| Last Kiss ~ Wayne Cochran (covered by Pearl Jam). Story of a horrific car accident in which several teens are killed. Inspired by a true story where a sixteen year old girl was killed in a car accident while on a date.
The Freshman ~ Verve Pipe. Similar to Brick, the singer's real life (ex) girlfriend had an abortion. In the song she goes on to commit suicide.
Speculum ~ Adema. Another abortion tale, this time about a band mate's girlfriend who had an abortion without ever informing him she was pregnant. When he found out about it later he lamented his lost child.
Betterman ~ Pearl Jam. Story about a women who is being beaten by her significant other but cannot leave him.
Pool Shark ~ Sublime. It's a song about Bradley's losing battle with heroin addiction. Especially sad knowing that the heroin ultimately killed him.
Chasing Cars ~ Snow Patrol. If you have ever been torn from someone you love, or had time run out for you or a loved one, this song will have you bawling like a baby.
Bad Diary Days ~ Pedro the Lion. It's a song about a guy finding out his girlfriend is cheating on him.
4 AM ~ Our Lady Peace. About a guy who has a bad relationship with his father, but is awoken at 4 AM to learn his father's dying and he realizes how much time he's wasted. This song really gets to me. |
