Lost Love
Before people can realize life and death, they are elderly and regretting the mistakes or missed opportunities. Even the most meticulous people are blind to their congested lives and the lives of others. The song, Last Kiss (Pearl Jam), is an interesting song with heartache, regret, and sorrow. Some people become so absorbed with the everyday hustle and do not enjoy the moment. They forget to appreciate the people, family, friends, and loved ones in their lives. Humans are always on the go and is never an end to the daily chaos. Everything in life is a rush and last-minute; where the highways are busy with traffic while some even risk others’ lives to get somewhere a few minutes ahead of time. The value of life, friendship, love,

The lyric “Where oh where can my baby me” (Pearl Jam) is the start of a loss becoming reality with fear of not being able to see that loved one again. The darkness of the loss sets in and there is no way of seeing or finding a way out. The lyric presents that fear of not finding their love even though they were just with them. The lyric “She’s gone to heaven so I need to be good, so I can see my baby when I leave this world” (Pearl Jam) can represent that fear of loss and the start of changes in their life. The wish to live a better life so they can see their baby when their time in this world is over. Some can deal with the significant loss in a small amount of time while others might grieve for years. The grief could lead to depression or suicide. Some might close themselves off from the rest of the world after the loss and always feel guarded. A loss for some might blind the hope of another relationship which could lead to a lonely life while others will recover and try love again. Life begins with screaming, crying, and joy; and then life then ends with the same, but sorrow replaces …show more content…
The lyric “I’ll never forget that sound that night” (Pearl Jam) is something that can signify the emotional part of the pain. The emotional pain from the sight of seeing his love in pain and the memory of the sounds of that night. He could hear those sounds again and it might trigger pain he felt that night. The lyric “the screaming tires and the busting glass, the painful scream that I heard last” (Pearl Jam) amplifies that emotional pain because those sounds create a horrific picture just from reading it. The pain from broken bones, cuts, and scrapes with sounds of the twisting and crushing metal describe some of the sources by the artist. He is dealing with the hearing, feeling, the smell and describes that this accident was a horrific scene. These senses and images could be embedded into their mind and could present itself again form a future event. Pain might last a lifetime while the memories might lower over

This first song goes well with Holden because we see throughout the whole book, how Holden experiences loneliness.

The song “Use Somebody” by King of Leon shows Holden’s perception of the world. For example, Holden walks around New York and criticizes all he see’s. He says, “ New York is terrible, when somebody laughs on the street very late at night. You can hear it for miles. It makes you feel so lonesome and depressed” (Salinger 81). Holden thinks of everyone and everything in a depressing manor. Everything that other people do, makes him depressed and which makes them a “phony”. In addition, the band King of Leon feel the same way when they say, “ I’ve been roaming around/Always looking down at all I see” (King of Leon). Holden always sees things in a negative way and is looking down on life. Holden does not have the happiness that other people have

I think that this song helps to explain Fahrenheit 451 due to it talking about, running away from the lies. It’s about opening your eyes and seeing what is going on and trying to put an end to it.

They opened their eyes and tried to do things about

It is not easy to cope after a loved one dies. There will be lots of mourning and grieving. Mourning is the natural process you go through to accept a major loss. Mourning may include religious traditions honoring the dead or gathering with friends and family to share your loss. (Mallon, 2008) Mourning is personal and may last months or years.
Everyone has or will experience a loss of a loved one sometime in their lives. It is all a part of the cycle of life and death. The ways each person copes with this loss may differ, but according to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s novel On Death and Dying, a person experiences several stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and, finally, acceptance. There is no set time for a person to go through each stage because everyone experiences and copes with grief differently. However, everyone goes through the same general feelings of grief and loss. There are also sections in Kahlil Gibran’s “The Prophet” that connect to the process of grieving: “On Pain,” “On Joy and Sorrow,” and “On Talking.” Kahlil Gibran’s “The Prophet” reflects on Kübler-Ross’s model of the different stages of grief and loss.
All I ever needed to know about love, I learned form the Goo Goo Dolls. This band with songs such as “Iris”, “Slide”, and “Black Balloon” speak of the longing that comes with love lost for example in the song “Black Balloon” The singer talks about the fact that “A thousand other boys could never reach you, how could I have been the one.” In “Iris” The speaker talks about the fact that regardless of what the world thinks, his love will continue, “you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming, but I know you can feel me some how… I don’t want the world to see me cause I don’t think that they’d understand.” In the song “Slide” they speak more of the sexual side of love “I wanna wake up where you are.”
What is love? If you were to ask anyone from a young person to a senior citizen, you would probably get a cliché answer that love is a strong feeling of affection. We “fall in love,” or two people meet and it’s “love at first sight.” This definition by no means is wrong. However, it does leave out a substantial piece of information. By reading the Bible, we can gather that love is not just a strong feeling of affection but it is God. God is love. God is the source of all love and the sole reason it exists. Our definition of love is often misdirected. Its object tends to become the creation not the Creator. We focus on self, excluding God and others. We have the perfect mentor that shows us love everyday. Through this new understanding of love, we can better understand the lyrics and meaning to the song “Your Love Never fails.”
