Why does the song title say that it is a "Lovely war" when of course it probably isn't.

The Winner Takes It All

Song by ABBA

I thought it was weird that they were singing about an unknown place. I haven't listened to it, so idk where "over there" is.

"Headlines"

Drake is a very modern artist, and "Headlines" is a very good, keep-your-hopes-up kind of song.

I thought it was very interesting due to the overall meaning of hope in a place of desolation. It is meant to be a tribute to nurses in the First World War.

"Don't Stop Me Now-Queen" (1979)

It is a song of motivation that continues to provide hope to the listeners.

"My Blood" by Twenty One Pilots.

I chose this title because I was curious as to what exactly they meant by the title. I'm assuming it meant something about a peaceful fireplace, and how they want that peace to continue, even though there is so much chaos and destruction on the front.

Landslide by Fleetwood Mac

"roses"- outkast

^{This song intrigued me becuase why is it called its a Lovely War when it is in fact not a lovely war. Is it sarcasm?}

"This is my fight song"

^{I chose this song becuase they were fighting, so the irony would be fun.}

Modern:

Kokomo by the Beach Boys

I was listening to 1890s - 1910s music, and most of it wasn't very good, but this song stood out to me.

The singer Bert Williams was also in a few silent films, so I think that's pretty neat.

_______________________________________________

For modern day, I would listen to the full album London Calling.

Lots of war-related songs from The Clash.

Modern song: Asleep by The Smiths

1st reason based off of song title, is that it is in german, so it gave a german perspective

2nd reason, this is my real reason, when listening to the song the soldiers are literally saying that there will be no winner, and that it won't be ending soon

"Crazy Story" King Von

If I was fighting in war, it would be crazy.

Or Fortunate Son CCR for obvious reasons

I found it interesting because the song title says it was a lovely war which I think a lot of people would disagree with

"Sound of Da Police" -KRS one

This is very interesting because many men want to become soldiers, so this is from the parents' point of view.

"Warrior" by Demi Lovato

This is an anthem for self-empowerment and being resilient.

Corrido De Juanito: This corrido tells the story of a struggling immigrant living in the US, in fear of being caught by Immigration, and is for the immigrant's son, who is a US Citizen by birth. Making this a related story.

Modern Day: "Don't Stop Me Now-Queen" (1979)

"Army Dreamers"

Dance monkey by tones and I

Modern song: i know its over by The Smiths

I chose this because it was originally a british song which later became a global anthem for the war.

I Like to Move It

Song by Erick Morillo and Sacha Baron Cohen ‧ 2005

"There's a Long, Long Trail" by John McCormack (1917)

There is the word "long" twice in the title to depict the very far and long separation from home to where the soldier travels. They are very far, so if they are injured or if they die, there is no one from their background there to be a part of it.

Modern

"Headshots" (feat. Lil Deko, Luh Mari 4pf, Yns Corey, & Baby Tay)

My modern song is Fake Plastic Trees
