1) Mad world by Gary Jules

"Bright and early for their daily races, going nowhere, their tears are filling up their glasses,no expression, hide my head i want to drown my sorrow, no tomorrow"

The reason I chose this song for Holden s because the way the artist talks about the world and his life is very similar to the way Holden feels, sad and depressed." I' sick of not having the courage to be absolutely anybody

2) Beethoven's 7th symphony allegretto

There are no lyrics to this because it's just music but if you hear it it is kind of in a tone and rhythm of someone just messing up and of someone falling apart in his life.

3)Zack Hemsey- The way

This music doesn't have lyrics but listening to this song really puts you in a sad and depressed mood because the music is like of someone being depressed because he can't get over something and doing bad stuff to fill that hole that he has empty

4)Eels-I need some sleep

"i need some sleep, i can't go on like this,everyone said, i'm getting down too low, everyone said, you just gotta let it go"

the song relates very much to Holden because it's saying about how he is suffering and he is really hurting himself, and everyone else tries to help be he refuses and keeps bringing himself down, he just needs to let go. "i know its crazy but it's the only thing i like to be"

5)Spiritualized-lay it down slow

This song in the lyrics it's talking about how his life is falling apart and how it is very bad, so himself is just giving up , he is left for dead by his own mind, the lyrics are saying how to tell him it's ok to give up and die. "Do you feel absolutely concern of you future"

8)Hoobastank-the reason

"i'm not a perfect person, and the reason needs me, i never meant to do those things, so i have to say before i go"

the song is saying, that as if it were talking to himself, he is forgiving himself and saying sorry, something he can no longer change, but can get over it and move on. " I like it when somebody gets excited about something it's nice"

9)Keane-bad dream

the is song is saying about how his life so far has been a bad thing, a mess and it feels like a nightmare and he is trying to wake up, and even after that he needs to keep fighting, but he is sick and tired of that. "I can be quite sarcastic when I'm in the mood"
