some unhealed wounds which is a lot like the lyrics in the song
ReplyDeletehaha i got you on that song but yeah good analysis and great song to chose because Kid Cudi has went through alot in his life just like Holden and that is a great person to use to compare with Holden, and they are both sort of unpredictable in what they do.
