Question: My daughter has a school project and needs a song that relates to the poem " The Mending Wall" by Robert Frost
She needs a song that basically talks about keeping secrets!. It can be any type of music!. But we are at our wits end searching the net for lyrics!. Please keep it clean and serious as she is sitting here with me!. Thank you all so very much!. Any help we can get will help!Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
She needs a song that basically talks about the everyday interactions between people and the struggles between mankind!. The Beatles would probably be a good starting point!. I attached some annotations I found particularly interesting during the analysis of this poem!. But above all, try not to take such a verbatim approach, as much of this is creative license and symbolism anyways!.
"The poems explores a paradox in human nature!. That we want a wall, a barrier to protect ourselves from others, but also need that wall to break down so we can interact with others!."Www@Enter-QA@Com

Live to Tell by Madonna

Here are the lyrics: even have references to a wall:
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
Chorus:
A man can tell a thousand lies
Ive learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, till then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
Ive seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you cant take that from me
(chorus)
2nd chorus:
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
If I ran away, Id never have the strength To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear When will they learn
How will they know!?

EDIT: actually , i just had a look at the poem and I found this essay on it- it seems to be more about the differences between people, not so much about secrets!.!.!.!.

OOOOH, got one: Jericho by Joni Mitchell:

ONE last idea if you want something more contemporary and uplifting there Five For Fighting's "Jericho", can't find the lyrics, think the song might be new!. http://www!.youtube!.com/watch!?v=7W1s-g6MS!.!.!.
I'm sure there'l be more songs out there with Jericho or walls of Jericho references in them that might work tooWww@Enter-QA@Com
